Looking for Marthe de Mouilpied, Ollivier

This from Susan Patt:

I've been enjoying looking at your De Mouilpied blog. I am in the US but have a Guernsey Mariette/Marriette ancestor, Jaques, who married Ann Ollivier, dau of Samuel Ollivier & Marthe de Mouillpied. I have the baptismal records for 2 children of Samuel Ollivier & Marthe de Mouillpied (1720's) in St. Martin's. The marriage record for my ancestor, Anne, lists Samuel Ollivier & Marthe de Mouillpied as being "of La Fosse".

Beyond these details, I've not found any other direct link to the ancestors or siblings of this Marthe De Mouilpied! I have read through land records and church records but to no avail as of yet. It seems like Marthe would likely have been born not much later than 1700 considering the age of her children as well.

In addition, I do have mention of a Daniel De Mouillpied in late 1700's, also connected to my Marriette family as well as a Jeanne De Mouille-pied, listed as a godmother, to my ancestor Daniel Mariette, b 1754. (St Peter Port church)

I would be delighted to learn if you ever see my Marthe de Mouilpied or if you run across the following allied Channel Island names: Mariette/Marriette, Olivier/Ollivier, Blanche, Tourtel.

best wishes for a rich and rewarding research!! susanpatt@mac.com
