Thank you, Gurud. I've looked a bit further, and like you, I can find no evidence that a French title "...... de Goutiere" has ever existed, whether Comte or Comtesse or anything else. And certainly descent from an ordinary Mr Goutiere hardly qualifies one to become a titled de Goutiere.
So I think we can suspect that any person or persons making use of such a title have (shall we say) adopted it for some reasons that seem good to them. And that any supposed marriage to some untraceable Bourbon princess has a similar fragile basis.
