Domestic Servants working in Brussels
« on: Thursday 28 May 09 07:59 BST (UK) »
My Grandparents were Domestic servants, a coachman and nurse, working in Belgium.

They married in Brussels, from different address, in 1894, Their first child was born in Brussels in 1895. They were in London in 1901.

Has anyone discovered anything about their ancestors who possibly went to Brussels with their employer in the late 1800's?

I am trying to obtain my uncle's birth certificate and would like to find out who their employers were. My grandmother's sister was also in Belgium as she was a witness at their marriage.

All I knew when I started this search was that my Grandparents met in Belgium. I would very much like to hear from anyone in a similar situation, or from a descendant who's ancestor, an employer, would have taken staff to Belgium.
