Which area of France?
There is no national database as in freebmd, but some of the Departmental archives have put records, or at least indexes, online.
For large towns you might try also the municipal archives.
The next thing to try is the local genealogy society (often called something like Cercle Généalogique d'(area)). Some have databases (online or offline) or assist members with finding records.
Or you might find something by searching for the location plus "état civil"
You could find out if anybody else is researching this family in the same area by using a site like http://www.geneanet.org/
There is also http://www.genealogie.com/

I didn't find this marriage in the archives of Paris in line.
You must know at Paris, there was a great fire in 1871, so the civil archives are destroyed.
But, it is two rebuilding, sectional.
Unfortunaly, I didn't found anything about Clews or Kennett in these.
While, if your relatives are Chrestian, maybe they married in a catholic church. So, there are Archives by churches but you must say in what part of Paris there was the celebration.
On the sites of communauty:
No marriage in Geneanet.
In genealogie.com, there is only one mariage for Kennett on this period but in the NIEVRE, city of Annay not Paris:

In Genealogie.com there is a family tree for Clews, I don't know if it's interesting for you:
CLEWS Eliza 1844-1888
CLEWS James Edwin < 100 ans
CLEWS Rosa :)1846
CLEWS William < 100 ans
In Geneanet, there are a lot of:

If I fond anymore, I write to you!

I didn't know that there was a fire in Paris 1871. They were Church of England. Where is Nievre, and the city of Annay? Would you be able to give me the information for the Kennett marriage at Annay?

Hi,
The Nièvre is a french departemnt in the center. Annay, maybe a village.
I just said I found only one marriage certificate for Kennett in this period.
if you want have more information, you must pay.
Still, it is sure this certficate is not Kennett AND Crews because, when I research Crews on the Database, I have nothing. There are not all the marriage certificates on the line but when you have a certificate, you have the names of the two persons who married. Here, it's sure this Kennett don't married with a Crews.

Thank you for replying and for your help.
I have a model letter for requesting Genealogy Records from France. Would I need to request the certificate in French?

Hi,
I don't know what sort of letter you have.
When you know exactly the date of an evenemnt, you can requiere a certificate to the Etat Civil of the Mairie. This is free and possible by line for any towns.If you don't know exactly, you must go to the Etat Civil. Old certificate aren't in the Mairie but at the archives of departement;
Now, if I well understood, you haven't the date exactly.
But you can have an help with the Communauty. you have some websites like ancestry. Biggers are Genealogie.fr and geneanet. Then geneaweb. You have a lot of websites specialized by departement. They have databases but quikly you must have an abonnement to continue your research.
iIt's necessary you assemble your knowleges around this marriage:Was john Crews or his wife born in France? Do you know the place? In France, on the birth certificate, death and marriage are add.Had the couple children? Do you know their names? etc

Hi Isabelle,
The letter I have is a model letter for requesting genealogy records from France.
How do I find the exact date of the marriage?
John Clews was born in Castle Norton, Worcestershire, England, and died in Brisbane Qld. Australia.
Amy Kennet was born in Kent, England, and also died in Brisbane, Qld, Australia.
They had 7 children. The eldest Sarah was born in France in 1847, married and died in Brisbane, Qld. Australia. The other children were born in Worcester, England.
