No, you're wrong there, the document is a straightforward certification of the marriage, it does not give details of either set of parents.

I do, however, have a document headed 'Conge de Liberation' for Louis Alfred Cuquemelle which says that he is the son of Jean Georges Marie and the late Adelaide Michaux and that he was born 5th Sept 1828.

Re Cuquemelle

Thanks for all the information on the Cuquemelle and Michaux families very interesting. 

Louis Alfred Cuquemelle was one of my great, great grandfathers.  I have a document which I take to be the original, or 'an original copy' of, the marriage certificate of L A Cuquemelle and Reine Warnier on 16th October 1858.  This took place in the (old) 12th arrondissement - unfortunately I previously misread the smudged number on the official stamp as '19th' arrondissement, but at the top of the page it clearly says 'le marie du douzieme arrondissement'.  (Also, I see that there were only 12 arrondissements until 1860).

He appears to have served in the French army from 1849 to 1856, spending time in Africa and the Crimean War.

At some point he moved to London  - I wish I knew why - followed in February 1862 by his wife and 13 month old daughter (my great grandmother) Victorine. (I have the Passeport a l'Interieur.)

Hope this is of interest.

Hi Dawn

Re Cuquemelle

I too would like to know why they left France.  All I can tell you  - if you don't know already -is the date - 1862.  I know this because I have a document headed 'Passeport a l'Interieur' issued 28th Feb 1862 for the safe conduct of Reine Cuquemelle and her daughter Victorine, aged 13 months, from Paris to Boulogne.  Presumably her husband had already moved to England.

Incidentally, Ethel Watson was my great aunt.  As far as I'm aware I never met her.  I have tried to trace her on the 1911 census.  Would be interested to know if her married name was Guest?

Reine Victorine Cuquemelle was my great grandmother; Reine Cuquemelle was my great great grandmother.   She was married (on 16.10.1858) to Louis Alfred Cuquemelle, born 05.09.28, died 11.01.1869 in Clerkenwell.
I'd be very interested to here from 'Janine' or 'Reine' (to whom I must be related) but as this is my first post it would have to be via the forum.
