Hi Again barryd,

Many thanks for this.

Sadly it does not however have what I'm looking for, as I mentioned in my original post I'm after a marriage that took place in Bulawayo in February 1914.

Many thanks to Milliepede, Kloumann, rosie99 & barryd  for both your research and your kind suggestions.

I had seen the marriage in 1909 in Poplar, London but as you have noted it gives a different father, my Annie Sophia's father was definitely Thomas Waller. Her mother Fanny dies in the March Qtr 1949 aged 94 yrs.

I still think the death notice I've located in 1957 is my Annie Sophia Congdon (Waller), if only there were a way to obtain a copy of the original document from 1914 in Bulawayo ???

Once again many thanks for all your help.... it is appreciated

South Africa / Annie Sophia Congdon - Bulawayo Marriage
« on: Tuesday 10 March 20 20:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I'm hoping that someone with more knowledge of research in Bulawayo, might be able to help me.

I've found a death notice on Family search for the above Annie Sophia Congdon 1886 - 1957. Annie or Sophia as she was known in the family was born in London, England. If my research is correct she was the daughter of a Thomas & Fanny WALLER. (Nee Peckover)

The death notice which I've located doesn't list her parents names, they are just recorded as deceased. (So I cant be 100% certain this is my actual Waller relation) It does however give a marriage place & date. Bulawayo February 1914. (The Annie Sophia's who's death I've found, married an Arthur Congdon) So I'm just wondering how do I go about obtaining a copy of their marriage, is there a national index available ?... online perhaps ?

Any help would be very much appreciated,

Regards - Rowlandson

Dear Svenja & Judith,

Thank you both so much for all your help.

Svenja - following your advice I looked at the tables decennales for Berck sur Mer and found an entry for Rene Maurice Pichard & Blanche Elizabeth Woodroffe in 1915. But the actual marriage entry doesn't appear to be online to view, neither as you say, does the census.

Judith - many thanks for this additional information of Rene Maurice Pichard's birth and death dates, and for the copy of his actual birth entry, all of which is new information to me. It would appear that Ive been researching his christian names the wrong way around .... just to add to the confusion  :(

I guess if I now would like a copy of the actual marriage entry I have to apply to the Mairie directly ?

Many thanks once again both for all your help, it is much appreciated  :D :D

Hi Svenja,

Many thanks for your reply.

I was hoping that there might be some kind of French national index online such as Free BMD. My problem is I wouldn't know where to start to look for their marriage location wise.

I have not as yet tried searching geneanet, but will certainly take a look.

Many thanks once again for your advice,  :)

Europe / Help Please !! -How do I locate an early 20th Century marriage in France ?

Hi All,

I hope that someone might be able to point in the right direction as to how I go about obtaining a French marriage certificate between the years 1913 - 1919.

I have a 2 x great aunt living in London in 1913 and giving birth to a son in the Dec Qtr of that year. She was at the time unmarried. However I can find no marriage for her in the British GRO between 1913 and 1919 when she turns up again as a Madame Pichard, and we believe she may of married in France. Her name was Blanche Elizabeth Woodroffe and she marries a Maurice Rene Pichard. We believe that the family later (1940's) lived in the Berck area of France.

Any help however small would be most appreciated  ;D

Regards,
Rowlandson

Hi Again ThrelfallYorky

I really appreciate you taking the time to look for me.

My initial request was a bit of a long shot, as I was rather hoping that local newspapers for the Leigh area might be on line .... I guess its back to the drawing board  ;D

Many thanks once again for your help
