France: i cant find the town in france

[jorose]

Digging around other possible places for British ironworkers and their families to turn up in France, and found a few places in Eure, closeish to Le Havre. One is Pont Audemer, home to Les Forges de la Risle:
http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Forges_de_la_Risle

Records can be found here:
http://archives.eure.fr
In Pont-Audemer are births:
Thomas Perry, 31 Jan 1837
 - not yours, the child of William Perry and Mary Anne Mawdsley

deaths:
stillborn child Perry, 27 Dec 1846 - the child of John Perry, aged 25, and Mary Ann Ward, aged 26, his wife
Rebecca Perry, 28 Dec 1846 - aged five, the daughter of Richard Perry, puddler (English), and the late Rebecca Perry.

Perhaps William and John were part of a wider family network and link into Richard and Rebecca somehow? At any rate, this does show us that Richard's wife Rebecca was deceased by 1846, even if we can't locate the birth of Thomas...

Unfortunately the OP has not be around lately - last here about a year ago - but hopefully she will get an email about this thread.

Since 2008 more French genealogy has become available online, much of it through the individual departmental archives.  Decazeville is part of the department of Aveyron, and their archives are at:
http://archives.aveyron.fr

Looking at records from Decazeville, 1833-1842, for example, I see
one under Perry, (Edouard), 11 November 1836

Edouard Perry was the son of Richard Perry, aged 32, from England, and his wife Rebecca aged 31, also from England.

Possibly this same couple had children baptised in Paris in 1833, Richard and Martha.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F73R-99H
(Unfortunately a lot of birth records from Paris of this period were destroyed)

They may be the same couple who had a daughter Anne baptised in Bilston in 1828:

While looking for what happened to the rest of the family, I note that in 1851 Richard is back in England with several of these children (and your Thomas), youngest Sarah b. about 1845, and no Rebecca.

Could this be her burial, in Havre?

I have looked for Decashill but no searchs found on a later census it says born in Paris I believe this is a spelling mistake, is there a town in Paris with a name sounding like Decashill.
