British subjects in France
« on: Sunday 13 August 17 17:51 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I don't know if I am in the right place and if it's even useful. I would like to list the British subjects I find in France during my own queries.

For example, today, I found the

birth record of Elisabeth Victoria EDWARDS, born on December 8th 1840 in Chantilly (Oise), daughter of George EDWARDS (piqueur au service de son altesse royale monseigneur le duc d'Orléans, domicilié à Chantilly bâtiment des Grandes écuries) and Elisabeth ARNULL EDWARDS his wife. One of the witnesses is Edgar PAVIS, 27 years old, jockey au service du duc d'Orléans, a friend.

death record of Wiliam Chichester EDWARDS in Pléneuf-Val-André (Côtes d'Armor), dead on August 22th 1826. He was 38 years old, lieutenant de vaisseau de la marine britannique. Parents William EDWARDS and Elisabeth CHICHESTER. He is a native of Bonristaple province du Devonshire. I honestly can't read the name of his birthplace. I guess it's Barnstaple.

birth record of William Charles Louis EDWARDS in Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) on June 7th 1843 (born the day before), son of William George EDWARDS, 36 years old, rentier, and Marie Clara MALCOLM, 38 years old, his wife.

The next record is the death record of Albert William JONES, son of George Albert JONES, 26, palfrenier, and Eugénie Alphonsine Charlotte LETELLIER
