Ann Guis

[joger]

Genealogie 60 answered that they never did any research in the Var département.
So, I just phoned them and they say that indeed they sold datas to Ancestry , they don't remember where the date and location of the marriage of this couple came from.
I suggested that may be the couple went north through France in order to emigrate in England, they may have settled a while somewhere in Oise and had a child who was registered in the parish registers  with the mention of the marriage. They agree it could have happened but there are 736 villages and cities in Oise . The task to find this birth is too big in this case .
Another possibility is that the date is no right , another Anne Guis married a Thomas Michel at another date ( not 1688 ).

I'l try to search Saint-Zacharie's registers to find Thomas and/or Anne's births , though possibly huguenots , the huguenots births often were registered in the catholic registers , but not the marriages.

I would love to find more, they sound so interesting.. so many possibilties... to discover with these two..

and there you go

So WDYTYA  would sort this by me just turning up at the nearby Offices and telling them the names.

maybe I need to dream harder and envisage their journey.

I am reflecting ---- on Ann and wondering if maybe I should attempt a general 'GUIS' search to discover a possible AREA for the family.

 

and to see if they were Definitely Huguenots..

will leave it for now..

but this particular bone down for a day or so.

From 1630 to 1689 I found several MICHEL families  in Saint-Zacharie, but nobody called Thomas.
Absolutely no GUIS in the village.
1690 and 1691 : no registers.

MICHEL is quite common, there are people called MICHEL everywhere in France. GUIS isn't and is mostly found in the south of France (Var, Vaucluse, Alpes Maritimes, Bouches du Rhone).

You are a gem for attempting this for me .. thank you x


It just shows I will have to arrange a trip.

another family mystery that will have to wait for the next generation to solve then...if truth known.

Thanks Joger
