Can anyone help me.
My ggg grandmother, Eliza Jane Lyon, was born in 1847 to Mary Lyon at Gravesend in Kent. No mention of a father.
I believe Mary later married David Constant, a French seaman.
I can find no evidence of the marriage other than Eliza was called Constant at the time of her own marriage (in Scotland) in 1866.
A death certificate/gravestone/notification for Mary or David would be appreciated.

Hello LC, my 3rd great grandmother is also Eliza Jane Constant (Lyon), through my great grandmother, Eliza Jane Constant Forbes. We think there could have been a marriage between David and Mary as my great grandmother received his surname but it might have been at sea since there is a martime connection. The belief of a french connection has also been passed down on our side of the family. I would be happy to exchange further information. Look forward to hearing from you.
