This thread will be devoted to basic biographical details on female French lawn tennis players from about 1895-1914. I've been searching for basic details, i.e. date and place of birth, date and place of death, husband's name and date and place of marriage for a number of them, but without success.
Here they are, in alphabetical order:
Jacqueline Gallay – married Pierre Liotard-Vogt in 1944
--
Adine Masson – of Canadian origin, daughter of Armand, sister of Willy; listed as Françoise Adine Masson in some sources
--
Jeanne Matthey – know nothing about her early life; had a tennis-playing sister called Cécile and two brothers, one called Fernand (?)
