Dated 8 July 1944, the address is Clinique de La Sagesse, Rue Pere de Monfort, Rennes, France Libre ! and was written by one of the Sisters of the Order (my husband's G Aunt). This was the first opportunity for many years to send a letter home, due to the occupation, to her family in Liverpool.

I'm having difficulty with the words in italics but am ok with the rest of it, though have no idea what 'at the Wireless' refers to - though as she had been in France for about 15 years her letters show that she was no longer used to speaking in English and some of her phrasing in the letters is definitely a literal translation to English rather than colloquial English which was her her mother tongue perhaps she meant he made speeches on the wireless but unless I can decipher his name I can't even begin to try to find out

"one of our Doctors introduced me to the Deputy of
General De Gaulle and General Koenig and John
[can't read word] the famous speaker at the Wireless. I visited
the patients with them and distributed chocolate
and cigarettes, General De Gaulle is coming soon,
I expect to see him."

Any help would be appreciated

I've struggled a bit with the handwriting and my french is 'very' rusty. I think I have the gist of it but am very unsure about 4 words.
This is what I think it says:

1887, 28 October at 10 a.m. 
[? certificate/registration ?] of birth of Jeanne Marie Therese Manquin, female;
 born 26 October [can't read word]  at 3 a.m. at the home of her father and mother;
daughter of Jacques Manquin age 34 and Marie Labiaguerre, the same age;
both domestic servants, married [can't read word] avenue de Messine, no 10.
Drawn up by us Jerer** Kanstler,  deputy mayor, registrar of the 8th arrondissement of Paris
knight of the legion of honour, [?Academy Officer?]
upon the presentation of the child and the declaration made by the father,
In the presence of Pierre Bucher age 50, concierge residence  Ave de Messine no 10
and of Auguste [surname] age 47, valet, residence Rue Royale no. 9
[can't read word] who have signed with the declarant and us, after reading.

and the image where I have underlined the words I am having difficulty with is attached.
If anyone has time to see if I am on the right track with what I do have and can help with the mising words, I'd appreciate it

I realise this is quite a small image and if its not possible to make it less 'dotty' then I'd rather not waste anyone's time, but Granda always told me that shy bairns get nowt so I thought it was worth asking.

Though the newspaper got his middle initial wrong, this is definitely Thomas Nicholson Jobling, and I do have an earlier image of him with his family that many of you kind folk helped me with a couple of years ago

but I'd like to keep this image in our records too.

thanks

This is from a burial register page dated 1806. (can't post the whole image as I signed my life away on a copyright form)

I'd like opinions please , the top one is 68  (that 8 is consistent with other 8s on the page)
If the bottom one is 62, then its the lady I am looking for, if its 82 then she was 20 years older than the man she married in 1771 and would have been too old to be still having children in 1788.

thanks
Boo
