London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: DUFORT, John Charles 1847-1911; Help with Finding Parents

Hi Jos,

Thank you very much for providing the hint for the additional research location.  Found his parents and grandparents.  Familysearch.org also had additional family members. 

Thanks again!

Robert

Only wish I could make out the penmanship in the marriage document to put it into a translation program.

Hi Jos,

THANK YOU! for the link for the marriage certificate.  Is the wife's surname BREN or BRET ?  I am intrigued by your reference of an Antwerp Foreigner file for John/Jean Charles Dufort which lists his parents.

Do you still have the link or a date for the Antwerp data?

Now I need to get the marriage license translated.  I believe I can make out these tidbits

Louis Auguste Albert Dufort, Glasier

Son of Jean Baptiste Chimothie Dufort Colivatier
and
Virginie Regina Berast safemma

Clara Bren

Daughter of Farre Egalite Bren
and
Adelaide Berard

Thank you again!  I look forward to reviewing it better once I get home from this business trip.

Just a quick post to inform that I requested/paid for a Page Check at the National Archives and paid for a digital copy of the background papers dealing with John Charles Dufort's naturalisation.

Unfortunately, only testaments of those knowing and vouching for his character, loyality, and residence were in the file.

Looks like this will be brickwall.

Hi Bookbox,

Thank you for the suggestion to find any supplemental papers for the naturalisation. 

I did apply/submit for a page check, hopefully, his parent's identities are listed.

Hi AVM228,

Thank you for the graveyard detective link.  I did not previously have John Charles Dufort's birthdate.

It was a Ancestry.com DNA hit that has me on this search.  Third Cousin and I'm trying to figure out whom is the connection.

Appreciate the snippet, it did help me.

Hi Chrisane,

Thank you for the response.   The actual marriage record can be viewed at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GT71-9X7S?i=91&wc=MCM6-2NL%3A44975801%2C44975802%2C50670101%2C50882401&cc=1468076   

image 92; last record on the bottom of the page

Unfortunately, John Charles Dufort's parents were not identified.  Is it possible the Brookwood cemetery record of his burial would have any information?  Newspaper obituary?

I live in Alaska, so not convenient to make a physical visit.

Robert
