Francine Forray - Chambery, France

[Lauren Campbell]

Seeking information regarding Francine Forray, who was born on 23 May 1887 in Chambery, France. I would love to find out more details about who were parents were (I know her mother's maiden name was Martin) and whether they had more children. In 1917 in New York, she married William John Brown Mclean, born 1886 in Glasgow, Scotland and he died in Los Angeles in 1961. Of William and Francine's children, I only know of one son, Roderick Albert Mclean, born in New York in 1918 and died in Los Angeles in 2000. Francine died in Los Angeles in 1990. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Lauren

In her Declaration of Intention in 1937, when she is age 50, she:
* Gives her race  as France, and nationality as British
* States she has one child, son Roderick.
* Her husband is William.
* Her last foreign residence was Aix-les-Bains, France

In her Petition for Naturalisation/ Oath of Allegiance in 1941, when she is 53, she
* declares she is divorced.

Cheers

I am sure there will be more to find in the French archives but I have to go to bed!
