Cotton Trade Liverpool

[mickawinn]

Brussels. My mistake, that’s where the family always believed he was from.

[TreeSpirit]

Of course the birth could have occurred in any of those little municipalities that are part of the Brussels region.
I checked Brussels and Molenbeek for births around that time and the only Leporcq birth was for a Jeanne Emilie Leporcq in 1882. The parents Charles Augustin Leporcq and Marie Delphine Galliot were actually residents of Boulogne sur Mer in France. (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-CS9W-G2?i=225&cc=1482191&cat=147201  - #5001).

Here is a list of the other Brussels municipalities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_municipalities_of_the_Brussels-Capital_Region

Additionally, No Leporcq was listed as an inhabitant of Brussels in 1882 and 1885.

BTW Have you tried Pierre's marriage certificate yet?

[mickawinn]

Yes I have his marriage certificate which was where I found his father’s name.

What was his father's occupation? The one in Tourcoing was a contre-maitre - a foreman.

I don't think there is any connection to South Liverpool except that Pierre died at the Northern Hospital. After the marriage they lived in Southport. where Pierre died in 1960.
