French place? Aisne
« on: Monday 05 April 21 18:12 BST (UK) »
A piece of text after the father's name. Mother's name is where it starts 'Barbe'.

I was expecting to see his occupation but I think it actually refers to l'aisne, the region. I just wanted to know the word after it was, starting f or t? Not sure if it's a place in Aisne, or that's the occupation or if it's just introducing the mother.

Thanks for reading

L'aisné: today "l'aîné" = "the elder" or "senior"

Following word probably is the occupation.  Could it be "felacier", a phonétique transcription of "filassier"= "flax spinner" according to this site:

That was the nearest I could find having a quick look.  It would be easier if we could see more of the writing to compare letters.  I think the second letter is an "e" as the writer usually seems to dot his "i"s.

It looks like filacier (old spelling of filassier?) = Ouvrier broyant les tiges de lins pour en séparer l'écorce et les transformer en filasse (ie a worker who "brakes" flax stems to separate from the "bark" and transform them into "tow"). Very rough translation, off to bed, but will have another look tomorrow.

Was this for Pierre, son of Pierre? If so, then, aisné = aîné = Senior (as in Pierre Blondeau Sr).
