French wedding guests and their relations?
« on: Saturday 08 May 21 15:57 BST (UK) »
Just double checking all this because I'm missing a few bits.

_ Anjubault: brother. Maybe Tray but it looks like it starts with a J.
Pierre Morquin? Brother in law.
Robert Chattiau: maternal oncle of groom.
Robert Chattiau: First cousin of said Pierre Anjubault (the groom)
Marie Gatteau: should be the mother of the bride
Jacques Gatteau: unsure of relation (They've switched between lowercase and captial G earlier in the document and others)
Julian Busche: I don't think it says
Jacques Gatteau: same guy as before.

Thanks to anyone who takes a look.

To start it off, this name is Jean. The last letter n has a extended downstroke - compare son beaufils and son oncle lower down.

marie gatteau mere de La dicte Epouse (= mother of the said bride)

Robert Chattiau: maternal oncle of groom.
Robert Chattiau: First cousin of said Pierre Anjubault (the groom)

I believe this surname is written Chatteau (rather than Chattiau).

Pierre Morquin? Brother in law.

The surname looks to me like moysi, but I could be wrong.

ADDED
I think the last 3 witnesses may be Jacques Gatteau, Etienne pouteau and Julian Beuche[?], no relationships stated.

Jacques and the said Pierre were unable to sign their names.

Are you sure about the groom’s surname? If it does begin with A... it’s a curious shape.

Thanks a lot, I never would have got that.

Thanks for really going through it. And yes I am sure about the second name, it's a lot clearer on thier children's baptisms.
