French to English Translation Required
« on: Sunday 15 August 21 10:30 BST (UK) »
I'd appreciate help with this record of an infant death. The mother died within a few days -- on or before 2 April.

Parents: William Francis Cardwell, and his wife, Emily (Moyers), were from Ireland. Not sure why they were in Paris. Maybe the translation will shed light.

Thank you so much!

Nothing helpful I think.

This 28th day of March in the year 1864 at 11 in the morning was presented to me the body of an infant without life, of female sex, born from her mother the 25th of this month at 4 in the morning, at Paris, rue neuve des Capuchines 5, daughter of William Francis Cardwell, landlord and of Amélie Moyers his wife, no profession, of the above residence.
First witness Louis Hauser, hotelier, age 30, resident of the aforesaid rue neuve des Capuchines 5,
Second witness William Francis Cardwell, age 33, father of the deceased, profession and residence as above,
Who have after the reading of this act signed below ...

[added] "landlord" may not be right.  "rentier" seems to be the equivalent of "independent means" or someone who lives off investments etc. Just a placeholder for occupation.
Rutter, Sampson, Swinerd, Head, Redman in Kent.  Others in Cheshire, Manchester, Glos/War/Worcs.

Yes the online dictionaries suggest "annuitant" or "person of private means/person of independent means" for rentier

Thank you so much for the translation!

I'm not sure why there would be a difference in dates from the 25th to the 28th if the infant was born without life. But I suppose the 28th was when the death was registered or buried, not of the death itself. The translation does provide an address -- every clue helps.

Source: "Paris, France, Births, Marriages, and Deaths, 1792-1902 for Enfant Sans Vie Cardwell" on Ancestry.

Curious, would the profession, landlord, be used in the case of someone on a short stay i.e, renting for a visit/holiday? As far as I know, William was a grain and flour merchant in Armagh and Tullyelmer, Co Armagh, Ireland. No records of him being a landlord or remaining in Paris.

I'm still looking for the death record for the mother, Emily [Amelie] Moyers Cardwell.

I have just found Emily's death record. I would appreciate help translating it as well. I've attached that image.
