Death record of Jean Defrance in Neslette, France, 1781
« on: Thursday 15 February 24 15:40 GMT (UK) »
I have found the death record of my 5x great grandfather Jean Defrance.

Please could I have a transcription and translation of the entry.

The ink is as follows:

https://archives.somme.fr/ark:/58483/9sc7wh84m31x/efcf5b45-b656-4d02-8874-657d325b889b

Page 197 of 242.

I am hoping this leads to his birth and parents.

Thank you

On the seventeenth of May, seventeen hundred and eighty-one, Jean de France passed away at home, approximately seventy-one years old, first married to Magdeleine D'Allier and secondly to Françoise DelaMarre. His body was buried in the cemetery of this church on the eighteenth by me, the undersigned priest, in the presence of witnesses who have signed this document (…)

Couldn't makeout the last bit. Just heading out, but will look at again later - maybe someone else can work out what the end of the entry says?
