Laura married 1912 Manchester to a Benjamin Smith, i wa told possibly their maybe a french connection ??, as i have no subs could anybody do any look ups abroad.

Laura born abt 1891/1892

Hi Maddie

Sorry not the right family

Edit
Laura arrived in England as a orphan

Things seem to relate to Wurttemberg, or Italy for 123rd Regiment, would have thought something on google for it...

Chris :)

Edits (or just 123 Campania, a few items, if you can understand them!)

This has been a mystery for a long time

Summary of laura Deniau that she came to England as a orphan age 5 born Dec 9 1891 ?? maybe France

Her mother was Marie Veraquin bp 24 Jan 1869 church of St Quin le Brisoule
Father Louis Deniau which i got of laura's marriage cert who was deceased
Also brother Marcel died 1914/18

All this written on a letter ive obtained from a family member

(for 139)

Edits ("church of St Quin le Brisoule")

Would that be below, can't see any reference to above?...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_Saint-Quentin

The Basilica of Saint-Quentin (French: Basilique de Saint-Quentin), formerly the Collegiate Church of Saint-Quentin (French: Collégiale Saint-Quentin) is a Catholic church in the town of Saint-Quentin, Aisne


(Not seeing Benjamin 1911 found on other 'Thread', details posted for him)


All the info i have on the Smiths come from the marriage cert

Benjamin Smith age 27 cloth lapper 28 Dyson St Miles Platting M/c

His father called Harry Smith (deceased) Commericial traveller


The witnesses were William Smith & Hannah Smith, presuming connected to her husband benjamin Smith, her residence was 11 Wilford Street Moston Manchester

(possibly being Wilfred Street?, looking at google)

Chris Ho

Correct for 1939 Register

Possibly St Quin has been shortened from Quentin
read your link not sure if the same i could find no link myself for le Brisoule
that is how i read it from the letter

Checked the marriage cert again could be Wilfred st Moston the writing not clear
