Good evening, does anybody know how I would go about finding out if a marriage took place in France between 1876 and 1886?
Do they have a site like ours? I am looking for a marriage between George Osbaldeston Duncan and Mary Ann Brett Hedington, that possibly took place in Paris France.

Were they both British citizens? If so you may find them on the overseas indexes held by find my past.

There are no online indexes for France. All events are lodged with the Mayors office in the relevant departement

If you go to http://genealogy.about.com/od/france/a/french_ancestry.htm

you'll find an article to help.

Good luck!
