I discovered some time ago that my great grandmother was french. Unfortunately I have no detail of where or what region in France which makes the task doubly hard. I have searched the ancestry site and others but cannot find anything that helps. Can anyone suggest any other site? She came to live in Ireland as a child, then married in 1883 and went on to have 10 children, one of which was my grandmother. Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks, Mandy |

I was interested by this question, as I have been given to believe that my grandfather fathered a daughter in France while serving in WW1. Not having a name ( I don't imagine she would have been given his surname anyway). I have no way of searching any records, but I had wondered if there any forums like this one, in France, where perhaps someone descended from her might also be trying to find her parentage. Might help Mandy too. |

Thanks everyone for your replies - I am quite amazed at the response. That's very interesting about Elizabeth Delmer marrying a Daniel Duggan recorded on the same page as Lucy and Martin. I'll certainly have a look into this. Many thanks, Mandy. |

There's something strange about that marriage found by Gins, the image appears to have been altered at a later date - names changed in blue pen and the marriage date inserted in the same pen. Also the date says 13th - a modern version of the date, whereas all the other dates say xx die. |

When I went back to look at the entry that Gins mentioned I then noticed as you say that the entry had been edited which is very strange. The original names on the entry have the same surname for both as well - how odd!! Can anyone read the place where Martin's parents reside? Looks something like Dunoy?? Lucy's parents just have what looks like 2 @ France above their names. Does this just mean both living in France? Lucy left France when she was 7 so I had assumed that she travelled with parents and ended up living in Ireland. I know according to the marriage certificate (1883) that Lucy's father, Joseph was already deceased. |
