Francois Marcellin Alcouffe was "full age" when he married in 1912, so he was born in or before 1891 (assuming he wasn't lying about his age.)
Okay, I've gone through the naissances (births) for all 20 Paris arrondissements for the period 1883-1892 and only found three Alcouffes: Louise Pauline Eugenie 23 Jul 1892 11th arrondissement, daughter of Jean and Marie; Jeanne Marie 7 Aug 1884 13th arrondissement, daughter of Jean Louis and Marie Rose; Laurent Firmin(?) 18 Sep 1885 13th arrondissement, same parents as for Jeanne Marie.
(The way I did it was to search the naissances tables decennales 1883-1892 for Alcouffe for each arrondissement in turn. When I found an Alcouffe entry, I noted down the date of birth and the arrondissement, then searched the tables alphabetiques for that year and arrondissement to get the registration number, then searched the actes d'etats civils for that number.)
So maybe he was born before 1883, or somewhere near Paris rather than in Paris itself?
