Wilhelmina Coralie Versigny FFMM

[Sue at the seaside]

Still no luck with the 1851, but after you lot looking as well I think it's worth giving up on that for a few more years!

But her mother............ why did Wilhelmina sign herself as Versigny De Vere on one occasion????? Could that be the clue????

So that doc is the same date as the other one found previously that didn't give Monsieur Versigny's first name.

Yes Merry, 12th Oct 1849. When I looked on Ancestry yesterday there seems to be 2 entries now, but as I don't have worldwide I can't check them out. But I think that's them. one as M. Versigny and the other Napoleon Versigny.
My new contact found this thread via Google, and lives in the same county as us! small world.

Welcome to the site Lorna, Haven't worked out what sort of cousins we are, but we are of some sort!

That last post will take a bit of getting my head around! perhaps I'll leave that bit to you.

EDIT
Just tried to calculate our relationship, think we are 3rd cousins!

Hi Lorna, Welcome. Many thanks for that information re using the French site. All that information could come in very handy in the future. Julie (also for the sticks)

[HarrysMum]

Hello Lorna.. Welcome to GF.

Thanks for that info. I have someone who married in Paris in 1848 but we've never found her death. Unfortunately, I have been busy in the garden all day and out tonight, so my brain isn't great.

Maybe Julie can work it out for me....lol

[Mary from Italy]

Libby, it looks as this site only covers the Oise district, not the Paris district.
