Title: Birth/Baptism of person born in Paris, France
Post by: Westy11 on Thursday 05 March 20 03:30 GMT (UK)

Amy Blanche Caroline MORRIS daughter of John Armine MORRIS & Catherine Ann MACDONALD was born about 1866 in Parish, France.

I am hoping for assistance to locate Amy's birth/baptism as I have no idea how to progress the research.

There are 52 tree's on Ancestry for her, one may have details.  Also her father appears as Sir John Armine Morris on Geni.

3rd Baronet=  His grandfather was the 1st, his father the 2nd and he is the 3rd;  a son would be 4th and so on.

The birth is in the consular births index so you can apply to the GRO for an overseas certificate:

Thanks Shaun J.

Are you aware of any subscriptions other than the GRO that would have French documents?

For French records I think it would be a question of finding her name in the decennial tables - there is one for each arrondissement and there are 20 of those - then finding the appropriate digitised register in the archives

I searched in the tables , found nothing .
NB :A birth registered at the british consulate is not a french record, it is a british record.

Thanks so much Joger.

Much appreciated.

It seems I will have to expend additional funds but nonetheless it will be funds well spent.
