I have been given an index snippet from etatGenappe that the National Register shows a Ms Maria Philippart  living in Pont a Celles in 1931 before moving to Nivelles but would have to ask Pont a Celles for further info. I have been in touch with etat Pont a Celles but they want a fee prior to a search. Before I go a head can I ask would the National Register give address and who she was living with at the time.

That is great, many thanks.

Thank you.

Following on with this marriage for Maria Rachel Anais Philippart & Henri Georges Laurent Marie Ghislain Libert. EtatCivil Nivelles & Brussels have confirmed that they have no record of a marriage between these two people…so I’m back to the drawing board!!!!

Henri Libert’s death certificate does give Maria Philippart as spouse so I assume they did marry? A question I have is that Maria Philippart was born Legrand as her parents were not married at the time of birth, but her certificate does have a note showing that her father Desire Philippart legitimised her as his daughter. Therefore could it be possible she married under the name Legrand?

If I could find there daughter Monique’s birth it may possibly give a better idea of the marriage date.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
