Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: baptism record in French
« on: Tuesday 12 April 11 19:35 BST (UK)  »
Hello. I cannot read the word, but Ditte is a family name in France. Could the mystery word be the woman's profession? People weren't very worried about spelling, accents, or using capitals in the 18th century. Further down I read the godmother was Marie Catherine Antoinette Ditte, "cousine issue de germain de l'enfant" ("cousin being the daughter of the child's first cousin").
I wish I could help more. Maybe I've got it all wrong ???
Regards from Vicarof.

Hello Parkham. I am Gertrude Shepherd's niece, her younger sister's daughter. I was always told that Gertrude was a G.I. bride and that she left for the States with her husband soon after their wedding. She divorced twice and was married 3 times. With her 3rd husband, John Bently, she had 2 sons, Laurence and Raymond. They lived on 12th Street in Santa Monica. She was a very good seamstress and did beautiful embroidery. After WWII she had a little shop where she did special embroidery for the stars, unique models. She died suddenly of a stroke in 1962. I hope you are well and that I will hear from you. Best regards from Vicarof.

I would like Parkham to know I can give her information about George Shepherd's first wife and family. He was my maternal grandfather.
So, hoping to hear from her.

Regards from Vicarof.
