 :o I've been trying to find this information for a good five years and you guys have found it in less than 12 hours. You have no idea how amazed I am at this. Thank you so much!
It seems I have a lot more searching to do but now I have somewhere to start! Merci beaucoup!  ;D

Europe / Fournet family in Évran, Brittany
« on: Thursday 08 August 13 11:54 BST (UK)  »
I've reached a giant brick wall with regards to my great-grandmother and I was wondering if anybody could help me. Her name was Virginie Marie Joseph Fournet. She died in 1918 at the age of 28 and her death certificate says she was originally from Évran but I can't find records of anyone by that name either living in that area or travelling to the UK. The only things I know for sure is that she was in Cheshire in February 1917 (my grandmother was born there and put up for adoption) and that she died in Cleethorpes in October 1918 and is buried there.
I know there was a sister or an aunt of Virginie's living in the 1960s, I think somewhere in the Loire.
If this ties into anyone else's family or anyone knows how to find any helpful records, I'll be very grateful.

Thanks everyone, I don't know why I didn't think of certificates before. I've ordered them for different people over the years, my mind must have just blanked on it this time!

Denbighshire / Re: Help in finding birth details of grandfather

Alright, I'm adding to my earlier post as everyone's being far more helpful than I was  :D
Going purely on censuses, I found a Hugh (1872) and William (1874) living with their parents John and Ellen/Elinor on the 1881 census in Llangwm. The corresponding later censuses suggest that John, a farmer of 10 acres and sheep dealer, died sometime between 1885 and 1891.
The older children all seem to have been registered in Llanrwst, hence my earlier suggestion that William Owen was registered there in Sept 1874

Denbighshire Lookup Requests / George Richards, Ruabon
« on: Thursday 25 July 13 14:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, I was wondering if somebody could help me.
My 2nd great grandfather was George Richards born in 1850 in Ruabon. On the 1851 census, I have his mother as Elizabeth but she's widowed and I can't trace the family further back than that. Research has led me to believe her husband was possibly William Richards, born 1800, died 1850. Could anybody confirm this for me?
I know they had six children, of which George was the youngest.
Elizabeth's occupation is given as Publican, and in later censuses she and her second husband John Roberts are running the Eagles in Acrefair, so I wonder if she and William ran it first.
Any help appreciated

Hi Barb,
Was one of the birth certs you got for William Owen Williams Sept 1874 Llanrwst? If not, I may have found something
