Sorry Bev we are having a problem but do not know how to fix it currently.

I am a living descendant of William Evans through Thomas Evans, brother of John Camwy. William and his wife Elizabeth Davies emigrated to Argentine Patagonia in 1875, more precisely settling in Bryn Gwyn, near Gaiman, Chubut, where the Welsh colony was formed. There they built their house, Maes yr Haf. They had 10 children, including my grandfather, Thomas Evans.

Hello,

I'm interested in May Osborn because she married Adolphe Henri Edouard Fortin, who is a relative of mine. She was 17 and he was 19.

They married on February 5, 1896, in Samer, France. They had two children:
Léa Aimée Julie Fortin, born in Samer on April 22, 1896
Adolphe Edouard Félicien Fortin, born in Samer on June 9, 1897

They divorced on April 20, 1901.
"The judgment rendered at the Civil Court of Boulogne-sur-Mer in its public hearing on January 18 (...) grants the divorce in favor of the wife and against the husband. (...) prohibits the husband from visiting or frequenting his wife in the future for any reason and under any pretext whatsoever, subject to immediate expulsion by all legal means."
May had custody of the two children: Léa, 5, and Adolphe, 4. I have no further information about the children.

May is believed to have died on August 11, 1945, in Hampstead (Middlesex, England).

Adolphe FORTIN (father) remarried 11 years later, still in Samer, on December 2, 1912, to Osithe Marie Joséphine BALLY, widow of Louis PRUVOST.
Adolphe and Osithe had three children: Odette in 1913, Edouard in 1915, and Eugène in 1917.

Adolphe FORTIN died in Samer in 1934.

I see that there is some doubt about the paternity of William Osborn, who is declared her father and gave his consent at May's marriage. May is believed to be the daughter of Joseph Alexander McMaster.

This is the information I can give you. French documents are easily available online. I can help you obtain them if you wish.

Have a nice day.

I hope you read this message one day.
