What peaked my interest was the Trigauville Graville l'Heure death as I am trying to locate where the district was in 1845.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graville

Graville became Graville -L'heure during the revolution and in 1831 became 1commune with 2 , Graville and l'Heure), in 1852 L'Heure was joined to Le Havre and Graville joined to Le Havre in 1919.

Graville is now a district of Le Havre .
Trigauville may have been on old village near Le Havre , there is only a street called Rue de Trigauville in Le Havre , could be where was Trigauville. Trigauville may be found on the Cassini map 
Added( I found Graville , not Trigauville)

1845 Graville L'Heure records have commune district of before each of these - Trigauville Rue Hilaire  Colombel, Trigauville Rue de Normandie, Trigauville Rue Ferdinand, Trigauville Rue Helene, Trigauville Rue Dugay Trouin, Trigauville Rue Catinat, There are others I can't quite make out too (one looks like Rue Sainte Marie). Rue Hilaire Colombel, Rue Helene and Rue Duguay Trouin in L'Havre are not far from each other and not far from Torneville and rue de Trigauville.

I am sure there were entries for Commune district of Tourneville rue de Normandie too.

Very Strange, Wayne! They work for me in the UK. Are you outside Europe? I have noticed that I have to use a VPN for certain French websites now as they are trying to reduce attacks from abroad.
