Hello Bonny.
I should be able to translate the French ok from what I can see, but I could really do with a higher resolution scan! Is that possible or are those images all that you have?

4 certificates is a big ask but I am sure you will find willing volunteers, Bonny jean, as rootschat is full  of helpful and knowledgeable people; you'll find it is always well received if the original post says 'please'.

Yes I understand, I wasn't sure if I should put 1 or 4 on, and have always been so grateful to the people on here, as they have help me in the past, I'm not in the best of health at the moment so please forgive my ignorance, so yes please if anyone can help and have some free time on their hands.

I was interested in the second document because it seemed to be a birth registration but had the stamp "decedee.  " On side which means deceased .
So wonder if Jules Marie Leroy didn't survive infancy

b.10 am 1864 Nov 20th

Father Joseph Leroy aged 37 carpenter mother his wife  Mrs Marie rose massee

But for some reason the house owner is listed first.  some kind of civil servant??

Sorry I didn't attempt a full  translation.b it can pick out the details if you want
*Just read the last one which is this child's death

The first is the death of father Joseph in 1868 only a few years after birth of the other son eugene louis
