What place of birth is given on the 1881?

Who did she marry? The name sounds more Italian to me?

Is that her first name or surname? If her first name, what is her surname?

When/where was the marriage?

At the moment nothing is coming up with that as either a first name or surname on freebmd?

Hello Ann
Thanks for info. She appears on 1881 census. i have also sent off for wedding cert 1878 which may give me more info. no i dont know where she was born. family story is she ran away from parents in Paris. father was dentist. but how true all this is i dont know. i have been told that Gazzjena's daughter spoke fluent french. im asking older members of family that are left but surviving person is in 90's. Thanks again if you can think of anything else i would be pleased to hear from you.

Regards
Margaret

Margaret

To find birth record for someone born in France, you would need to know where she was born, as records are held locally, rather than nationally. Did this person come to England? Have you found her on a census?

trying to find Gazzjena or spelt Garrjena or Gazajned. born about 1854. Story goes she might have been born in France. Does any know of this woman or if not does anyone know if i can access french records.
