That's very interesting - thanks very much for your help.I had seen some reference to the Sunderland branch before but cannot find any connection to them.His first names were Henri Louis and he was a private in the army.I've got the feeling he didn't anglacise his name as my grandmother's maiden name was spelled the French way.As he only had daughters there is no one with the name in our branch now.I do know that his father was also Henri and that they were both jockeys.I think the main problem is not knowing the place of birth other than 'France' - am I right in thinking that there are no centralised records in France?On his marriage certificate his witness had the same surname as him - her first name was 'Berthe' but I can't find any reference to her anywhere.I will start off by having a good look through those links that you sent me...
