Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 37 Send Message	I wonder if anyone can help? I am trying to find the date of marriage of my great x 3 grandfatherJean-Louis (John Lewis) Gabriel Charles Meyer (born c1800 (France)) who married a Rose Barroux, presumably some time before their first child Alphonsine Violette was born in 1831 in Edinburgh (all info obtained via IGI). I am guessing the marriage would have been in Edinburgh. Jean-Louis Gabriel Charles Meyer was, until recently, thought to be just plain old Charles Meyer. I am also trying to find the date of marriage of Jean-Louis' second child, my great x 2 grandfather, Charles Theodore Hippolyte Meyer (super name!) born 26 Mar 1833 Edinburgh who married an Irish woman Ellen born c1826 (according to the 1871 census). Presumably they married before the birth of their first child Charles G Meyer, in Knaresborough/ Harrogate Yorkshire in 1860. Any help or pointers gratefully received. I have scoured all the websites as much as I can but don't have a subscription to Ancestry and BMD and pay-to-view is proving very expensive when I don't know precise dates. Very many thanks in anticipation.
