Possible marriage: In 1809 Francois LAURENT (not Laurin, but pretty close) married Marie Henriette CHOURIN. Francois's father was Francois Laurent and his mother was Ursula SERY. Marriage 3 June 1809. I cannot find the corresponding information for the bride's parents! (Ancestry.com). Barbara Zimmer > when I get time and see if Alfred is lurking there. I > was unsure whether CHOIRON was her surname or first name. In France > it's more normal to have married women enumerated under their maiden > name >> >> I found another CHOIRON in the 1851 census -- a 75 year old woman, who was also born in France (no first name given).. She was the grandmother of the head of the family, Alfred LAURIN. Alfred and his immediate family were all born in France, and were employed in "dining rooms" . The family grouping includes a number of other individuals who are waiters, many of them also from France. They lived at 51 Gracechurch in St Benet Gracechurch (civil parish) in London. >> >> >> Alfred Laurin 36 >> Cecile Laurin 34 >> Cecile Laurin 19 >> Chourin Choirin 75 >
