Marie Mathilde Laurence Leveyer de Belair was my great-great-great grandmother. She was born 1808 in Port Louis, near L'Orient, in France. She married Horatio Thomas LLOYD of Tipperary, Ireland, in 1828. I wonder how they met? - him being Irish and she French. I have a copy of their marriage certificate so if anyone would like a copy just let me know. It is a 3 page, A3 size document written in French.
Matilda, as she was known, lived her married life in Tipperary having three children - Horatio Albin, Matilda Corrine and Phoebe Lucille Estelle Alice.
She died in 1879 aged 71. Her death certificate says she was a "gentleman's widow".
Her dad Albin Leveyer de Belair was an admiral in the French navy.
Line of descent: me - mum - Ernest - Janet - Phoebe - Marie (Matilda) & Horatio Lloyd
