If the wedding announcement in the newspaper was in the past tense, then the wedding most likely took place. That is, if the article is written as 'The bride wore...' and 'So-and-So was the best man', then this indicates that the event had already happened.
On the other hand, I have seen wedding announcements that begin 'The marriage of Sarah B. and Joseph M. will be solemnized this evening' which indicates that the event hadn't happened yet, perhaps because the article was published in a morning edition of a paper.
Back in those days, the woman would have taken the man's surname, so if she several years later was buried under her maiden name, what I suspect is that the couple divorced, probably fairly soon after the wedding, and so the woman went back to using her maiden surname.
You can also follow what happened to the man over the years, to see if he re-married and when. If he re-married before her death, then they must have gotten divorced. Sometimes, if you can obtain a marriage license for the man, it will state if he had been previously married (at least some US licenses show this). Checking to see if the man had children and when, is another way to figure what his marital history was.

You need to look for the

- marriage record of Alexandrina Palmire Henri/Henry. It should contain her place and date of birth.

- birth record of Alexandrina Palmire Henri/Henry at her place of birth.

- marriage record of Charlotte and Content Joseph Henri. It should contain their places and dates of birth.

- birth record of Charlotte Polain at her place of birth

- birth record of Content Joseph Henri at his place of birth

- marriage record of Alexandre Polain who married Charlotte?

 

All this records should be online for free on the websites of the relevant archives départementales.

If you don't know the places of birth or marriage you could look at geneaet or filae, but for filae you need to pay.

Hi all,

I've encountered some birth records that were registered years after
the birth had actually happened. Was it not mandatory to register a
birth? Did it cost money to do it? Why not register it in the first
place? and then why suddenly decide to register a few years later?

Many thanks and happy Pesach!

Hi,

I am hoping somebody out there near an LDS library can obtain a marriage record for, Hans Willig, born 25 Apr 1903, Wien, Austria and, Wanda Pilewski, born 11 Feb 1903, Lviv, Poland.  They were living in Wien (Vienna) in the 1920's and married there on, 18 Aug 1927.  My father always said she was some sort of 'cousin' and I am trying to tie her to my paternal grandmother's family, as that's where the tie was said to be, but I need more information.  I am hoping this record will shed a little more light for me.  
Thank you,

A marriage announcement in The NY Spectator in 1829:

Married on Wednesday 4th Feb., by The Rev. Phenix HART,  Mr, Joshua D. NORDEN, of this city, to MIss Catharine, eldest daughter of Henry Lazarus, of Charleston, S.C.

Also Dec. 2, 1830, The NY Evening Post, Joshua D. NORDEN's name is included in a list of names of people having letters waiting for them at the post office.

Hope this helps,

In my research I've found that my maternal GM was born in Pruzani, Russia (now Belarus) on November 17, 1883. Part of my problem I believe, is that there are various spellings to her last name, so many variations in fact, my mom always told us kids that she never really did know her maiden name !
I have searched under her name Eida (IDA), as well as her siblings names in Russia and Belarus, and I've hit a roadblock. I know from some old letters I have that she had a sister Chava ( Chavah/Havah) and a brother Joseph ( Josef), but I'm still unable to come up with anything. Once I figure out how to scan some of the letters I have, that are written in Yiddish, that may help, but in the meantime, does anyone know what else I can do to find more information on my GM ?

Thanks to all and Happy Passover

I've posted a  record in Yiddish for which I need a translation.
My great grandmother, Tauba Marmur, immigrated from Talne, Ukraine to the US in 1913.. Among her possessions we found a family photo with a Yiddish inscription.

Seeking information on Hyman David Wolk (Moshe Tsodik) who lived in or near Petkunai, Lithuania approx. 1840 - 1900.  Husband of Leba (or Lillian) Bresky Wolk and father of six children.  To the best of my knowledge the family surname was Wolk and not 'Volk".  Search of databases has turned up almost nothing.  Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Laurie,
the introductory part is in Hungarian, but the contract itself is in German, old German handwriting.

I am looking forward a copy of a list of names from the Jonava Necrology Database published in Tel-Aviv in 1972.  Looking for the surname Sinko, Shinke and any variations in spellings, along with Chosid / Khosid, Wender / Vender, Iudelovich and Beten.

Many thanks indeed Barbara. Interestingly Meyer Mansfield's wife was born Lazarus - not an unusual name of course. I'll certainly follow up.  I looked at the Center for Jewish History's website and was not surprised that it is closed.  May be that is simply to physical visitors.  I shall certainly try writing to both.
