From Jules Joseph Fleury   23 July 1869

London,

July 23rd 1869.

Sir,

A man of the name of Edward Darwin, married, in 1823, a french woman called Orricette Parfaite Adèle Boucher, or Bouché, de Forges.1

Should you be a relation of M. Edward Darwin, you may perhaps inform me ⁠⟨⁠    ⁠⟩⁠ when the marriage ceremony took place.

I will feel obliged if you can give me an answer at your earliest convenience.

I remain, | Sir, | Your’s truly | The Consul General for France | Fleury

Mr. Darwin | Down   Bromley

CD’s half uncle, Edward Darwin, was never married (Freeman 1978). Orricette Parfaite Adèle Boucher has not been further identified.
