My great-grandparents lived in Hanover. My ggfather is said to have lived in
Mayenne,I am not sure this is the correct spelling.Myggmother lived in Mainz.
Is either of these towns or cities included in any of these census records?
They were married in Frankfort-a-Main in 1853 and emigrated soon after. Any help
will be appreciated,
Thank you

Hi,
1797 - 1814 (at the time of Napoleon) Mainz was a part of France and its name in French was Mayence.
There is also a town Mayen stuated about 80 km north-west of Mainz and 25 km west of Koblenz. Under Napoleon it was also french.
Both are situated far from Hannover, but Frankfurt am Main is only about 30 km north-east of Mainz.
Greetings from Mainz
