Have you tried a search on this site to see if anyone else is looking for the family

Does anyone have a person with the surname Vollant on their tree ?

-Unfortunately Not given Vollant as middle name on birth so very difficult to find marriages under Smith surname

Hi Ron,

Nice to see you have arrived!

Remilly-Wirquin is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France.
Remilly-Wirquin lies about 8 miles (13 km) southwest of Saint-Omer, on the D192 road, by the banks of the river Aa.

Quite a small place:

Population history 1962 1968 1975 1982 1990 1999 2006
198 215 234 283 327 315 348
Census count starting from 1962: Population without duplicates

Does anyone have any knowledge on this region please for Ron?

P.S. - Sorry, I have edited several times but I can't get the population numbers to line up under the population years - please 'imagine it moved along to fit for yourselves' xx

Thanks , Michael for the info on Vollant-Smiths in UK - especially the Marriage details of Bert Smith - will follow that up .
Special thanks to Dea for the help in sorting out our mistakes !
We have actually travelled to Remilly Wirquin in France late last year and have had quite a lot of success finding our Vollant relatives in Pas de Calais . Hopefully we will make another trip there this summer .
Thanks for the assistance .

Ron and Lisa
