For my husbands cousin. Pierre Maurice Courtiade married Yvanna Hoareau in Mauritius early 1900's. We know that Yvann's parents were Paul Hoareau and Louisa Simpson, but we do not have names of Pierre Maurice's parents. Can anyone out there access married registers in Mauritius or La Reunion? (Paul H was born in La Reunion). Have asked the same question on other community sites but have got nowhere so far :-(

This says La Reunion records are scheduled to be on
FamilySearch - but the article's dated 2012, and it doesn't say when it's likely to happen.

I don't know if you've seen this or not - or maybe even contributed to it? I haven't trawled through it, so don't know if there's anything relevant to your family:
