Vayce

Overview

The «baronne de Vayce» of a single page of February 1882. The Mon Journal t.14 index has «Vayce (baronne de) : 288» on the same page as «Wykerslooth (baron de)» and «Wykerslooth (Mme Jeanne, baronne de)». The spelling is probably Marie's or the edition's version of a name we cannot match.

Relevance to Marie

On 14 February 1882, at a musical evening given by Jeanne, the separated wife of the baron de Wykerslooth (see BARONNE_DE_WYKERSLOOTH, WYKERSLOOTH), Marie recounts the quarrel of the spouses: «Lorsqu'on a plaidé la baronne de Vayce a déposé contre son propre frère» (094.0262). So she is a baroness who testified in the Wykerslooth separation case against her own brother. The Mon Journal index keeps her as a separate person.

Identity uncertain

We do not know who she is: she may be a relative (sister-in-law or mother) of the Wykersloots or of Jeanne's family (Jeanne is née de Ballore), whose name Marie spells differently, or a witness. If you can identify her, we would be glad to hear from you.
