The tradition tells us that this horse trader went up to Paris (accompanied by Robert Gervais's grandfather, his little daughter's future son-in-law Eugénie Weill) with a group of horses for slaughter and settled there. He was said to have been mayor of Vanves. 

Charles Weill had married on 19 January 1825 in Strasbourg Julie Le Vaillant, born in Hegenheim (High Rhine, near Basel) 16 May 1780, of a Jewish family of horse traders, whose parents and grandparents are in civilian status:
            his father  Samuel LEVAILLANT, born in 1847, died on 9 May 1817 (page 442) Hegenheim.
            her mother  Marie-Anne SEE, born in 1744, died on 14 October 1819 (page 442) Hegenheim.

They had 6 (or 8) children (born before 1825 and legitimized) whose descendants became Catholics or Protestants by marriage. Charles Weill junior (page 45), Born in 1815 in Bischem, who was a binder, tutor, and grandfather of my grandmother Nanny.
Charles Weill senior moved to Malakoff, where he had a house built at 35 rue de la Tour, which still exists partially (information from Claudine Collard).

The centenary would have opened the ball of her first little girl's wedding Eugénie Weill Around 1866, with Jules Bastien. 
He died after a simple fall of a window on the ground floor of his house in Malakoff. According to another version, he was thrown down by a thug of the time, who would have allowed himself to give too much compliment to his little daughter Adeline Weill (page 455) He was walking around and threatened with his cane...After this accident, he was reportedly transported to a health home in Faubourg Saint-Denis (Hôpital Henri Vidal).

His death record is missing, but we're sure he lived a hundred years.
