: ah, hmmm, and yet it says "femme-major",,,so maybe a typo? This is a birth certificate, so quite plausible. I have only come across "femme-majeure" when translating marriage certs.

: Or head midwife. When my husband was a Fr med student in the 70/80s, Major is what was used for Infirmière en chef. Surely the same for midwives.

Comment: "Thanks. In the end I used Staff Midwife, although it sounds like Senior Midwife might have also been correct."

I don't think it has anything to do with a typo for "majeur".
