Again from the Rodiere manuscripts of Montreuil sur Mer marriages.

1589 Jacqueline Fallempin, who had previously been married to Martin Morieul, married Hugh Vivier.

Several of these early contracts give a list of what items are brought to the marriage.
This one is interesting as it mentions her clothes, (presumably just some of her clothes - those worth any value).
Interestingly it doesn't mention what the groom is going to bring to the marriage.

I would be grateful for any corrections of words, or mis-interpretations of the text.
Thank you.


The said Jaqueline gives to her future husband various effects:,
amongst which: a short, black, fitted robe of velvet with a
crimson mantle; total value of the ensemble 8 ecus; a black woollen
garderobe; a gorgias with a satin collar and
a satin sleeved corset, value 3 ecus; a key hanger with an apple; all in
money value of 8 ecus.; - the which
effects she has declared to belong to him the moiety of her ?
and the other moiety  from the ? of the deceased Moriel
which she bought when the sale was made by command of the
justice ?   ecus that she has to pay to her and the deceased Moriel’s children



How would you translate ‘chef’ in this instance?

Evidently a ‘gorgias’ was a short cape like garment which covered the shoulders and neck.

What’s a ‘key holder with an apple’?!

I have, very excitedly, received an entry for an ancestor in the books of the Hotel des Invalides in Paris.
This clip gives further information about him after his initial admission in 1691.

It's the middle bit I'm interested in.

On the Hotel des Invalides site it is transcribed as 'et le 14e septembre 1713 Il est de retour du service'

The English translation comes out as 'and on Septemeber 14th 1713 he returned from the service'.

Would French speakers agree with this?
And what does it actually mean?

From other information I have about him. I would be more likely to think he retired from the service  about that date. He certainly went to Montreuil sur Mer, (where he died in 1731 as the next entry says), presumably to the citadel there, where there seem to be many 'invalid' soldiers from time to time, as well as detachments of troops.
One of his daughters married in Montreuil sur Mer in Feb 1714, do they must have been in the town for a little time before that. That's the first date I can find any mention of the family in the town.

Any ideas?
Many thanks

Some time ago last year, several kind people helped me with the start of this marriage contract -

I'm now getting round to finishing some of these contracts off, and would appreciate some help with the last part of this one.

1637 Marriage of Charles D’aire and Jehanne Senlecque

I’ve got the transcription, and translation, of the beginning of this marriage contract from the Rodiere manuscripts, but this part at the end is giving some information about what they are bringing to the marriage.
I suspect it will give some interesting information.
It seems to mention something about France and Spain at the end just before all the names of those who would have signed or made their marks -
Philipe Senlecque; Daire: marque de ladite Jehanne Senlecque, marque de ladite Fournier; Hedoul: Louis Hedoul.

Rodiere used a lot of abbreviations in these transcriptions, and this is going beyond simple birth, marriage or death entries in parish registers which I can just about make out.
Any insight appreciated!
Thank you very much.

I'd be grateful for any corrections and additions to my attempt at this burial from the Fieulaine, northern France, register.
