Births in Eekloo Belgium

[whittenbury]

Hi, I wonder if someone could help me look up a birth of Charles Baptise Lippens. Born 4 July 1880/1
in Eekloo. On his papers in the US it states his parents as Francis Lippens & Rosalee Doohe.
The reason I am interested in him is that  my G Grandmother was born 12 Feb 1876 in Eeklo, daughter of Karel Francis Lippens & Rosalie D'hooge. It just seems a coincidence of names of parents & could be a sibling of her?.
Many thanks if you can help

took a long time - but I found this Karel Francies Lippens b 24th April 1840 - married Rosalia D'Hooge  AND in 1887 - 16th February to Leonie Marie Martin

father Bernard Lippens b 1813 Eekloo - and mother was Marie Louise Flocquin who died 1874

hope it helps 

for what it is worth - it certainly looks like Charles and your gr grandmother had the same parents to me

thank you for that, the only thing I dont understand from that tree, would be my Maria Valerie Lippens birth Registered at Eeklo on 16th June 1877 by

Karel Francies Lippens, aged 37, born in Oostwinkel and living in Eeklo,

Declared the birth of a child, a female, born at home yesterday at 12 at night,

Born to him and his wife, Rosalie D'hooge, aged 35, born and living in Eeklo,

To whom they have given the name Maria Valerie.
But on the tree that you showed they had another daughter Marie Louise Lippens born 1887? surley they would not have 2 girls named the same?

Hi, I just put on the thread above

I believe that “Charles” real name was Louis Baptiste LIPPENS. His birth cert (#171) starts here and continues on the next page: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9B27-KLH?i=50

BTW There were many other children. e.g. here is the family in the 1880-1890 population register for Eeklo: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSYT-W2VM?i=332 and also in the 1890-1900 register: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSYY-SQK4-B?i=236


FYI I have a Belgium family who had 3 daughters who had Maria as a first name (second names varied) .. and yes, all 3 were alive at the same time (the joy of being Catholic?)

WOW! Thank you so much for that, I cant read the birth certificate But the 2x census type documents are fantastic Do you know what is says or refers to in the right hand columns?
Kindest Regards & thank you

Yes I agree that those BMD documents are rather hard to read .../

FYI You might want to have a look at the following population registers as well:

In the 1856-1865 Population registers for Eeklo, Karel Francies LIPPENS arrives from Zomerg(h)em in 1863: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSYT-69BT-9?i=554
(Of course Karel Francies gets married in Eeklo in1864: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:2:77TL-F9HS?i=241)

And in the1856-1865 Population registers for Zomergem, “Francies” can be found with parents and siblings: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLL-4SJL-T?i=671 – it mentions that he leaves for Eeklo in 1863
(NB: the parents are the same as on his Oostwinkel BC: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939V-ZW93-JS?i=473&cc=2138513)

Do you know what is says or refers to in the right hand columns?
