Translation of French marriage contract, 1685

[MacGrigor]

Hello,

The contract is here, between Joseph de la Hache and Anne de Haussey: https://en.geneanet.org/archives/registres/view/8817/39?idcollection=8817&legacy_script=%2Farchives%2Fregistres%2Fview%2Findex.php&page=39

I know the family members, which are mentioned in the little annotations, but was wondering what the rest says. It’s just weeks after the Edict of Fontainebleau, and a number of Geneanet sources say Anne came from a Protestant family, so I’m wondering if that might be mentioned anywhere.

If anyone could please help me, it’d be greatly appreciated. Regrettably, the old writing, especially in another language, is difficult for me; I can read later documents quite clearly.

I don't see anything about the RPR ( Religion prétendue réformée), this is a "traité de mariage = marriage contract , signed before the marriage that  should take place in a church (ste eglise catholique et apostololique).
Where on geneanet did you find a mention of protestantism?

[MacGrigor]

From a book from 2017 that lists two of her father’s first cousins, Gedeon and Jacques de Haussey, formally renouncing Calvinism by signing some sort of register. I’ve not found the actual marriage of Joseph and Anne; all there seems to be is the marriage contract, and then their son Isaac was born in 1687.

Having protestant cousins does not mean you are a protestant . In those days fathers and sons, brothers , sisters etc... may not have the same religion.

it seems she abjured to be able to marry Joseph.

Anne's marriage is to be found after this date.

Missing registers after 1686 until 1721

That’s the cousins I’m afraid. ‘My’ Anne was the daughter of Jean de Haussey (according to the marriage contract); that one is the daughter of Jacques de Haussey and aged about 13 when she signed the register.
