André Danhier married Anne Jeanne Carlier in 1730 in Ciply Mons, Belgium.
He had been previously married to Catherine Theresa Druart in 1726 at Ghlin, Mons,
where both bride and groom are said to be 25 years old.
He is godfather to André Joseph, the son of Arnould Danhier in 1735 at Hyon, Mons.
(He is given as “ a married man living in Ghlin”, and his signature exactly matches
that on his marriage record in 1726.)
There are several other records of Danhier marriages and baptisms, from which I have gleaned that an Anthoine Danhier with wife Jeanne Durant, had these following children, the last three, (with dates), are in the Ghlin registers.
André; Jacques Joseph; Arnould; Marie Catherine; Therese, (1711); Catherine Joseph, (1714) and Jean Baptiste, (1717).
Anthoine Danhier married Jeanne Durant 2nd May 1701 at Taisniers sur Hon, France Nord, about 10 miles south of Ghlin, over the what is now French/Belgium border.
It seems plausible to me that their earlier children may well have been born whilst they were still in Taisniers sur Hon, before they moved to Ghlin.
(I have the baptism of Anthoine Danhier in 1671 at Taisniers sun Hon).
However, there is a gap in the Taisniers sur Hon registers between 1700 and 1710.
Of course just the years when these children would have been born.
I understand there was a system in France similar to the English system of Bishop’s Transcripts, where copies of the registers were made and, in the English system, sent to the pertinent bishop’s office.
I know from searching the Montreuil Sur Mer records that sometimes there are more than one film for a particular church, which, although not indexed as such, have turned out to be copies.
I can’t find on the France Nord archives en ligne site any films which may be the copies.
Does anybody know how to access these records?
Of course it may be that the records for those 10 years I am particularly interested in just don’t exist in any form. Perhaps there was no priest there at that time, or some other reason why there are no remaining records for those years.
Thanks for any insights.
