CARLIER X PLANTE (ou THOMSON), Dunkerque Options

[bhowell]

Hello,

I have been searching for a few months now and I desperately need some help. I told my aunt I would find out who her great, great grandparents were and I just keep coming up with dead ends. As she is nearing 102 in June, I want to get this info for her as soon as I can.

The info I do have (from a family member) is this:

Henry Emile Carlier (1817-1875) Born in Belgium and buried in Dunkirk, France.
He married Louise Renee Plante (1821-1878) in 1838 in Belgium. She too born in Belgium and buried in Dunkirk, Fr. They had three children:

1) George Emile Carlier - (1839-1852) died when he was 13.
2) Dr. Arthur Emile Carlier (1841-1880) studied at University of Paris and became a surgeon. Came to US in late 1860's. He married Ida Mae (Close) Carlier and lived in Ohio. He traveled around northern Ohio into Pennsylvania practicing medicine. It was said that he would work at a cheese factory from time to time when he was low on funds and used that for medical supplies. He was called to Toledo, OH for at a consultation when he had a stroke and died. He was buried in Toledo.
3) Emily Louise Carlier - (1843-1874) no other info for her.

Arthur had three children, George Emile, Sr. was one of them and he was my grandfather. His son was George Emile Carlier, Jr., my dad.

The biggest problem is that I don't know what region in Belgium they were from and I don't know where to begin looking. Any suggestions regarding where I might go for information, would be greatly appreciated. Since I am on a very limited income, I cannot pay to join the various websites. Other spellings might be Carlior, Charlier, Carler,

Thank you so much for any suggestions,
BHowell

Hi Bonnie,

Definitively yes. Anvers for French people, Antwerp for British and Antwerpen for Dutch or Flemish. Antwerp is the capital of Antwerp Province of Flanders in Belgium.

Hi Bonnie,
As Christian said, Anvers and Antwerp are the same and are located in the Flandre province of Belgium I used the term Antwerp in my translation because I was writing in english.

Here is another supplement for you and your aunt
In microfilm 5 Mi 25 R 010 Bergues (St Pierre parish) [B 1759-1780] page 138/1059

19 December 1764
Baptism of Louis Joseph CARLIER
son of Jean Baptiste Louis CARLIER, native of Dunkerque ( Dunkirk in english)
and Marie Jacqueline Helene LEFERE, native of Crochte ( it is near Bergues)
Godfather: François LEROY
Godmother: Jeanne Angélique OUTTERS
Here is the link to the image in the Galerie

Bergues is about 8 miles from Dunkerque
Crochte is about 2 miles from Bergues.

Because the images of records are online on the Departmental Archives of Nord website, we are not supposed to post them in the Galerie any longer to avoid loading the Forum website. I made an exception because you do not read french and are not familiar with the French Archives website. I hope the administrator of the forum won't mind.
This morning I have been unable to load the record above. I will later when I can

Here is a link to the birth record of Henri Emile CARLIER in 1799 that I could not load earlier ( see the transcription in an earlier message)

My best wishes to your aunt. Have a good good day
Christiane
