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

Bonjour Bonnie et François,
I made also a search on Familysearch website yesterday, and like you, I found the marriage George E. CARLIER x Annie SPINK.
George CARLIER is 24, born in Pennsylvania? Annie SPINK is 18 born in Illinois?
Here is an image of their marriage licence which establishes the names of their parents Arthur Emile CARLIER x Ida Mae CLOSE and W. A. SPINK x Eliza PARSH.

This licence is signed May 2, 1900

From there, I feel we need some records to establish a link with Henri Emile CARLIER (1799-1875) x THOMPSON whose records I found in Dunkerque. Otherwise we might be on the wrong track.

The website of Familysearch has a lot of information that has been submitted by people and has not been verified, so we need records to check what we find. Fortunately, they now put images of records on their website so we need to keep looking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
