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, bonjour à tous,

Unfortunately, for the time being nothing more about the subject.

You asked a question about Dunkirk cemetery. As far as I know there was only one cemetery at that time for Dunkirk. Regarding a possible list of people buried in the cemetery you have to consider the following:
In France, before 1793 the registers were in charge of the church and they were not speaking about birth but baptism and burial instead of death, unchanged for marriage. Generally, they used to bury people in the cemetery of the church and sometimes inside the church.
Then the Sépultures (Burial) register gives the list you are looking for.

From 1793, registers are in charge of the State officers located in the City House. It is the reason why such registers are established for Birth, Marriage and Death without the idea of religious event.
By experience I know that cemeteries have their own registers to keep tracability of people buried there : who, when, where in the cemetery.

Regarding the other question related to people died in a place and buried in another place. It is not really frequent, except if you died where you were not living (for instance accident). It can be also the case when transfered to another place to be buried with your ancestors our family if space is available in the burial vault.

Back to your search, according to whar you explained, Arthur died and was buried at Toledo in 1880. Have you the corresponding death record, it might contain some interesting informations such as birth place. Have you tried to find the marriage record CARLIER x CLOSE ?

Have a nice day
Christian
