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 Christiane, Hi Bonnie, bonjour à tous,

Message # 77 TRANSLATION

This afternoon I went to the Dunkirk main cemetery with the purpose to try and help you (I am living abt 1 mile away)
The Administrative Dept holds registers from 1835 (for sure with missing parts and omissions)
We have been through 1875 to 1880 years and unfortunately no mention of the burial either of Arthur CARTIER or Louise PLANTE.

However:
1) We have to know that burial place is known under the name of the owner,
2) I have been told that at the considered period, died people transfers for burial were not all registered,
3) It would be necessary to check registers after 1880 in case the transfers were made after this year,
4) There are other cemeteries nearby Dunkirk, such as Malo-les-Bains, Rosendael and even Petite-Synthe...

It would be good to continue your/our searches in Belgium to get more precise dates and places of birth and dead for this family.


Christian
