Hi, i was wondering anyone could help me i'm trying to find out information on my 3rd x Great Grandparents & Family in France.
Caterine Smagge born about 1823 in France died in 1906 Australia
Xavier Ambroise Matton born 1795 BOLLEZEELE and died 1876 Dunkirk (DUNKERQUE)
(found on http://www.archivesdepartementales.cg59.fr/)
They had 4 kids all born Bollezelle
- Louie Napolion b.1854 d.1857 (not 100% sure if it is there child)
- Chales b.1857 d.Aust
- Louie Auguste b.1859 d.Aust
- Marie Louise Josephine b.1862 d.Aust
(found on http://www.archivesdepartementales.cg59.fr/)
Caterine and her 3 children immigrated to Australia in 1878.
Other info is that Caterine was married prior (to Xavier) to a man with the surname Roseau, they had 3 boys in france and then a daughter Coralie Roseau in about 1849 in Africa. In the War they fled to north africa and her Husband Mr Roseau and her 3 sons all died in Africa, and this is where he daughter Coralie was born.
Family Stories say Caterine was brought up wealthy and she was well educated and was a tailoress, also they might have been related to royaly, but apparently during the war the lost all there money as it was taken into chancery in england.
When she came back to france and married Xavier she apparently lived at one point in Flanders.
Coralie didnt immigrate with the family as she was married to a man called Harry DeQue/LeCue. They had there own children. Harry died and was buried as a pauper in Dunkirk.
Someone else's tree on the net has Caterine parents as Constantine August SMAGGUE & Francisca BOUCHIES
Also the Family was Catholic
So i was wondering whether anyone could help out with records in france (the only ones i have found are the ones i found on http://www.archivesdepartementales.cg59.fr/ as stated above).
Would anyone know areas near Bollezelle or Dunkirk that i could search on that site too.
Thanks for reading.
Cherie

Tati :)
What site did you find this on?
Thanks
-
I found in on the site you linked to, archives départementales 59. Are you aware you can see the actual registers on there ?
Catherine Barbe Lucie Smagghe, birth registration 9 Sep 1823 (p407/1334). Dad Jean Constant, aged 32, is a "couvreur en paille" (thatcher).
possible brother Laurent Ambroise Smagghe, 21 May 1825, but I didn't check the actual record.
Marriage Jean Constant Smagghe and Françoise Debusscher 8 Nov 1822 in Buysscheure.
:)
Edit: corrected Catherine's name
-
No i didnt know, where abouts on the site can you do that?
Thanks

I've actual heard that her father was a roofer, so a thatcher matches that.
-
No i didnt know, where abouts on the site can you do that?
I'm not sure how you've been using the site so I'm taking it from the start page here
http://www.archivesdepartementales.cg59.fr/?id=archives_online
Select "Etat civil" on the left, the underneath select either "tables décénnales" (10 year indexes) or "Actes".
Let's suppose we want to see Catherine's birth and we've already found the date - 9 Sep 1823 - in the 10-year-index for Buysscheure.
To see the actual record, select "Actes", then
commune : Buysscheure
période (between 1823 and 1823 to avoid too many records from coming up),
type d'acte : naissances
click "rechercher".
One result comes up (Births, marriages and deaths 1807 through 1862)
Click on the pic and trawl through the records.
:)
-
Thanks, i have found the record, i can't really understand it at all, cause i don't read french. found the Jean Constant Smagghe in the middle of the writting tho.

Eugénie Coralie Roseau 18 Aug 1849 (p1022/1334) - maybe your Coralie?
Could well might be, the family story is that when they fled to Africa she had Coralie, and after the husband and boys died the fighting got worse and she ended up leaving the town where she was and ended up in the desert and some strangers gave her some camels milk to find the baby. I dont know much about the wars in this time period but mayby they fled after she was born. Are the records of birth or of baptism? and does it state how old they are at the time. I have a copy of a letter that Marie Matton daughter wrote about what her mother told her.
-
Thankyou so much for your help, i'm off to bed for the night (i'm in Australia).
-

These are all civil registration records (after 1792)

http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr
- has one reference to Pierre Louis Roseau as a colonist in Algeria (Base nominative Personnes et Familles) and also it appears some records (not name searchable) under etat civil including for El Arrouch. I did not see any death records for Roseau there but they might be registered elsewhere - or depending on the circumstances, not properly registered at all. Not all years have indexes, there are no ten-year indexes, and some of the early 1850s records appear to have been damaged.
I'm guessing they went as colonists (colons/pied-noir), but perhaps Pierre (and some other children) died there and Catherine was left with Coralie (a babe in arms) trying to make her way home to France from Algeria. As for the " 3 boys in france" - it doesn't seem that there's space for them between the marriage and Pierre's death in Algeria, but as Pierre was married before he married Caterine perhaps there were one or two boys from his first marriage? Previous wife of Pierre Louis Roseau was Delphine Fidelie Reine St. Jean who died 1846 in Buysscheure - she was b. Rubrouck, aged 30 when she died. They married in 1841 in Rubrouck.
Info on where they were in Algeria:
http://fr.geneawiki.com/index.php/Alg%C3%A9rie_-_El-Arrouch
Note the name of the railway station. If you go back to the records and look for "Robertville" rather than El-Arrouch, there is one record for this family.
(page 11) Amelie Roseau b. 8 Sep 1843 at Niollet, Dunkerque, Nord, daughter of Pierre Louis Roseau, deceased and Delphine St. Jean, deceased, died at the home of her stepmother, 25 Oct 1850.
Nieurlet is probably the location of this girl's birth, but records for that commune don't seem to be online. The timing/location seems to confirm Catherine's statement about the death of her first husband at the time of her second marriage, though.

Coralie's marriage (found the reference on a tree at geneanet) took place in Eringhem on 14 Sep 1869, p102/310.
Henri Félix Florimond Decoo - Eugénie Coralie Roseau
Henri born 27 May 1841 in Eringhem.
Eugénie Coralie Roseau, cabaretière (innkeeper), born in Buysscheure on 23 Aug 1849, daughter of Pierre Louis Roseau (died El Arrouch Algeria 30 Aug 1850) and Catherine Barbe Lucie Smagge, cabaretière, residing Dunkerque, attending.
Birth of a daughter in Dunkerque, 4 Oct 1869: Berthe Hélène Marie Decoo, p502/1070. Parents residing rue Saint-Bernard in Dunkerque.
-
Looking at both the El Arrouch and Robertville (http://fr.geneawiki.com/index.php/Alg%C3%A9rie_-_Robertville ) pages it seems that cholera and earthquakes were responsible for many deaths among the early French colonists in the area, but also the page on Robertville mentions that the location, close to the mountains, exposed the settlers to attacks.
Found the birth of the girl Amalie Roseau who died in Algeria, in Lederzeele in 1843 (p. 649/67). Haven't spotted any more Roseau children (Eugenie's full or half siblings).
Her daughter Berthe that Tati found may have married in Saint-Pol-sur-Mer.

wow, thank you guys so much, you are awesome.

It's an interesting story! I hope she was happy in her second marriage and with her children in Australia - she'd earned a comfortable old age.
It struck me that there was apparently a cholera epidemic in 1849 - the same year some of my Cornish relatives went through one, what was with 1849, anyway? - so they may have been among the families sent to repopulate the area. Wherever you see a cholera epidemic that tells you that the conditions your ancestors were living in were not good - particularly their access to fresh, clean, water.
Probably the Roseaus were poor in France and hoped for - or had been promised - better things in Algeria, perhaps the opportunity to own their own land. As was typical of 1800s colonisation schemes, the difficulties would have been downplayed when recruitment was taking place in France.
Among the issues mentioned here - reliance on the government for loans/equipment, swamps, brambles, continuous looting and night attacks, buildings promised but not delivered, lands promised that turned out to be already occupied, drought, cold, grasshoppers, dysentry, malaria...
Des petits colons : détenteurs de concession de 4 à 12 hectares, tributaires de l'administration pour l'octroi de prêts et de matériel, parfois assignés au rôle de métayers des grands concessionnaires. Les conditions souvent misérables dans lesquelles ils vivaient en faisait une proie désignée pour les maladies, dues à l'insalubrité du climat.
Ceux-là auront connu les marécages où l'on s'embourbe, les ronces impénétrables, l'hostilité des terres, les pillages incessants, les agressions nocturnes, les constructions promises jamais obtenues, les concessions qui n'en étaient pas, déjà occupées ou vendues en multipropriétés, la sécheresse, le froid et les sauterelles, la malaria, la dysenterie, et le paludisme enfin, qui en 1837 en feront périr plus d'un tiers.

Catherine 2nd husband Xavier Died in france in 1876, her and the Matton Children went to Australia in 1878. Tho she did end up marrying again in Australia in 1891. She lived to be 83 years of age. She was going to head back to Africa but ended up in Australia as she turned to the protestant church as she was getting no help from the catholic church and the minister told her why not australia as the the queen was offering free passage, and the church helped her with the cost of traverling to england.
-
The letter i have says that her husband and children died from a fever so the cholera epidemic would fit.
-
Could someone translate
Buysscheure 1825 births page 448/1334
Its for Laurent Ambroise Smagge (Catherine's brother as i can make out the fathers name, but cant read the rest)
Thanks
-
Do you have their emigration to Australia? (1878 to Queensland on the Glamis, although only children listed with her are Marie and August - maybe Charles came separate).
Laurent's birth - 21 may 1825, father Jean Constant aged 34, same occupation as on Catherne's birth, mother Rufine Françoise Debusscher aged 43. I'm guessing that due to Rufine's age they probably only had the two kids although there may be some Dehorter half-siblings from her earlier marriage.
-
Yes i do have the immigration record, Louie and Charles where listed under Martin.
Thanks for the Translation too.
-
Was wondering whether someone could help find and then translate the birth of Pierre Francois Louis Devos born 29/3/1921 in Bollezeele, im not have much luck understanding the french in the earlier births, im kinda flying blind, lol. just going page by page. Pierre is listed on Charles Matton Birth record as his first cousin.
Thanks
Edit Found him
-
Found him, could someone translate
Pierre Francois Louis Devos birth 1921 in Bollezeele page 107/1164

Bollezeele page 107/1164
26 May 1821
Birth registration Pierre Francois Louis Devos, born the previous day
Parents Pierre François Joseph Devos, 34, journalier (journeyman), residing Bollezeele born Cappellebrouck, and his wife Victoire Xavère Matton born & residing Bollezeele (doesn't give her age).
Witness Philippe Jacques Straseele, cultivateur, residing Bollezeele, 44, half-uncle by marriage of the newborn.
The other witness, Martin Devulder, not related.
Just for the record, I saw 2 death registrations of Roseau children in Buysscheure, both belonging to Pierre François and his first wife:
4 Oct 1847, Ambroisine Reine Marie Roseau aged 2 (born Buysscheure 3 oct 1845)
16 Apr 1849, Victoire Delphine Roseau aged 7 (born Saint-Omer dépt. Pas de Calais 23 Jul 1841, p436/1397. Archives here http://www.archivespasdecalais.fr/Archives-en-ligne )

Do we want to trace the Smagges back a little? (Sorry if you didn't!! :P)
Ebblinghem church records
11 Jan 1791 (p285/323) christening of Jean Constant Smagge born the same day, posthumous son of Pierre Jean Smagge. Mother Pétronille Rosalie Thibeau. Godparents Pierre Jacques Smagge (the boy's uncle, who signs) and Louise Pétronille(?) Goddeliève(?) Smagge (the boy's aunt, who doesn't sign)
previous page
5 Jan 1791 burial Pierre Jean Smagge, husband of Pétronille Rosalie Thiebau, native of this parish. Died 2 days earlier, aged about 52. Presence of his brothers Jacques Smagge and Jean François Xavier Smagge (both sign).
Seems to me "Pierre Jacques" and "Jacques" Smagge are one and the same person => same signature
Back to civil registration records for Rosalie's death:
7 Mar 1813, p489/961
Death registration Rosalie Thibaut (died 6 March), 66, spinner, widow of Pierre Smagge, born in Cassel, daughter of the late Jacques Thibaut and Rosalie Bogaert.
I'm adding the death of Pierre Jacques (Pierre Jean's brother) which occurred after the start of civil registration, to get their parents' names:
17 pluviose an 12 (7 Feb 1804), p307/961
Death registration Pierre Jacques Smagge, husband of Agnes Joly, farmer and mayor of Ebblinghem. Legitimate son of Jean Smagge and Marie Anne Germet

Death registration Pierre Jacques Smagge, husband of Agnes Joly, farmer and mayor of Ebblinghem. Legitimate son of Jean Smagge and Marie Anne Germet
Since Pierre Jacques Smagge was the Mayor of Ebblinghem, i wonder is this is the twist (IYKWIM) on the family story about being related to royalty, so not royal but still of great importance.
-
OK, seems Pierre Jacques was Pierre Jean's half-brother:
6 Oct 1737 Ebblinhem, p719/1183
christening Pierre Jean Smagge, legitimate son of Jean François Smagghe and Marie Josyne Martens. Godparents François Pierre Sergneraet and Marie Petronelle Montel.
Burial Marie Josyne Marthens 20 Apr 1738 (p728), aged 26, wife of Jean François Smagghe. Presence husband Jean François Smagge (signs) and father Joos Marthens (signs)
Jean-François remarries soon after: 1 Jul 1738 (p731) Marriage Jean François Smagghe, 30, son of Matthieu Smagghe and Micheline Bodaert, widower of Marie Josyne Marthens to Marie Anne François Germet, aged 20.
-
Thanks once again. Have typed up the family so i thought i would post so its easier to see what has and hasn't been found.

Hello again Cherie :)
I'm impressed at how much we already know. I hope this is not going to look like a mess later (didn't I read something about posts being modifiable for merely 24 hours? Someone please correct if I'm wrong, hadn't been on this site for ages)
Anyway, here we go:

I think you are correct, went back to my first page and i cant change the first post :( well i will just keep a record in my file. And then mayby repost if we get alot more info in one family generation IYKWIM.

Thanks for the Translations - i've updated my tree generations since i still can edit it.
was there a date on Charlotte Stephanie Matton birth and death in 1837 (sorry i left the date off before)

Just a query François Ryckelynck was listed as Uterine Brother to Xavier Matton, also as son of Marie Catherine Cecile Ryngaert (Xavier Mum) by Marraige
His birth works out to be abt 1800 but Xavier was born in 1797 and his father didnt die until 14/05/1811, therefor Xavier's Parents would still be together when Francois was born.
So how would he fit into the family? could he be a brother in law to Xavier?

I have found a death for a Francois Xavier Ryckelynck

I too am very impressed at how far we have gotten, my grandmother is going to be so thrilled when i show her, my mum said she will have to tell her to prepare for another sleepless night, i went a visited her a few wks back and showed her information on her other side of the family and she couldnt sleep that night cause she was up thinking about all the new information.

I think the record isn't accurate as to Mr. Ryckelynck's relationship. We met him earlier on this thread, at Marie Catherine Cécilé Ryngart's death in 1836. He was said to be her "son by marriage" (married to a daughter, I suppose)
Charlotte Stephanie Matton birth registration 23 Apr 1837, death registration 29 Apr 1837
(The record Francois Xavier Ryckelynck - 1846 Bollezeele page 398/1129 is a birth record)

(The record Francois Xavier Ryckelynck - 1846 Bollezeele page 398/1129 is a birth record)
oooppppsss, i'll have to go searching for it again.

Found him, I can make out the name Baert in there so that must be his wife so its must be the correct record.
