de gernier?? Dundee??

[smcb]

Hi
Christina Balfour DeGernier  born  12 SEP 1890 in Greenmarket, St. Clements, Dundee, was the wife of my great grand uncle. Daniel Macgregor. (so she would be my gr. grand aunt).  She was married to Daniel Macgregor on 27 January 1911 in Dundee.  Sadly he died in World War One.  My great Grandmother never really got over his death as he was her favourite brother.  Her name was Catherine Macgregor.  I do know that my Gr. Grandmother visited the “De Gernier’s” in Dundee in the late 1940/50, possibly early 60’s but she died in 1965 and very little is known about this side of the family…how sad.  I know this because my Mother remembers her Granny going visiting to Dundee.  I do not know if “Teenie”  and Daniel had children or if she ever married again but any information would be greatly appreciated.

This is the only info I have:

Gustav Degernier (born abt 1869 brussells, france) married Christina Balfour 27 DEC 1889 Dundee

children:
william Balfour Degernier  born 22 APR 1889 in St.Clements, Dundee
Christine Balfour Degernier born 12 SEP 1890 St.Clements, Dundee
Hortence De gernier born abt 1892 in St. Clements, Dundee
Betsy Degernier born abt 1893 in St. Clements, Dundee
Mary A Degernier born abt 1896 in St. Clements, Dundee
Eliza A Degernier born abt1897 in St.Clements, Dundee

I have them all living together in 1901 at 7 Castle Court, St Clement district, Dundee. 

I think Gustavs parents were Thomas (Antoine) De gernier and Hortense Camilla Verplanche or Verplanke.

as I say ANY info would be greatly appreciated.

I have added a little info I found previous, here is the link:

Kind regards,
