Arthur Andrisse and Louise Lebrun
What we know about the LEBRUN line from Tom's visit to Belgium
 |
Louise Lebrun |
- Ursmer Lebrun and Henriette Dumont were married in Binche, BE, 7/31/1811.
- Ursmer Lebrun was the eldest of three brothers, Jean Charles Lebrun, born at Binche on 5/6/1791, and Louis Lebrun, born at Binche on 7/23/1796.
- The final digit of the date of Ursmer Lebrun's birth is obscure, and could be a '4' instead of a '1'
I also have a document, handwritten in French, in my possession titled "Les 3 Genération de la famille Lebrun Everbee." This document was given to my brother, Tom, by Camille Lebrun, who as you can see below is a nephew of Louise Lebrun, my paternal great grandmother. By studying this document I have these comments:
- My grandfather's name was probably spelled "Artur."
- It may be that Louise Lebrun's father's name was "Louis," not "Léon."
- The document also lists the children of M. et Mad. Jules Durink Lebrun, the children of M. et Mad. D. Durink Machard and the children of M. et Mad. J. Durink Derave. I cannot determine what relationship these people bear to the chart below.
Finally, I wish to include the transcription of a part of another interview I did of my brother, Tom around 1980 concerning his visit to Binche. You may also find this third diagram helpful, for it lays out another network of family relationships which he crossed.
Tom says:
Octave Andrisse, Diane's father, told me to contact Camille Lebrun regarding the family tree. Octave Andris is Artur Andrisse's brother Octave's son. Camille was 91 years old and lived in Chaussee, Charleroi near the Passage a Niveau. He gave me the list entitled "Les 3 Genération de la famille Lebrun Everbee."
I had pictures of our great-grandfather (named "Arthur Andrisse" as well, married to Louisa Lebrun, but dad [Fernand] gave them away to Cyrille Navez, who used to own the Cafe Folklore. He now lives across from that cafe in the Grande Place. Anyway, they had the following children:
- Arthur, our grandfather
- Margueritte
- Louis. His nickname was Broze because he was so brown or strong. His specialty was short, wide cannons and glass. He made numerous objects for the home such as trumpets, canes, etc. He married Marie Garelmand, the had two children, Marie Louise (known as Yvonne) and Octave. I met Octave and Yvonne at the Carnival du Binche in 1971 on my birthday. They invited me to their home, 18 Avenue du Lisas, Waterloo, Belgium. My landlord, Charles, drove me from my hotel in Brussels to this place, where I met them as they had invited me to do. They were elderly then, and I made several visits down there. There was the monument to the Battle of Waterloo there. Yvonne wanted me to stay, but I never did. She had not talked to Ermeline (her first cousin) but invited her over, and Ermiline ended up taking care of Yvonne until she died in 1973.
- Aïda. [Alphonse's input: She married Louis Thirion and they had two children, Laurie and Agusta.] I [Tom] had pictures, but dad [Fernand] gave them away.
- Octave. Father of the boy, Octave, who sent me to Camille.
- Daniel. Married Eva Thies (Tesse) He was born in the hotel Pigeon Bleu in Batingy. I was told this by his daughter, Ermilienne, her maiden name was Andrisse. She lived with a man named Maurice Lantierre and did get married eventually. She still corresponds with Alphonse.
- Hermeliene. In 1971 she was in an old-ladies convalescent home in Con, France. Her daughter married Jules Forten, and they had a daughter Christianne, who married a man named Guillotine.
