 | Marriage Certificate for Henry S. DeGrange and Marie Cecile Bozant (m. 1891)
Transcription:
" . . . to-wit: the night of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety one . . . was registered a marriage, celebrated in the City of New Orleans, La., by Rev. father F.A. Cuppens on the 9 day of June 1891 between Henry S. DeGrange (31 years,) a native of New Orleans, La son of Joseph H. DeGrange and Ellen McMillan, and Miss Marie Cecile Bozant (30 years,) a native of New Orleans La daughter of Auguste Bozant and Cecile Correjolles. The celebration of marriage was performed in the presence of the witnesses John Bozant, B.J. DeGrange, Gabriel Bozant. The License was issued on the 8 day of June 1891 . . . " |
| Notes |
- There is no New Orleans birth record for him, which means he may have been born out of the city, perhaps in 1861 when his father was in Virginia during the Civil War, and/or his mother was out of the city? He did live there after that; there are birth records for two of the children, Ruth Marie and Joseph Henry.
Confirmation that he is JHDeGrange's son come from the JHD correspondence, letter from Boston July 10, 1869, in which he encloses a short note "To Mr. Henry Snodgrass DeGrange."
His age is given as "31" when he was married; his wife was 30.
In 1900, all three of his children, including his youngest at the time--Ester at age 2--were born in Louisiana, meaning that he must have moved there very recently.
His death certificate also names his parents. It says that he died of "vascular disease of the heart." Occupation is "Clerk at M & O." He had lived in Mobile for 18 years before his death. He was buried at the "Catholic cemetery," presumably in Mobile. [3]
