Marie Françoise

 

FamilySearch. Birkenwald birth records, 1846.

Marie Françoise Halter, older sister of Marie Rose, was born in Birkenwald, Bas-Rhin, France on 6 February 1846. She made the journey to Algeria with her parents and siblings, and first appears in the records in Oran, Algeria in January 1866. Marie Françoise gave birth to a daughter, Marie Jeanne Halter. No father is listed on that record. 

On 16 March 1867, she married Pierre Lahargue in Oran. The flowing script on her marriage record is written in French, but clearly in the hand of someone who also wrote in Arabic.

ANOM. Oran, Algeria. 16 Mar 1867.

Pierre and Marie Françoise had at least the following children:

• Clotilde Françoise Lahargue, 1867
• Pierre Lahargue Jr, 1869
• Marianne Josephine Lahargue, 1871
• Pauline Lahargue, 1873
• Catherine Aurelie Lahargue, 1875
• Henriette Pauline Lahargue, 1878
• Adrienne Rosine Lahargue, 1888

Marie Françoise provided a French citizenship declaration on 14 June 1872 from Dellys, on the northern Algerian coast.

Ancestry. 1872.

I haven't found a death record for Marie Françoise, but it seems likely she died in Algeria, sometime after 1888.
