Abstract of Marriage Contracts: ‘1649, April 12. Marriage contract between Anthoine Blanchamp [Blanchant], son of the late Leonin and the late Isabeau le Roy, his father and mother, assisted by Mathieu Blanchamp [Blanchan], his brother; and Martinne Valque, daughter of Jacques, assisted by Jaque Valque [Valke], her brother, and Mahieu Marhem. Mention of land in Arthois belonging to the said Anthoine. Witness, A. Denis. (Vol. iv, No. 157).” From the Intro p. 626:
“The variations between square brackets [ ] are taken from signatures.”
1978This isn’t ironclad proof of my Mathieu’s parents; Anthoine and Mathieu could be half-brothers, I suppose. But since Mathieu did bap. Magdelaine also in this Canterbury church in 1647, I think there is a good chance that Leonin is Mathieu’s father.”
