He was born in 1842/43, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Anthony (originally Antoine) Bournonville and Charlotte Victoria Abadie. (Read 'Charlotte Bournonville story' (source 27 below) for more about the fascinating family history.) They apparently had five children:
[sources: date: 6 (18 in 1861), 12 (46 in 1890; 50 in 1895), 12 (18 in 1861), 14 (7 in 1850), 15 (15 in 1860), 16 (26 in 1870), 17 (36 in 1880). place: 6, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17. parents: 4, 14, 15, 22, 24, 27]
In 1850, he was living in Upper Delaware Ward, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was living with his (presumed) parents Anthony and Charlotte, his (presumed) siblings A. C., Eugene, and Louisia, and with others (apparently servants). He had attended school within the year. [source: 14]

On 25 December 1862, he returned to the regiment from the hospital. [source: 12]
He was discharged on 12 February 1863 on surgeon's certificate of disability, at Falmouth, Virginia. He had had hemorrhoids ('an Haemorhoides interiora') for nine months, had been 'in a Gen[eral] Hospital to perform an Operation on him, without any effect', and had been under continual medical treatment for the previous five months. He was a corporal, in company C. [sources: 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 46, 47]
On 27 February 1863, his father, Anthony Bournonville, who was also the family physician, died. (He was 65, and had been born in Lyons, France.) Anthony Bournonville lived at 221 North 4th Street, 6th ward, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was buried in Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [sources: 12, 13]
When he returned from the army, he was treated in Washington DC and in Philadelphia by his uncle (his mother's brother) Eugene Hilarian Abadie, who was a US Army Surgeon. [source: 12; see 27 about Eugene Hilarian Abadie]

Andrew was an attorney at law (and Secretary of the Regents University), and owned $20,000 in real estate, and $3,500 in personal property. Charles's brother August was living in ward 13, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with his wife Kate, three children, and two servants. He was a physician, and owned $45,000 in real estate, and $5,000 in personal property. (August's wife Kate died later that year, on 30 November 1870.) Charles's sister Charlotte Voorhees was living in New Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey, with her husband, four children, and a servant. He was a physician, and owned $2,000 in personal property. [sources: 29, 36, 38, 44]
He was a member of Nebraska Grand Army of the Republic post 227, in Chadron, Dawes County, Nebraska. [source: 8]

On 14 October 1882, he applied unsuccessfully for a pension, from Dakota, presumably under the Act of 14 July 1862. On 18 June 1883, the Adjutant General's Office sent the Pension Office information about Bournonville, which unfortunately did not indicate how he was ill. I assume his application failed because he wasn't able to show that his disability was caused while he was in the service, in the line of duty. [sources: 9, 10, 12]
On 19 January 1890, his sister, Charlotte Bournonville Voorhees, died. She died at New Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey. She had been born on 23 December 1830, in France, and was married to Charles Holbert Voorhees on 7 June 1849. [sources: 21, 23, 25]
In 1890, his brother Augustus was living at 1507 Girard Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [source: 35]
On 13 August 1890, his mother, Charlotte Bournonville, died. She died of apoplexy, apparently at 153 Lexington Avenue, New York City. She was born in 1802/03, in France. On 16 August 1890, she was buried at Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [source: 26]
On 20 November 1890, he again applied for a pension, under the Act of 27 June 1890. He was living in Missoula, Missoula County, Montana. He was disabled by hemorrhage of the bowels. [source: 12]
In 1892, he told people that a relative, the Marquis Leonard Charles de Bournonville, who had died in Lyons, France, had left him 500,000 francs. He was apparently living in Great Falls, Montana, where he had been a cook at the county jail, a carpenter, a contractor, and a peanut stand proprietor. According to his obituary, whatever he received 'was soon dissipated and it was probably only a small sum'. [sources: 18, 19]
On 17 January 1895, he again applied for a pension under the Act of 27 June 1890, this time using an attorney from Washington DC. He was living in Helena, Lewis and Clark County, Montana. He had hemorrhoids and a weakness in the small of his back. [source: 12]
He died on 26 September 1897, on a ranch near Choteau, Montana. He had been a member of Sheridan post, number 18, Grand Army of the Republic, but had 'not been in good standing in the post for some time'. He was known as 'Baldy'. He owned a cigar factory in Great Falls, and became cook at the city jail after losing the factory. He was not married. He was buried at Highland Cemetery, Great Falls, [Cascade County,] Montana. [sources: 11, 19]

Funeral services were held in St Matthew's Lutheran Church, Broad and Mount Vernon Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On 5 December 1906, he was buried, in the North Laurel Hill Cemetery. [sources: 20, 22]

The other Charles Bournonville in Philadelphia is clearly too old to be the one who served in the 91st Pennsylvania. In 1870, a Charles Bournonville was living in the 13th ward of Philadelphia, accdording to the 1870 US census (38th district, page 347). He was born in France, and was 63 years old. He is pretty clearly the Charles Bournonville in Alain Bournonville's database (Informations généalogiques (viewed January 2009; not available on 8 November 2013)). He was born to Antoine Bournonville and Louise Sandberg. He died in San Francisco. His half-brother August Bournonville was living in Philadelphia in 1860 and 1870 (1860 US census 12th ward 1st division, page 70; 1870 US Census Philadelphia PA 3th ward 38th district page 346; see also 1900 census Philadelphia PA 29th ward e.d. 709 p.85A).

F. George Heldt yesterday received from Choteau information of the death, at a nearby ranch, of Charles Bournonville, formerly of this city. Mr. Bournonville had been a member of Sheridan post, No. 18, G.A.R., and it was thought that Mr. Heldt, as an officer of the post, should be notified, but it appears that Mr. Bournonville has not been in good standing in the post for some time and, consequently, the remains will probably be buried at the expence of Teton county.
Bournonville was commonly known as "Baldy." He was at several times engaged in business in Great Falls. Once he owned a cigar factory on Second street south, and, after he lost that, he became cook at the city jail.
He was born and raised in Pennsylvania and a brother now resides in Philadelphia.
A few years ago a wealthy relative of the brothers died in France and Charles announced that he had inherited a fortune. It is believed that he did receive some money, but it was soon dissipated and it was probably only a small sum.
The brother in Philadelphia is said to be wealthy.
Bournonville was a bachelor, about 50 years of age. He was in the hospital department of the federal army during the war and was honorably discharged.
