BIENVENU in NY by Fred-Diana Bienvenu Mon Apr 06 1992 ------------------------------- Our main interest in finding information about Edwin Quertier BIENVENU in the Mt Vernon NY area is that he represents the only positive information we have of one of our line of BIENVENU's to make it to the USA from the Channel Islands (there are several BIENVENU/E lines in the US and Canada but we have not linked to any of these). To reiterate a little ... Edwin Quertier BIENVENU, b. 31 Oct 1851 in St Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands. Edwin travelled to Australia and N.Z. c.1854. ... he m. to Laura HALLOCK, dau. of Landford HALLOCK, on 20 May 1885 in Mt. Vernon. They had a son b. 9 Nov 1888 in Mt. Vernon. Edwin was a clerk of the Board of Education presumably at Mt. Vernon for 25 years. He d. at the Hotel Ansonia, Asbury Park, New Jersey on 24 Aug 1923 and was bur. at Mt. Vernon. This data comes from reports in the newspapers from Guernsey but no "son's" name. We would like to know if this "son" lived etc. and is there an extant line of BIENVENU's, related to us, living in the US today? We seek likely places to find if the "Son" or other children lived and the death date of Edwin's wife. If anyone had access to census or BDM indexes of the area it "may" (?) not be difficult to follow the movement of the family. Fred-Diana Bienvenu, P.O.Box 382, Myrtleford, Victoria 3737, Australia.
