Charles deMouilpied Furniture Store

Last year the Manchester, New Hampshire Historical Association put out a wonderful calendar. What made the 2013 year special was it featured Charles' de Mouilpied's furniture store. According to the calender, the  approximate year is 1915. The building still stands as a mainstay for Elm St. Earlier locations of his store are elsewhere on Elm St. and other locations in Manchester. This is perhaps the last location of the business.

De Moulpied Geneology from the Midwest

I received this thoughtful email which is loaded with de Moulpied information. It may be of use to some of you out there. I see that some of the births were in Washington.  If anyone can verify that, much appreciated. The Washington connection has been a mystery so far. Thanks and enjoy!

I am not related to this family but my gr-grandfather married (W#2) widowed Tressa M. Windnagle Demoulpied 1926 @ Traverse City, MI. Tressa May Windnagle Demoulpied Hamilton d. 1942 @ Traverse City, MI - see Findagrave.com Mem#122851607. Her 1st husband & f/o four children was 

Clarence Martin Demoulpied b. 1885 - d. 1918 SD (see Findagrave.com Mem#55565552). He was the son of Thomas James Demoulpied (b. 1857 WI - d. 1930 Antrim Co., MI) & Lavina Johnson (b. 1865 MI-d. 1912 Antrim Co., MI) - see "MI Deaths & Burials Index Records" (ancestry.com). Thomas J. Demoulpied did marry a 2nd wife after 1912 - see 1920 census record. 

Children born to Clarence Martin Demoulpied & Tressa M. Windnagle (d/o Edward E. Windnagle -FAG.com Mem#75301384 & Ada Bronk - FAG.com Mem#75301392) were: Queen Bell Demoulpied Burton (b. 1904 MI-d. 1991 Mason Co., WA), May Demoulpied (b. 1907 WA), Clarence Earl Demoulpied (b. 1909 WA-d. 1984 Troup Co., GA - see GA Deaths & SS Death Index Records) & Irma Demoulpied (b. 1912 WA). 

I am sharing this info with you in hopes that it may be helpful in some way. There is presently a "Don Demoulpied - contractor" @ Traverse City, MI.

What an interesting family origin you have!

Looking for Judith de Mouilpied

We have a request from a cousin looking for Judith de Mouilpied, born 1808 in St. Martin, Guernsey. She says:

I have been researching my ancestors for about two years now.  My maternal Great Grandfather, Arthur Le Patourel,  was born in St. Peter Port, Guernsey in 1881.  His paternal Great Grandparents were Daniel Marquand Le Patourel and Judith de Mouilpied.  I have traced the Le Patourel family history, on Guernsey, back to 1550 but, unfortunately, I have been unable to find out more about Judith de Mouilpied.  

All I know about her is that she was born in St. Martin in 1808.  Judith and Daniel had six children; Rachel (Patty) who was born in 1831, Daniel b.1836, Mary b.1838, Susan b.1841, Peter b.1845 and Henriette b.1848.

Do you have any idea who Judith's parents were? Does anyone have access to the St. Martin's records?

Can you help?  Please contact me!  Thanks.

Joseph de Mouilpied Ministered in Sorel, Canada

Up until now, the first ministerial position we knew for Joseph de Mouilpied was at St. Peter's Church in Malbay in 1860. There now appears to be some mention of him being at a church in Sorel, Quebec just prior to St. Peter's. Sorel is located between Montreal and Trois Rivieres on the Eastern side of the river, south of Nicolet. Pierreville is between Sorel and Nicolet. This is from a history book:

"In 1852, the parish activity increased sufficiently so as to merit an assistant clergyman. The Rev. Puricelle S. Williams was a missionary at River David, in the old Seigneury of Bourg Marie de l'Est. His services were obtained, and he came to Christ Church as curate to the Rector, while continuing his services at River David. He remained until 1857, when he was replaced by the Rev. Joseph De Mouilpied, who maintained the curacy until 1859. While serving at Sorel, Mr. De Mouilpied apparently also ministered to a group at Pierreville, Que.

An act of Parliament in 1860 changed the name of the town from "William Henry" to "Sorel", the old name of M. de Saurel never having been totally disused. Now the name of Prince William Henry became part of the history of Sorel, identified with the early growth and development of a town."

A recent email arrived from South Australia - another person looking for de Mouilpieds. If you would like to connect with this person, just email me. This is what she had to say:

"I live in a small town called Cummins, in South Australia.

My mother (Jaqueline Anne, born Amhurst, Guernsey, 1951) is a DeMouilpied, one of 6 children of Rex (dec) and Madeleine (nee Bougourd). My grandparents came to Australia in the 1950's I believe, and resided at Coffs Harbour, New South Wales. I grew up in Coffs Harbour, but married and moved to South Australia ten years ago.

 I would love to know more about the origin and history of the name."
