Chatéauné en Poitou

Post by mcguirfl »

Below is an entry from Dublin church records in 1693. I assume it is a transcript from hand written information and there may be some error in transcribing. Can anyone tell me where Chatéauné en Poitou is?  I cant find it on any maps.

Jean Brethé (du Maison neuve). — Aujourdhuy 22 e Novembre a esté enterré par Mr. Barbier, l’un de nos ministres, le corps de deffun Mr. Jean Brethé dit La Maison  neuve, natif du bourg de Chatéauné en Poitou ; auquel enterrement ont assisté Messieurs de Pontieu, capne., Louis Chaigneau et autres, qui ont dit que le dit estoit aagé lors de son deces de soixante-trois ans, ou environ.

Bonjour,

Vous pourriez peut-être chercher dans l'une de ces communes ?
Chasseneuil ?
Chateauneuf ?

Hi,
Try Chantonnay (Vendée) :

Vendée is actually in "Pays de Loire" but was in "Poitou" before the French revolution :

My original information also mentioned that Jean Brethe was also from the village of Maison Neuve . I have found other information that his wife was from Maisonneuve. I know there is a Maissonneuve near Poitiers, but I also note that there is a road named La Maisonneuve just south of Chantonnay. Can anyone tell me if there was a place named Maisonneuve near Chantonnay?

Hi,

"La Maison Neuve" means "The New House", so this name is very used everywhere in France.
For Chantonnay, there is a place called "La Maison Neuve" at the south of Chantonnay :

The archives of church records in Chantonnay begins in 1693. So you should try notaries archives to find some clues.
