Hi...my father is peter de-bressac, son of Eddie ribot de-bressac who is the youngest son of Gaston ribot de-bressac. My grandfather had a sister called Zenda (i think). My dad is the second cousin in john ribot. Hope that helps a little. I do have contact also with my third cousin Amy ribot who's father is Mark ribot...John ribot's father. Hope that helps.

acremer — 2008-09-02 06:08:50Z

My great grandmother was Angeligue ribot de Bressac. She married Augustus Cremer from Hommarting, Moselle before moving to Noumea in the 1890's. She then immigrated to Balmain, Sydney in 1911. Augustus was a ships engineer and there are records about him and Angelique on the NW maritime records and on births, deaths and marriages.
John Ribot is my great 2nd cousin or something.

Hope that helps.

Dear Donaldous1,

I would be very happy to learn more about this story from you.

Would it be possible for you to transmit to me a description of this story ? Have you the possibility to send to me the copy of this unpublished biography which relate this part of the story ?
Many thanks in advance

donaldous1 — 2008-01-10 18:40:14Z

I am the great, great grandson of the missionary Samuel MacFarlene who reportedly married this couple. An unpublished biography of his time on Lifou reports great frustration in dealing with the French administration in Noumea, a situation that eventually forced him to leave Lifou.

olboina — 2006-11-16 10:45:58Z

John Hennessy (or hensey) est né vers 1811 en irlande (je ne sais pas ou). Son père s'appelait aussi John.

Elisabeth Shlone ou slone ou sloane est né vers 1826 et je ne sais pas ou non plus.

Je ne sais pas ou ils se sont mariés mais ils ont eu au moins 3 enfants :
- Mary jeanne Hennessy né au chili valparaiso en 1847, marié au moins 2 fois, et qui a eu un enfant avec Meyer Dahan
- William Hennessy né je pense à Sydney vers 1856-1857
- Jean Benjamin Hennessy (appelé aussi John) né vers 1857

Ils ont terminés leur vis en nouvelle calédonie.

Re: Lifou family Hennessy Waehnya chief of Xepene

Chris_Liavaa — 2006-11-10 04:35:35Z

According to the book "Cannibal Island" by H E L Priday,

a missionary named MacFarlane in Lifou married "the daughter of an Irishman named Hennessey to a native chief named Aima. Noumea made out that trader Hennessey "sold"his daughter to the chief for a house and a load of copra. Garnier, who visited the island about 1866, says: 'a minor chief of Lifou had, through the good offices of the Protestant missionary, M. Mac-F..., asked in marriage a poor English girl, Miss Mary H..., whose parents handed her over in exchange for a house and a quantity of yams. Later the "sellers" sought through the French courts to have this union annulled, asking for the return of their daughter; but she was so attached to her husband that she refused to leave him. For his part, the chief was much taken with Miss Mary, of whom he was proud and whom he treated perfectly well.'

Mary had two sons by her chief, and lived with him for several years. Until his dying day old Hennessey, who settled in Noumea, denied that he had "sold"his daughter. Mary came to New Caledonia at a later date and took up with a German named Schwob; and her third husband was an Algerian Jew named Meyerdahn. She finally died in Noumea during a plague epidemic.
.....................
This book was published in 1944.

Your spelling of the husband's name- Waehnya, is probably the correct form for Aima.

No dates are given in the book, but there might be court records available that would show the request for an annulment.

Hi and thanks for looking.

These are my grandparents and there seems to be some mystery as to Alphonse's real birthplace and year. Seems he changed the dates and places to get into the army in WWI and II, to be older for the first and younger for the second as well as his place of birth to be considered an Australian citizen I would imagine. He didn't give much away in his life so that's why he's the hardest to find.

When you say I can get a copy from them, who is "them" and how can I go about this?

Many thanks,
Lisa
