Ralfe,
Can you tell me who Jean Marc Poisson is with the phone number +27 82 556 6016?
Marie Sylvanie Poisson is the mother-in-law of my great aunt. Poisson is her married name, because she married Charles Melidor Poisson. Her maiden name is Lousteau, and she was born in Savanne, Mauritius in about 1844. Her Mauritius records have her as Marie Sylvanine Lousteau. She married Mr. Charles Melidor Poisson on June 11, 1874 in Savanne, Mauritius and came to South Africa on 12 March 1886. She died Nov 5, 1903.

Gerald Eugene Poisson, born April 18, 1936 in Durban, died July 11, 1994 in Pinetown. He is the son of Joseph Eugene Poisson and Mary Sheila Cavanagh. He married Jean Elizabeth Naude on 2 Jan 1960 in Benoni.

Charles Melidor Poisson was born October 23, 1830 in Grand Port, Mauritius and died on Nov 13, 1902 in Umbilo, Limpopo, S. Africa. (He married Marie Sylvanie Lousteau.) His 5 children are Louis Charles Poisson (1870-1947), Jeanne Hortansia LYDIA Poisson, born 1875; Jean Isaïe EMMANUEL Poisson (1880-1955); Pierre Elysee Moise (Moses) Poisson (1882-1918); and Joseph Fleury Marc Poisson (1885-1946).

Gladys Amelia Brenning (born April 1898 in Lancashire, England, died Feb 13, 1972 in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe) married my first cousin Charles Edward Poisson on July 1, 1925 in Germiston. They had no children and divorced in 1945.

Charles Edward Poisson (born 17 Apr 1899, died 28 Oct 1969 in Durban in the son of Louis Charles Poisson and grandson of Charles Melidor Poisson and Marie Sylvanie Lousteau) then married Mara Slier on June 4, 1946 and had Melanie Louisa Poisson, born Dec 15, 1948.

Melanie was married on Oct 13 1973 to Bruce Joscelyne (1946-2004) and they have a son named Brandon Craig Joscelyne, born in 1974.

Brandon married Joanne Clague and they have 2 children (Samuel and Jack).

Richard Desmond Poisson, born in Durban on 22 Nov 1929, died in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga on 24 Jan 2015. He is the son of Louis Arthur Poisson (1900-1948) and Christina Nicolas (1902-1983), grandson of Louis Charles Poisson with Louisa May Mollieres and great grandson of Charles Melidor Poisson with Marie Sylvanie Lousteau. Richard married Marion Phyllis Dolores Hanstein (1933-2000) in approximately 1953 and divorced her in 1956. He then married Jill Fowler (born 1936) on June 13, 1959. I don't know if they have children.

Louis Charles Poisson and Louisa May Mollieres had 10 children: May Louisa Sylvanie Poisson (1898-1911); Charles Edward Poisson (1899-1969); Louis Arthur Poisson (1900-1948); Eugene Alfred Poisson (1902-1949); Marguerite Maud Poisson (1904-1982); Marie Julia Poisson ((1905-1955); Esther Alice Poisson (1908-1979); Edith Irene Nancy Anne Poisson (1913-2001), Reginald George Poisson (born in 1915) and Ernest Leslie Poisson (1918-1978).

I don't know when Reginald George Poisson died.
