Translation from French

Question

Can someone translate the last two paragraphs from a short history of the Belgian chateau that was the residence of my wife's great aunt, and her husband Nestor Docteur https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Docteur-25 ?

Thank you in advance if you are able to translate this.

Hi Steve,

It may be beneficial to edit your post to include the France tag (which is the suggested tag for France Project members to follow), in case some one who may be able to help you follows the France tag but not the French tag.

Answer 1

"Before the destruction [of the medieval castle] took place the battle of Rocourt [in 1746]. The French had taken a redoubt in Voroux, and [King] Louis XV was very well received in the first castle, from which it seems to remain only the kitchen chimney and underground passages, which were obstructed in 1918 by Mrs and Mr Docteur.

After that there were [dwellers named] du Vivier Notermann - Baron de Castres d'Yve Renard Deguise Keleton? Halbert - Gernaert - Docteur, some of them just tenants."

The last paragraph is just a list of names, not always clearly separated.

Note that since Nestor Docteur married in 1920, the Mrs and Mr Docteur mentioned in the note are more likely his parents.
