Biography

... ... ... has French origins.

Ursule (Fischer) Bournique has French origins.

On her marriage records a mistake was made the clergy recording the event. He wrote down her mother as Anne Andres instead of Anne Greiner. One her birth records on file with the Jesuits, Anne Greiner is clearly listed as her mother. Her sister, Anne Marie married Peter Andres and we think the clergyman confused Anne her sister with Anne her mother.

In the Stenger work listed in sources, Section for Glassworks at Wulfingerthal: The parish records of Marmoutier indicate three births between 1665 and 1670 to Vincent Fischer and Anne Greiner at "Wangenbourg und Glasshutt."

These parish registers reveal the presence of other glassworkers from 1658. The names Schwoerer (Schwerer) and Andres appear well known as glassmasters. In 1664 among the four glassmasters there were Georges Schwerer, Michel Andres, and Georges Spengler. After 1670 one finds other lines ¬Moser, Stenger, Shira (Gerard). In 1677 Elisabeth Schwerer, wife of Jean Georges Stenger gave birth to Jean whose godparents were Martin Scherard (Gerard) and Anne Andres. Names which we will find at Eigenthal, Troisfontaines, Harreberg, Kourtzerode-Waltembourg, Dannelbourg and others. It looks like the first founders of this glassworks were Georges Schwerer and Michel Andres who were later joined by Spengler, Fischer, Moser, Stenger and Gerard.

Date of death is not known. I have listed it as after 1715 because her daughter Anne Marie Bournique was born around then.
