Feliks Rachanski died 11 August 1831

When Feliks Rachanski died at 9 months old -- his father predeceased him by one month. His father was a likely casualty of the November Uprising. Ewa nee Wiśniewska (my 3rd great grandmother) and her husband Wincenty Rachinski only had one child together. When he died at nine months old, his father was already deceased. Wincenty’s death is referred to in Felik’s death record but I was unable to find a death record for Wincenty. Feliks Rachanski (my second great grand uncle) died on 11 August 1831 at 3 o’clock in the morning. His parents Wincenty Rachinski and Ewa nee Wiśniewska (my 3x great grandmother) were only married about a year and a half. While his mother Ewa was from Tomaszow Lubelski and that is where they were married, Feliks was born in Krynice and the birth was registered in the parish of Łabunie, Krynice is 16 kilometers ( a little under 10 miles) north of Tomaszów Lubelski. His father was a 23 year old shoemaker, living in Krynice and his mother was 22 years old. One witness that reported the death was Błażej Wiśniowski, his grandfather. Błażej was 68 years old and was working as a tanner. He had previously worked as a potter and sometimes worked as a gravedigger. The other witness was Maciej Swiderek , church Sexton, 46. Later on, Ewa was back in Tomaszow after the death of her husband, living with her father since her mother was deceased. Six years later, Ewa married Jozef Kurkiewicz (my 3x great grandfather.) While there was an Asiatic cholera epidemic along with influenza, it is possible that Wincenty died during the November Uprising battle that occurred near where they lived. “In July 1831, during the November Uprising, a siege and a blockade of Zamość began by 12,000 people. tsarist soldiers led by General Kajsarow. Polish troops commanded by Major Dominik Bulewski and Major Wincenty Szymański, defending the Zamość fortress, fought a victorious skirmish with the Russian army near Krynice.”https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=pl&u=http://roztoczewita.pl/krynice/&prev=search&pto=aue ***** Timeline: ***** Jan 17 1930 Wincenty and Ewa marry in Tomaszów Lubelski ***** Oct 24, 1930 Feliks is born in Krynice ***** July 1831 November Uprising ***** August 11 1831 Feliks dies in Tomaszów Lubelski and his father has already died --------------------------------------- It happened in the village Łabunie, at 24th October 1830, at 7 in the evening.
