Marie Madeleine Louise Le Blan was born in Lille in 1906, the daughter of Gaston Le Blan and Marthe Gérard. Her grandfather was Paul Le Blan (1829-1910), married to Élise Houvenaghel (1838-1891). She married on 3 December 1938 to Robert Thion de la Chaume (1906-1970), grandson of René, Inspector of finances, bank manager in Indochina, fencer, descendant of Auguste Victor Thion de La Chaume, squire, King's Counselor, notary at the Châtelet of Paris. They had one daughter Jacqueline Thion de la Chaume (born 1932).
According to members of the French Resistance Alec de Castéja was a fool. He was arrested as being a De Gaullist and released through intervention by Alfred Kraus. Husband and wife, Emmeline "Emma" de Broglie were not in good terms. There was also much jealousy between Miss Elizabeth Rochester and Emma de Castéja; the rumor went that they both had an affair but that eventually Emma transferred her affection to Marie Thion de la Chaume. Emmeline de Broglie was suspected of working for German Intelligence. However another document in de Castéja's file referring to her brother-in-law Alfred Kraus mentions that she, along with Maximilienne (Baby) Boréa and Madame Thion de la Chaume, were involved in organizing the Resistance in the Lille area.
