Greetings,
I'm in search of info regarding Laurent Caron and his 1st wife, Marguerite Payan(t)
dite St. Onge-my 3rd Gr-Grandparents.
Specifically, I do not know the places of birth or marriage, therefore I am unable to
confirm their ancestries. However, I know that they both died in Roxton Falls, Shefford,
Quebec (St-Jean-Baptiste). Laurent died 3/18/1895 and Marguerite died 6/2/1866.
Marguerite should have been born around 1833 and Laurent should have been born abt. 1817.
I'm guessing it was somewhere in the St. Hyacinthe area. They were likely married
between 1850-1855.
I believe that she and her husband had at least five children: Marie Jesse; Alice (b. abt.
1852 , d. 5/11/1885); Georges (b. abt. 1857, d. 7/19/1887); Alphonse (b. 4/25/1865); and
Elphege (d. 4/30/1871).
I can not locate the place of birth for these children (except Alphonse, who was born in
Roxton Falls), but nearly all died in Roxton Falls.
After Marguerite's death, Laurent Caron remarried Zoe Boisvert on 4/14/1872, also in
Roxton Falls.
Any help would be more than appreciated!
Bill
PS. Marie Jesse married Joseph Comptois & Georges married Vallerie Riel (my 2nd
gr-grandparents) on the same day: 9/21/1880; Alice married Honore Bonneau(?); and Alphonse
married Georgiana Petit 2/7/1885.
Georges's wife, Vallerie, remarried Amable DuBreuil on 3/4/1889.also in Roxton Falls.
She eventually ended up in Lowell, MA for 3 years before living in Lawrence, MA, where she
died 8/14/1923.
