I was wondering if anyone new how to find soilders in France between the times of 1722-1749

I know The King ordered my greatx6 grandfather Edme along with others to come over to Quebec to help start the new frnace. He married in 1749 which i found his marriage certificate but i CANNOT find any more information than his parents and that's it.

Since i know he was soilder im trying to find a list or some webstie i could find some more information on him but nothings turned up.

here is what i know

Edme vervet dit st. amour(vervet was chagned to vervais)
b 1722/21
F: Antoine vervet
M: Elizaebth Blassiere de marchet(not sure on the de marchet part)
M: 8/18/1749 to Marie Anne Vivier in Notre-dame


Now he was a soilder for M.Celoron. I don't know if that is the regiment or area. Also it mentioned Dioccese de Laon. I think that might be the area or church. Im trying to look up everything but im not finding much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Alexandra
