Pierre Theriault and Salomee Degresley - Caraquet or New Bandon Parish

Pierre Theriault and Salomee Degresley - Caraquet or New Bandon Parish

HI All

I am looking for the birth date and the death dates for the couple mentioned above.
Pierre Theriault married Salomee DeGresley on 11 Oct 1858 (found in the Caraquet register)

But working back I cannot find either one of their births and working forward I cannot find their deaths either!

Pierre is the son of Sabastien Theriault and Felicite Landry
Salomee is the daughter of Francois LeGresley and Marguerite Landry

I suspect it is a case of transcription error with the spellings of their names or variant spellings in the registers plus the Caraquet Register is hard to decipher!!!

I found who I think is them on the 1871 Canadian Census in New Bandon Parish
I think Salomee dies before the 1881 and Pierre marries again plus I believe Salomee was his second wife to start with.

Anyone able to lend a hand as I certainly appreciate the help

I found Pierre in the 1861 census of Collections Canada under HRENES PETER in New Bandon. Don't ask, sometimes the transciptions are unbelievable. Sebastien, his father, lives with them.

I also think that he married before in 1851 Venerande Poirier,daughter of Hubert Poirier in New Bandon. That would explain the daughter Sarah, 8 years old in Census 1861.

Thanks Ginette for your hard work...

As I too found "PETER HRENES", after an exhaustive search (playing how they might transcribe that surname...) and thought it must be Pierre but yes, *OMG* this surname takes on a life of its own in the records: Theriau, Theriault, Therriault, Tarrio, Terrio but on this 1861 Census I saw Therriean, Therrican, Therrieau and the not so obvious Harris and then Hrenes ...

Also the daughters names : Sara and Margret well, in 1871 they are Seraphy and Felicite and the wife Salome well, she is obviously Sarah on the 1861 and then in 1871 she is Marie. By the 1881 Pierre is a Widow.

So I am no closer to finding a birth or death for this couple though and given the trouble in the census I suspect they are not transcribed properly in any documentation this compounded by what first name to look for!!. I found Salmoe's parents Francois and Marguerite on the 1861 transcribed as Le Greasy ... that name too gets quite a number of variations.
