Marguerite Guenette of St Claire

Marguerite Guenette of St Claire

I am researching a man called Laurent Moore. He was adopted
by Marguerite Guenette and Joseph Blais around 1848. He married Celanire Gagnon . Laurent was a baker as well as Marguerite (at least I believe so). He sometimes signed his name Laurent Maure. This mans real name was Laurence Moore according to my mother (his great grandchild).
He was Scottish according to my mother and likely came on an Irish coffin ship as both parents died on the trip over. Unfortunately Laurent Moore (Laurent Maure) (Laurence Moore)
died young from injury he received during a robbery.Note: I am aware of the French wedding announcement between Laurent and Celanire . This document is not correct.Anyway I thought if I turned my attention to the family of Marguerite Guenette they may have more information about this young man.

Hello:

It may be difficult to locate some Guenette or Blais who would know about this person.

He went by Laurent but for the marriag of one of his two daughters, he was known as Laurent Justinien Moore.
His daughters were married in 1886 (Beauce) and 1889 in Matapedia region.

No record of any male descendant who got married.

I would think that Celanire remarried but so far I have not found a marriage record for her. There are several Celanire Gagnon.

For that period, in Quebec, we do not have a province-wide death registry, unfortunately.

Given that Laurent got killed, there would not be a trial associated with this event.

Are you a descendant of Laurent? I have not family relationship to those families.

Je vous remercie pour votre réponse ,

Laurent Moore was my arrière-grand-père. Laurent married Celanire Gagnon and had a daughter Pamelia Moore. Pamelia married Adelard Marion. One of their quatorze children was moi mère , Beatrice Marion from Ontario. My surname is Brunet and I descend from Pierre Brunet from Quebec.
I do know Laurent was not French by birth.
I was hoping some one from St. Claire would know of his history.
Merci beaucoup,
Marc Brunet

bonjour Marc,

As daughters of Laurent who got married, I have found:

a. Joséphine who married Elzear Charette, 8 Jan 1889 in Matapedia; and
b. Marie Éva who married Jos. Edouard Roy, on 10 Aug 1886 in Ste-Claire.

No such record in BMS2000 for Pamelia. No marriage records for his sons, if any, unless married outside Québec.

Here is a record of the marriage between Adelard Marion and Pamelia Moore on ancestry.com
Name: Parmelia Moore
Birth Place: Ottawa, Ontario
Age: 18
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1881
Father Name: Laurent Moore
Mother Name: Celanie Gagnon
Spouse Name: Adelard Marion
Spouse's Age: 18
Spouse Birth Year: abt 1881
Spouse Birth Place: Russell, Ontario
Spouse Father Name: Seraphin Marion
Spouse Mother Name: Olinda Landry
Marriage Date: 4 Jul 1899
Marriage County or District: Russell

What I am trying to solve is Where was Laurent Moore born? Who were his parents? What happened to his two younger sisters when he was orphaned in Quebec at the age of 10 in about 1847 and adopted (or cared for) by Marguerite Guenette.

I will see if I can contact the families of the Pamelia's sisters and see if those families have more information.

Mais encore une fois Merci pour votre aide

Marc
