Hello,

I'm looking for help finding the birth record and death record of my 4th great grandmother Eleonore Arpin whose parents were Louis Arpin and Rosalie LeClerc. Her family at the time attended St. Ours and later St. Pierre de Sorel. She married Bruce Cantara in 1844 in St. Pierre de Sorel and I have that record however I checked both parishes for her birth and cannot find it.

Thanks for any help you may be able to give!

Her husband use the first name Benoni Bruno Godfroy Cantara ......

In the census 1901 she gives 7 january 1921.....for birth....

I found a  Genevieve the first of january 1921...maybe i t s her...

Thank you so much! I think the birth record most likely is her, if I'm not mistaken the parents names are correct and if that is the listed birth date on the census it definitely makes sense. I wonder why she went by a different name

Éléonore Arpin

Née 09-02-1819 St-Ours, Qc

Reg b le même jour Honorat.

Honorat looks a good information because I found a marriage for Genevieve in 1845, so it s not her...sorry

Merci Aline pour votre info

It's definitely possible. I just wasn't sure if that was a males or females name!

In the act it s a female they said née.....in french it s for a girl and né it s for a male...

(Just in case you don t see it) 

Alain

At her marriage, Eleonore was of age, so born in 1823 or before.  Louis Arpin and Rosalie Leclerc had the following children before 1823 :  Louis in 1817, Honorat in 1819 and  Genevieve in 1821.  Pierre was the next in 1824.

Since Genevieve got married with George Saxter, Honorat is the only one remaining.  It can be a mispelling with Eleonora and the priest wrote Honorat.
