The Lauzon Family

The Lauzon family in the latest generation were living at Sturgeon Falls ON. Joseph Télésphore Augustin Lauzon was baptized 11 May 1891 at Notre Dame de la Salette in Papineau and the son of Augustin Lauzon and Hélèna Brunet who were married 17 Sep 1889 at Notre Dame de la Salette. Télésphore married Mary Dora Lanoie 23 May 1910 at Sturgeon Falls.

Augustin Lauzon was baptized 21 Oct 1865 at St Grégoire de Nazianze in Buckingham and the son of  Joseph Lauzon and Rosalie Thibaut. Joseph and Rosalie were married 26 Nov 1860 at St Grégoire de Nazianze.

Joseph was the son of Joseph Augustin Lauzon and Clémence Chaumont who were themselves married 24 Feb 1829 at Ste Anne des Plaines, Terrebonne. Joseph died 18 Mar 1893 at Ottawa ON.

Joseph Augustin Lauzon was born at Terrebonne (baptism to be found) and the son of Joseph Lauzon and Marie Catherine Fontigney dite St Jean. Joseph and Marie Catherine were married 30 Jul 1781 at Terrebonne. Joseph was baptized 3 Dec 1754 at Ste Rose and the son of Gilles Lauzon and Marie Anne Viau dit Lesperance who were themselves married 7 Feb 1752 at Rivière des Prairies near Montréal. Gilles was baptized 29 Jan 1723 at Rivière des Prairies.

Tanguay also verifies the marriage of Joseph Augustin and Marie Catherine in 1781 and then the father of Joseph Augustin as Gilles Lauzon married to Marie Anne Viau dit Lesperance. Gilles parents were Gilles Lauzon and Marie-Anne Groulx who married 25 Nov 1709 at Rivière des Prairies. This Gilles' parents were Gilles Lauzon and Marie Archambault who married 27 Nov 1656 at Montréal. Gilles was born in France and so he is Generation 1 in New France.

The present generation is descended from three sons of Gilles Lauzon and Marie Archambault.

Gilles married Marie-Anne Groulx (as above). Their son Gilles as above is Generation 2. Their daughter Catherine Lauzon married François Guerin dit Laneuville 29 Jan 1748 at Rivière des Prairies and is in Generation 2.

Michel Lauzon married Marie Anne Coiteux dit St Jean 15 Mar 1702 at Pointe aux Trembles and is Generation 2. Three of their children are ancestors of the present generation. Marie Anne Lauzon married Joseph Rouleau 21 Jan 1737 at Rivière des Prairies and is Generation 2. Marie Josephte Lauzon married Joseph Biroleau dit Lafleur 22 Jan 1731 at Riviére des Prairies and is Generation 2. Pierre Lauzon married Marie Jeanne Roy 12 Oct 1732 at Pointe Claire and is Generation 2 and their daughter Marie Jeanne Lauzon married Louis Daragon 8 Feb 1779 at Ste Geneviève (Pierrefonds) and is Generation 3.

Paul Lauzon married Marie Anne Quenneville 4 Nov 1697 at Basilique de Notre Dame, Montréal and is Generation 2. Two of their daughters are ancestors of the present generation. Madeleine Marie Lauzon married Pierre Brien dit Desrochers 12 Jan 1739 at Rivière des Prairies and is Generation 3. Marie Catherine Lauzon married François Chartran 20 Oct 1732 at Rivière des Prairies and is Generation 3.

Gilles Lauzon married to Marie Anne Viau dit Lesperance is Generation 3.

Joseph Lauzon married to Marie Catherine Fontigney dite St Jean is Generation 4.

Joseph Augustin Lauzon married to Clémence Chaumont is Generation 5.

Joseph Lauzon married to Rosalie Thibaut is Generation 6.

Augustin Lauzin married to Hélèna Brunet is Generation 7.

Joseph Telesphore Augustin Lauzon married to Mary Dora Lanoie is Generation 8. Their daughter is Generation 9.

Work to be done on the Lauzon family includes collecting all the baptism, marriage and burial records plus the census returns.

Buller family

Every once in a while I search on my Buller family. My grandmother, Ellen Rosina Buller was born 20 May 1886 at Birmingham Warwick the daughter of Edwin Denner Buller (b 8 Apr 1850 Birmingham) and Ellen Taylor (possibly born 9 Oct 1859 at Birmingham). Edwin had a brother Clement Charles Buller born Dec quarter 1856 Aston nr Birmingham. I found a short newspaper clipping from Uganda in 1888 which mentioned Clement Charles Buller (released from bankruptcy). I know that Clement Charles Buller was a Jeweller's clerk on the 1871 census but until now I knew nothing more about him from that date onwards. He literally disappears from the British Census after 1871 so it would appear perhaps that he went to Africa. Is there a clue in that for Edwin Buller? Edwin looked like he was a gunner at Woolwich in the Royal Artillery but Find My Past has now put up the records for the men who were chelsea pensioners after 1885 and the individual at Woolwich is Edwin Baller (mis read as Buller) who was actually born at Westmoreland but enlisted at Birmingham and claimed his birthplace as Aston and birth year as 1850. Why he did that is a mystery but he is still alive on the 1901 census so can not be my great grandfather who died in 1899.

That was good news and bad news. Bad because the Edwin Buller at Woolwich made my life easier although I couldn't find information until now on him :) . The good news is that I can continue looking for information on my great grandfather to try to solve the puzzle of where he was from the 1861 census where he is with his grandmother Sarah (Cheatle) Welch to the 1886 birth of my grandmother and he is on the 1891 census at Birmingham.

My grandmother had told me about this tall gentleman who walked with a cane from a leg injury (and the military aspect suited that but he never claimed to be a Chelsea Pensioner). I have stories that he was a policeman and I shall perhaps pursue that thought now. But I do know his occupation on the 1891 census of drover and journey soap maker. He always seems to have two occupations and my grandmother did say that he worked very hard.

Enough of that for today though I think. I always have this vague tale that he was in Africa so perhaps was there with his brother but returned home to England in the mid 1880s.

I have also been working on some of the French Canadian lines of our son in law. I have made a few good breakthroughs where it appeared like a dead end in terms of searching. One of my most recent finds was the parents of Octavie Lavigne who married Jean Baptiste Lagarde dit St-Jean 8 Nov 1875 at Ste Scholastique, Deux-Montagnes. Her parents were Hyacinthe Lavigne and Josephte Potvin. I could not find a marriage for this couple initially but finally did find that Hyacinthe's surname was Lavigne dit Poudret and Josephte's surname was d'Amour dite Potvin. They married 1 Oct 1838 at St Benoit and their marriage revealed the names of their parents.

Hyacinthe Lavigne dit Poudret parents: Augustin Poudrette dit Lavigne and Josephte Labrosse dite Raymond who married 18 Feb 1811 at St Benoit. Their marriage lines revealed the names of their parents.

Josephte d'Amour dite Potvin parents: Nicolas d'Amour dit Potvin and Rosalie Marie Beauchamp who married 14 Feb 1814 at St Eustache. I have read the names of Nicolas' parents from the marriage registration.

Nicolas d'Amour dite Potvin parents: Pierre d'Amour dit Potvin and Marie Anne Legault dite Deslauriers and they married 22 Oct 1770 at Lachine.

Augustin Poudrette dit Lavigne parents: Joseph Marie Poudret dit Lavigne and Marie Angélique Ranger dite Laviolette who married 17 Jan 1774 at Ste Geneviève.

Josephte Labrosse dite Raymond parents: Joachim Labrosse dit Raymond and Judith Marie Groulx who married 7 Aug 1775 at St Laurent.

I will continue searching back on these lines but it was indeed a good breakthrough for me as this has been a brickwall that I couldn't appear to solve. Interestingly the breakthrough came as a result of looking up the marriage of Jean Baptiste Lagarde dit St-Jean and Octavie Lavigne on the LDS Family Search website. I then went back to Ancestry and pulled the marriages.
