Naissance:
Elle est née vers 1584 dans le Maine. (PREFEN Fiche 14419, Notice)
Mariage:
Avant 1605, Marguerite Launay épousa Louis Gagné, fils de Christophe Gasnier, (PREFEN Fiche 14419).
Enfants connus / Known children: Marie Launay & Louis Gasnier:
- 1. Noël Gasnier (1605 - )
- 2. Jacques Gasnier (1607 - )
- 3. +Pierre Gasnier (1610 - 1656)
- 4. +Louis Gagné (1612 - 1661)
Décès:
Elle fut inhumée le 9 avril 1640[4] selon son acte de sépulture au dossier d'archives numérisé sur Fichier Origine 241615, à Saint-Côsme-de-Vair dans le diocèse de Séez et l'ancienne province du Maine.[5].
Origines litigieuses
Les parents de Marie Marguerite Launay ne sont pas connus. Certaines génalogies en ligne en font la fille de Louise Gory et d'un certain Pierre Launay, et donc la demi-soeur de Marie Madeleine Michel. Aucune source valable ne le confirme, et c'est par ailleurs peu probable, étant donné la différence d'âge de plus de 35 ans entre Marie Marguerite Launay et Marie Madeleine Michel.
Disputed origins
Marie Marguerite Launay's parents are unknown. Some online genealogies give them as Louise Gory and Pierre Launay, making Marie Marguerite a half-sister of Marie Madeleine Michel. This is not confirmed by any reliable source, and is also quite unlikely given the age difference (more than 35 years) between Marie Marguerite Launay and Marie Madeleine Michel.
Research notes
- In the primary parish records; i.e. children's baptisms and her burial record, she is known only by the name Marie. A source for 'Marguerite' should be specified if one is known.
- Prefen recorded Marie's DOD as May 17, 1643. This appears to be an error. There is an entry for Marie Launay on that date. See 1643 Record. There is also a 1640 record that supports the Fichier DOD (1640) requires additional review. [4]. Perhaps others can read the handwriting.
- The 1640 marriage record for Louis and Noëlle Chevalier can be viewed at [6]. Uncertain if this is the father or son. If Marie (the father's first wife died in 1640), it is likely the father's second marriage. At the time, son Louis was married, to, and having children with, Marie Michel (abt.1620-1687).

As for the marriage record, Fichier Origine shows it as a second marriage for the widowed father, which is contingent upon his first wife's death earlier in 1640. The marriage record notes only that Louis was of Saint-Cosme-de-Vert supporting this identification. His own burial record does not mention the name of a wife or widow.
