Catherine Lamarche migrated from France to New France.
Catherine Lamarche
No parents are known for her as her marriage record has not yet been found. 1681 census gives her the age of 29. She gets recorded as Catherine on most records for her marriage, a single record named her Marguerite. Note that many records put her names as Lamare or de Lamare rather than Lamarche, including her funeral.
René Jetté in his treatise on genealogy (in French), has a section devoted to Jean François Billy and his wife, pgs 585-591.[1]
Catherine Marguerite Lamarche wed Jean Francois Billy in about 1671.[2]

Jean François de Billy seems to have returned to France to marry. He wed Catherine Marguerite Lamarche around 1671 in Sommereux, Beauvais diocese, Picardie, France[2][3].
