Laplant help

Question

NEED SOME ASSISTANCE
  family bible and sources i am finding so far do not match up i am working from.
 some records mom had started in a genealogy program plus various family letters and
 various info has is charles (husband of cordelia longeway) born 1838 son of louis laplante , sohie royer , charles married 1866, died 1921  ( all childrens birth records list charles and cordelia for parents and various records for cordelia show name differently  delia - adelia - adaline  and her madien name mispelled various ways depending how person heard it due to french accent)
 
  here is problem for birth
    Louis and sophie did not marry until 1839 in St.Hyacinthe so charles would have been out of wedlock
    only 1838 i have found so far is charles born son of charles laplate dit champange , christine Andegrave in St-Eustache
    plus moms information shows he was born St charles so both these don't match

   Vermont archives show his age at time of marriage in westfield vermont 1866 as age 25 and wife spelled as  Adaline Lancoy ( inconsistent style cursive on record) this makes his year of birth 1841 not 1838 fathers name spelled Lewis laplante

   record for death some one lists father as  Abram laplante and birth date  1838

his wife cordelia is as much a mess, between  the french accent poor spelling or writting of person taking down records they make it enough to want to pull hair out and i am going cross eyed translating records

Hi David,

I checked the profile, you have a date of birth entered there but i can find no match for a Charles born to these parents, and no such date of birth for a Charles Plante or Laplante in Drouin collection.  Not that it does not exist, just not findable.  And the place name of St-Charles is too vague, can't narrow things down from that as not clear if it was a town name or parish name.  The people you name as being listed as his parents marry in St-Hyacinthe.

Now when you say he is given the age of 25 on his marriage record, those are almost always estimations in those time periods.  Death records get even more inaccurate, particularly as to names of parents when a person was not born locally.  Have you tried searching census records for him?  And immigration records?

Yes  that is just what i am running into correlation of the information that matches. any of the vermont,united states records on file each has close but varied information that conflicts one way or another. as soon as i go back to canada to research more it dead ends because date and places don't match up .

  i am still searching a large  pile of books and paper work mom had, she had his actual military  service and pension records from the government archives and as yet i cannot find the book that i believe it is tucked in ( a civil war journal ) so far browsing parish records i have spent about 60 hours on charles and on his wife looking for records. so took a break now running into same thing on Benoit side.

 I did find the marriage records for Louis and sophie and did translate it and still checking down this line and further back to see is he had another wife prior to sophie

 i did find one possible reference the parent Charles Laplante and and Christine Andegrave  that showed his name also as louis charles laplant so he may have remarried later to a sophie royer.... so still plugging at digging up bones.

  thank you for response

I checked Drouin, Charles Laplante who marries Christine Andegrave is definitely not the same man as the one who married Sophie Royer, different parents cited for them on marriage records.

what i am doing now is tracing charles and christine son to see if he may be the charles laplant in my ancestors.  Because one reference i found is charles husband of christine was also recorded as louis charles laplant so it could be birth name versus baptisted name so i am just eliminating possible leads.

  i did find one additional bit of info on charles husband of cordelia , census shows charles Immigration Year: 1853 in 1910 US census - and 1855 in 1920 US census.

 so i am tracing down and charles laplants born in canada that were still in canada after the time frame of 1862 when he was in union army and double checking all parents one at a time. then will go back to 1850 to 1860 era to do same

 Plus the 1880 census in vermont shows cordelia's mother living with them and as normal they spelled name wrong cordelias mother name was  Tirzah and they spelled it in census terssa

 i will eventually find it i just didnt know if someone had some translated  parish records or sources i may have missed  while researching that could shed light on charles's parents

Hi, David.

Are you still looking for info on Charles? I have his line and documentation. Let me know if you’re interested.

I emailed you (using a conversation we had from years ago) but I’m not sure if you’re still using that address.

Couple more options, there are quite a few Charles Plante as well that could fit the profile.

Charles Laplante son of Charles and Euphrosine Audette dite Lapointe b.19 Nov 1835 Ste-Claire (Dorchester).

Charles Edouard Tessier dit Laplante son of Edouard and Judith Giroux b. 17 Feb 1838 Beauport.
