I believe this baptism record may be for your Louis Laurent (Date: Jan. 06, 1830).  The marriage record below is for the couple named in the original baptism record.

Also, in the original 1861 census, it looks like Louis and his parents are neighbors.  There is a Maxime in both households.

Answer 2

per his marriage record, he is son of Louis Laurent and Marie Duaime (Duhème probably)  ref Drouin collection on line, will put data on him in his profile for you as well as links to sources (membership based, sorry about that, but maybe you can find them on Family Search also)
