Looking for death record of Esther (Durand) Nault

I am trying to find the death date and location of my great great great great grandmother, Esther (Durand) Nault.  Can anybody help?

I have 1906 as a death year, and Barton, Orleans, Vermont as the place, but I cannot find the sources to back this up.  It is also possible that she died in Quebec.

You might explore some of these free Quebec resources:

http://bibnum2.banq.qc.ca/bna/dicoGenealogie/

http://www.biographi.ca/en/ (perhaps the name would hit in some of their collection)

Here is the resource list from Family Search but many of these links are invalid: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Quebec_Online_Genealogy_Records

hi Brian, looking over the family in Drouin, they have children marrying in Warwick (St-Médard) up to 1874 where they are listed as residents of Warwick.  On 21 June 1889 their son George Naud marries, again in Warwick, with his parents being recorded as residents of ''Barton, États Unis''.  This is the last mention I find of her or her husband in this province.

I just checked the records for Warwick for 1906, she is not among those buried there that year.  

I tracked the family geographically per baptisms of children etc, they marry in St-Pierre-les-Becquets, then have baptisms in St-Pierre-les-Becquets, St-Stanislas, one in Ste-Geneviève-de-Batiscan, and St-Tite.  All of which are on north shore of St-Lawrence, the last such on Nov 1860.   https://www.genealogiequebec.com/fr/LAFRANCE/carte/1105 map IGD (free access)

The marriages of the children start in 1871, and except for the last one in 1889 the couple is living in Warwick.  Which is on south side of St-Lawrence.

Have you found them on census records anywhere?

Thanks for looking, Danielle.  I have found census records for them, which you can find in the source sections on their profiles.  However, the latest I found was the 1881 Canada census - I would expect at least Esther to appear on the 1900 US or 1891 or 1901 Canada censuses but I have not had any luck finding her yet.
Esther is actually not the easy one, she is with her husband on 1881 census (added the BAC-LAC link to Augustin's profile), along with their son Jeffrey.  But considering that census people listed women by ''married name'', makes for poor search results.  Found one Esther Nault in 1891, but verified it was the wrong woman.  Esther Fournier that one, not Durand.

Looks like the whole family pretty well moved south, filled in data on known children on Augustin's profile for you, there are some extra ones to those you have listed already.
