Biography
Gilles, son of Jean Bourret and Marie D'Auguay, was born in the paroisse St Georges de la ville de Rouelle; 61700; Orne; Basse Normandie.[1]
Gilles migrated to New France in 1667. [1]
On Sept 9. 1673, Gilles, 31, entered into a marriage contract (notary Pierre Duquet de la Chesnaye) with 18-year-old, orphaned, Filles du Roi Anne Bellehache (1655-1718), daughter of Pierre Bellehache and Marie Burelle, at Charlesbourg. [2][3] [4] from the parish of St-Georges in the village of Rouelle, Normandy. Their marriage record has not been found. They established a home at Charlesbourg.
They had nine known children.[5]
- Marie Anne born Dec. 12, 1674, who married Ignace Leroux. She died August 12, 1735.
- Marie was born about 1676.
- Gilles was born about 1677.
- Jeanne was born March 9, 1678 and married André Bernier. She died Sept. 10, 1747.
- Francois was born June 10, 1683. He married first, Anne Paradis, then, Suzanne Proteau.
- Marie Catherine was born March 28, 1686. She married first, Pierre Germain, then, Jean Girard. She died June 14, 1754.
- Marie Anne was born Jan. 26, 1689. She married Jean Baptiste Proteau. She died Feb. 2, 1745.
- An un-named child that was born and died in 1691, most likley still born or died at birth.
- Antoinette was born about 1692.
The family is listed in the 1681 census living in the section of Charlesbourg called “Bourg Royal”. Gilles is recorded as 39 years old and Marie Bellehache, is listed at 29 years old. They have 3 children: Anne, 7 years old; Marie, 5 years old; Gilles, 3 years old. It appears an error that daughter Jeanne, who was born in 1678 is not listed on the census. The couple has 4 horned animals and 10 arpents of land in value.
In 1705, Gilles, and his wife Marie, donated land to their son "François Bourré dit Lépin.
- "Donation d'une terre sise au Bourg-Royal par Gilles Bourré dit Lépine (Bourret), habitant dudit lieu, et Marie Belache (Bellehache), sa femme; à François Bourré dit Lépine, leur fils; ladite donation est passée pardevant maître Genaple, notaire garde-notes du roi en la ville et Prévôté de Québec"[6]
In April 1712, there was a family dispute over the donation of land that went to court.
- "Jugement rendu par le juge prévôt Pierre Émard (Haimard) dans la cause opposant Gilles Bourret (Bourré), habitant du Bourg-Royal, et Marie Bellehache, sa femme, à Ignace Leroux, Jean Proteau, Jean Laurent dit Lortie, André Bernier et Marie-Catherine Bourret, femme de Jean Girard, navigateur, et ordonnance à l'effet que lesdits Gilles Bourret et Marie Bellehache sont autorisés à donner entre vifs une terre à François Bourret, leur fils, lequel sera ainsi en mesure de les nourrir et entretenir leur vie durant"[7]
In December 1712, there was a judgement against Gilles, and Marie in the amount of "huit livres et dix sols pendant"
- "Jugement rendu par le juge prévôt Pierre Émard (Haimard) en faveur de Jacques Pivin, demeurant au Gros-Pin, dans la cause l'opposant à Gilles Bourret (Bourré), habitant du Bourg-Royal, comparant par Marie Bellehache, sa femme, lequel est condamné à verser audit Jacques Pivin la somme de huit livres et dix sols pendant les fêtes de Noël au plus tard"
Marie died and was buried on Dec. 7, 1718 at Saint-Charles, Charlesbourg. [8]
On 12 January 1719, following Marie's death, the children were back in court.
- "Report de la sentence du juge prévôt Étienne Dubreuil dans la cause concernant la succession de la défunte Marie Bellehache, femme de Gilles Bourret (Bourré), opposant Jean-Baptiste Girard, comme ayant épousé Catherine Bourret, et Jean-Baptiste Laurent dit Lortie, comme ayant épousé Antoinette Bourret, demandeurs tant pour eux que pour les autres cohéritiers de ladite défunte, à François Bourret, mainlevée de la saisie des grains se trouvant dans la grange dudit Gilles Bourret, serment pris dudit François Bourret et ordonnance à l'effet qu'il rendra fidèlement compte des grains qu'il a battus et de ceux qui restent à battre, et ordonnance à l'effet que lesdits demandeurs présenteront leurs contrats de mariage"[9]
Gilles did not remarry and died Feb. 8, 1726, at Charlesbourg.[10]

So far, the baptism record has not been located. "Bourret" appears on notary acts, that might be as close as we can get to verify the spelling. His death record reads "Bouré". (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G99Q-SJRX?cc=1321742&wc=HCR8-T38%3A13626701%2C14469501%2C14469502)
There appears to be no reason to change the spelling of Gilles Bourret (abt.1642-1726) when merged. Adding a research note might be the best solution, pending further information.
There are also duplicates among the descendants of these two profiles.
