Research Notes

Birth date

No baptism record for Louis Fournier was found in Catholic Church records of Quebec and Ontario provinces. Here is what we know:

• There is a baptism record for Luc Fournier, son of Louis Joseph Fournier and Marie-Claire Drugeot, in Saint-Laurent (Montreal) dated 29 MAY 1783. There is no other record in Catholic church for him in Quebec and Ontario provinces. We can hypothesize that Luc Fournier could be either the first name at birth of Louis or his brother Pierre Fournier.
• Louis Fournier was adult when he married Marie-Louise Leduc on February 1, 1802. Age of majority in Lower-Canada in 1802 is 21. If the priest who record the marriage was accurate, Louis has to be born before February 1, 1781.
• Burial record states he was 69 years old when he died. That would mean he was born between 15 FEB 1786 and 14 FEB 1787.

Burial record

Burial record of 15 FEB 1856 mentions no wive, and an eldest son named Anthony. We can ask ourselves if it concerns the right Louis:

• In 1856, Louis has three sons alive: Pierre (eldest), Louis and Antoine (youngest). Louis was raising his family in Saint-André-Avellin. His sons Pierre and Antoine were raising their family in Prescott and Russell county. Anthony is the english version of Antoine.
• I also done negative searches for other Louis Fournier who had sons named Antoine or Anthony. I found two potential candidates but they did not match wive name, years and locations.
