Thank you Etienne for your help. I appreciate you sharing your time and expertise. Would you please explain, if you are able, the meaning of "sent 7 June 1762". Anne Catherine died in 1738. What would be happening 24 years after her death?

The death records of Boulay often mention in the margin "expédié/send". I think this means that a copy of the death record was send 7 June 1762 to an administrative instance/to a clerc who needed this document. Perhaps an other family event took place at that time (around June 1762)?
