Thank you Kay! As you say, perhaps Justine (DESLAURIERS) PETITPAS, is aka Sally. I do not find any more likely possibilities. I have Justine's husband as Honore PETITPAS rather than Hubert. Was he listed in records under both of these names? As noted, next door is Justine's son, Simon H. PETITPAS & his wife Mary Victoria DESLAURIERS. With them is a widow listed as Gudy AGE. I believe this widow to be Judith BENOIT, widow of Guillaume/William EDGE. Note that Judith (BENOIT) EDGE was the maternal grandmother of Mary Victoria DESLAURIERS. 1881 census, Tracadie, Antigonish Co., Nova Scotia, Family History Library Film 1375812, NA Film no.
