Hello all, I came across this death record and I'm unable to connect this family. Can anyone clarify the parents of John B. DesLAURIER and Mary BENOIT? Anna DesLAURIER d. 6 Feb 1866 Tor Bay, Guysborough Co, listed as age 79 [implies b. 1787], born Tracadie, Antigonish Co., widow, dau. of John B. DesLAURIER & Mary BENOIT.

I believe this is Anne Jacquet dit DesLauriers, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Jacquet dit DesLauriers and Anne Coste, who married Luc Girouard (Girror or other spellings). See Mary Ferguson's site at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mjfergus&id=I120 <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mjfergus&id=I120> Looking at Pierre Girouard's site at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=pierregirouard&id=I5276 <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=pierregirouard&id=I5276> we see that roughly the first half of their children were born in the Tracadie area and the second half in the Tor bay area. So how do I account for the mother given as Mary BENOIT versus Anne Coste? Well, the person supplying the information appears to be Charles Pelerine, to whom I cannot find a connection to Anne Jacquet dit DesLauriers, so I'm presuming even if he is a relative, he is fairly distantly removed and could easily have made a mistake.
