Last update: October 13, 2014

Parents of Olive Landry were Benoni Landry and Gertrude Josse. Parents of Jean Beranger listed at marriage in Descousse in 1841 were listed as Andre Beranger and the late Catherine Clais?.

Notes: John died in 1873 at age 78. Olive died in 1858 at age 43.

Contradictory information for Marie Gertrude. 1-Record for Descousse shows marriage of Gertrude Beranger, oldest daughter of Jean Beranger and Olive Landry, Parish of River Bourgeois, to Firman Petitpas husband of late Marguerite Biret, Aug 13, 1866. 2-Record for Descousse shows death of Marie Gertrude Beranger in 1870 age 26 wife of Firman Petitpas (consistent with 1). Record for River Bourgeois shows marriage of Maria Beranger, daughter of Jean and Olive Landry, to Abraham Burke, son of Gilbert and Elizabeth Sampson, Jan 10, 1876 (this contradicts 1 and 2).

Note: There are two almost identical entries for Jacques Berthalemy Beranger, born Sept 11, 1916 and again Sept 11, 1917, followed by an entry for the birth of Charles Antoine, Jan 18,1918. Given the close proximity of the two later births and the fact that no death was recorded, it was concluded that the second birth entry was in error.

Note: The Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes for Nova Scotia lists Case E3150 Beranger James Bertram and Beranger Laura Elizabeth (but no date is listed in the index). Given that Beranger is such an unusual name it likely to be the above.
