• Notes

  There are two Sara Bouthillier's that were christened at Caraquet within a short time of each other. The first is Sara Bouthillier the daughter of Edouard Bouthillier and Agathe Parise. She was christened 8 November 1828. The other Sara was christened as Marie Sara during November of 1829. The parents of this second Sara were Demier Bouthillier and Isabelle Genest [sic:Gionet]. According to the 1881 census of Caraquet (taken on 4 April of that year) Sara was 53 years old. This information would suggest that she was born between April 1828 and April 1829 which, in and of itself, tends to suggest that Sara was the daughter of Edouard Bouthillier and Agathe Parise. The information coming solely from the census calculation is not sufficient evidence to support the conclusion of parents, however, as errors in the reporting of ages was commonplace. Consequently other research has been undertaken to attempt to determine the correct parents of Sara Bouthillier. The parish registers of Caraquet were searched for burials of one of these two Sara's up to the approximate time of marriage of either of them, that is to say, up to 1850. A burial of Sara as being the wife of Jean Gionet was also searched for during the period following April 4, 1881 to the end of the register at 1883. Unfortunately, burials which occurred after 1850 disappear from the registers which are currently on hand. So this method of research has failed to produce any additional helpful information, such as the age at which Sara died. The marriage of Jean Gionet and Sara Bouthillier has also been researched. In order to determine a likely year of marriage for Jean Gionet and Sara Bouthillier the Caraquet register was searched for the earliest recorded christening of one of their children. That event occurred on 9 March 1848 with the birth of Marthe, a daughter. Godparents were Nazaire Lanteigne and Christine Gionet. The second child born was Magdeline Gionais who was christened on 31 March 1850. Godparents Raphael Albert and Odile Gionnais. Both of these christenings indicate that the child concerned was of the "legitimate marriage" of Jean Gionet and Sarah Bouthillier. Despite being able to narrow down a marriage date for Jean Gionet and Sara Bouthillier to approximately 1846 or 1847, unfortunately the register of Caraquet is lacking marriages for that time period. In fact the register is lacking all marriages between 1843 and 1848. This last mentioned fact also makes it impossible to quickly determine if the second Sara (Marie Sara) ever married. The promises of marriage contracted during the period 1843 to 1848 are included in the Caraquet register, although sporadically, and should be examined more closely. Next to be considered were the godparents who were present at the christening of Narcisse Gionet. Those sponsors were Gervais Moorai and Archange Cormier. Similarly, the godparents on christenings of any other children of Jean Gionet and Sara Bouthillier should be sought out, for it may be that the only certain method by which to identify the correct Sara Bouthillier will be to trace the parentage of the various godparents. Lastly, the marriage record of Narcisse Gionet and Marie Lanteigne indicates that they possessed a dual consanguineous relationship to each other - one of three to the fourth degree, and the other, of the fourth to the fourth degree. This indicates that Narcisse Gionet and Marie Lanteigne shared at least one common great-grandparent as well as at least one common great-great-grandparent. If an examination of the godparents present at the christening of Jean Gionet and Sara Bouthillier's children fails to produce conclusive evidence of Sara's own origins, then the only remaining method for such determination will come via a thorough research into the lineage of both Narcisse Gionet and his wife, Marie Lanteigne. For the interim, however, the parents of Sara Bouthillier have been shown as Damien Bouthillier and Isabelle Gionet.
