Jules Henri Lachance, born 28 Aug 1893 at La Passe was the son of Hubert Lachance and Sara Anne Robert. I am unaware of Hubert having married AFTER the marriage to Sara Anne Robert.

Sara Anne was his 2nd wife whom he married on 12 Sep 1892 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, La Passe, Ontario. The record clearly shows he is a widow at the time of this marriage. For Sara it was her first marriage as she is listed as a “spinster”.

Hubert Lachance did have another marriage BEFORE Sara. He married Henriette Lamarche, daughter of Stanislas Lamarche and Catherine Brady, on 15 Oct 1878 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, La Passe, Ontario. Henriette died 11 Feb 1892 and was buried 13 Feb 1892 at La Passe.

It appears that Hubert and Henriette had at least 7 children before she died, the last one having been born and died in December 1891.

Hope this helps.

I am looking for more information re. the Jules Lachance, Ida May Rose Lines upwards.
My grandfather was Wilmer Lachance(married to Mable May Michaelis, parents of William Lachance, James Barry Lachance and Gloria May Lachance), son of Jules and Ida. So far I have located information which suggests that Jules' parents were Hubert Lachance and Sara Robert...does this coralate with information that you have...also...I am under the impression that Jules' father had a second marriage following the death of his first wife. I have quite a bit of family aquired information regarding the Jules\Ida lines down...but anything that you have may help me to update my own records. Thanks.

See you have Mary E. Calliott LaChance m to James Matthew Henry and I have their daughter Frances Eleanor Henry m to Isaac Berney Watson who is part of my line. Stumbled onto your post while looking for a Louis LaChance that lived with the Watsons in Madison Co.,Mo in the 1900 census. Mr. Henry seems to have had 3 marriages, Mary LaChance being the 2nd. Just wondered if you are interested in this family.

"La descendance d'Antoine Pepin dit Lachance et de Marie Teste" was published in 1998 by the Association des Familles Pepin, Inc.

Their website is: http://pepinlachancelaforce.com

The books (all 8 of them) are still available for $450 (Canadian, I am assuming).

If you would like assistance with the Lachance family, I'm more than willing to help.

Lachance / Paterson of Canada

Irishgirl355 — 2010-08-29 14:10:48Z

Someone had given me the information of Marion Paterson, daughter of William Paterson b. 1890 in Scotland and Helen Ginther. There is a military record in Canada of this William Paterson dated 1914 and listed as not married. So, they were married something after 1914. Supposedly they had one daughter by the name of Marion who married a Lachance.
I am assuming this all took place in Canada.

Irene Y. (Lessard) Lachance, 88, of Nashua passed away on July 31, 2010, at the Greenbriar Terrace.
Irene was born in Nashua on September 28, 1921, a daughter of the late Aldege & Lydia (Belanger) Lessard. She was the widow of Roland G. Lachance who died May 26, 2008. They had shared almost 65 years of marriage.

She had been employed by the International Shoe, Co., Doehla Greeting Cards, The Card Shop and prior to her retirement, from McLaughlin Moving & Storage from 1961 to 1981.

She had completed over 100 afghans during her lifetime. Her many creations adorn not only her home but those of family and friends. Irene had been very involved with the Salvation Army Auxiliary in Nashua from 1992 to 2006 and received several awards in recognition of her continuous support and many hours of volunteer work. She was an avid reader, a card player and a word puzzle enthusiast. She enjoyed visiting family and friends. Irene was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who will be greatly missed by all who have known her. She was a communicant of St. Louis de Gonzague Church. Irene was predeceased by a sister, Pearl St. Hilaire.
Irene is survived by; Three daughters: Dolores Charpentier of Nashua, Lydia Lachance of Manchester and Doris Dubois of Merrimack. One son: Gerard “Jerry” Lachance of Hancock, ME.

Honore (aka Henri) LACHANCE & Philomene DESCHAMPS (Michigan & New Hampshire)

ljlachance — 2010-07-31 15:58:42Z

Honore LACHANCE, also known as Henri, married Philomene DESCHAMPS in Iosco County Michigan, 10 JULY 1883. They had at least five children, three of which died before the age of 2 years. One, Joseph LACHANCE, born 14 APRIL 1891 in Oscoda, Iosco County, Michigan, went on to marry Marie BILODEAU (don't know where). Joseph died in 1971.

Honore LACHANCE, based on the age recorded at the time of his marriage (28 years) would appear to have been born sometime around 1855. It is assumed that he was born in Quebec but not proven.

At some point, Honore/Henri LACHANCE died, sometime between 05 MARCH 1895 AND 21 JAN 1898, possibly at Hurley, Wisconsin and Philomene returned to Quebec where she married again, Philias DENAULT on 21 JAN 1898. From there, the couple move to Nashua, NH and had at least three more children, Donald, Lydia and Albert. Philomene died 24 OCT 1924 in Hudson, NH at the age of 61. Philias DENAULT married again, this time to a widow, Marie (BOUCHER) MARQUIS.

All said, I am trying to find the parents of Honore/Henri LACHANCE as well as his birth date/place and his place of death and burial.

Anyone with information about the LACHANCE side of this family, please contact me directly Larry AT lachance dot org

That would make Paul and Grant, 2nd cousins I believe. Thankyou for your information, the Indian connection fascinates me as we both Grant and Victoria (my wife) are very dark skinned.
Grant was brought up at 48 Verwood Avenue in Kingston, oNtario and his dad was born in Gananoque.

I have some press clippings of Julius and Laura's fatal accident I would love to send you. Do you know why Laura was known as Laura, when on her wedding cert it states Lorreta!?

My husband, Paul LaChance is the grandson of Edward LaChance, Julius LaChance's younger brother. Family lore has it that once Julius and his wife fell through the ice, their children were sent out to distant relatives across Canada and the family farm on Howe Island was sold for back taxes. Where did your father in law grow up? Also, family legend has it that when Edward LaChance wanted to marry his wife, Stella O'Brien from Gananoque, the O'Brien family had reservations because the LaChances had "Indian blood". Have you found out any more information in your search?

My great great grandfather was Jacob La Test married to Rose or Rosa; they lived in Toledo, Ohio (Lucas Co)per 1880-1890-1900 census'.
Their daughters were Rose or Rosa, Fannie, Emma and Millie. Fannie was my greatgrandmother; her son George married Charlotte Marie Kelly and their children were Lenore, Mary (my ma) and Patrick. Fannie married Frank Doner sometime @ 1900 and that's all I have on this family. Does this sound familiar to anyone, if so please respond.

I'm looking for a connection to Gervais Pepin dit LaChance who was possibly married to Caroline Caron in St.Genevieve, MO. They had two daughters, both who appear to have married Aubuchon's.

I have a Gervais Pepin (Papin?) dit LaChance in my family line that came from St. Genevieve. I'm also searching for DeRousse, Aubuchon, and Janis.

And, can someone help me...what does 'dit' mean?

Thanks.
