Marie Louise Sanon

Although we have mostly exhausted the vital records from Bainet available on the Family Search site, we did come across the probable mother of our great-great-grandfather. Marie Louise Sanon, or Sannon, was born in 1858 but her parents registered her birth the following year. Apparently her parents lived in the valley of Bainet, like many of our other forebears in the 19th century. Sanon was and is an extremely common surname, but a rough indication of her father's age (34) suggests Gille Sanon was born in c.1825. Marie Louise's mother, Dame Marie Victoire Laguerre, was probably born in c.1823. 


We assume our godmother's Laguerre family come from the same section of Bainet but Laguerre was also a common name in the commune. In addition to Marie Victoire Laguerre, we found a birth record for a son of Gai (?) Laguerre, Abraham, born in 1848. It might be safe to assume Marie Victoire Laguerre and Gai Laguerre were relatives since both were living in the valley of Bainet and of the same generation. This is probably as far back as we can go unless someone with access to different types of records can help us figure out the origins of Gille Sanon and Marie Victoire Laguerre. We assume their parents were born in the late 18th century or beginning of the 19th.
