  • Name: James Saulnier
  • Birth: 1822/23
  • Death:
  • Father:
  • Mother:

Notes: A James S. and Catherine, are listed as parents ot Marie Abbie Elizabeth Saulnier in the "Ameriault Book", as quoted by Mrs. Richard Amero (Sue). Though, interesting to note another daughter is "Mary". Something to be careful about, as seems th e case with many Amero/Amirault connections.

In Plympton Census, for 1881, the household member and ages are listed as follows:

James - 58 - Day Laborer
Catharine - 43
Frank - 20
Archie - 17
Margaret - 14
Abbie - 11
Thomas - 9
Teressa - 6

NOTE: Transcription on Digby GenWeb incorrectly lists these ages under the 1891 column, as they SHOULD be under the 1881 column.

Family name appears as SONIA in some Census records, at least (see 1881 Canada Census). Have also seen as Sonier.

A Tim Stuart indicates that James and Catherine (Amirault) were married 16 Jan 1860 in Ste Croix, Hants Co, NS. However, doing a search on Saulnier marriage records on familysearch.org, it provided the FOLLOWING info:

Jacobum Saulnier married 16-Jan-1860 in Ste Croix, Catharinam Myro, listing "Acadian Church Records" as the source. This indicates a JACOB, rather than a James was married on this date, to a Catherine Myro (Amero? Amirault? Moreau?). There is st ill much to explore on this family. Will await reasoning from Tim, prior to listing that date for James and Catharine. Ste-Croix appears to be a church in or area of Plympton, Digby County, NS.

Notes: See notes under James Saulnier (husband?). According to the Amirault Family Website (www.amirault.8k.com), Catherine Amirault who married James Saulnier was born 17-Feb-1840. Though Census records are never as precise as desired, that still is tw o to three years after birth year indicated by Census. COULD it be a baptismal date? If so, then, perhaps same. Much more research in the area of this family will be required before truly solid dates, names, places are determined.
