Sorry this has taken so long, but life keeps getting in
my way.
Ed McGuire, which I owe a great deal of gratitude to, e-mailed
me back on the 30th of April with the following information:
1.
Hinesburg Town Clerk’s office – Volume 1, page
29 of the Hinesburg Register of Births
and Marriages-John’s birth 5 Oct 1862 to parents Mary LAROSE and John
SORELL. Father & mother listed as
born in Canada. There was no marriage
record in Hinesburg for the couple.
NOTE the entry below is a birth of another child Mary
LAROSE to Henry LAROSE and Ellen BRO. This couple does have a marriage record
in Hinesburg for 17 Jun 1861, both ages 20. Perhaps there is a relationship to
Mary (LAROSE) SORELL??
2.
The baptism and Marriage records of many
Catholic Diocese of Vermont have been transcribed by our society (THE VERMONT
FRENCH-CANADIAN GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY of Burlington, Vermont) http://www.vtgenlib.org
Hinesburg did not have its own
church until the 1940’s. It appears that John, Jr. was baptized in the next town
west of Hinesburg (Charlotte) at Mount Carmel parish. Please note that an older
daughter Emily, born 22 Oct 1856, but not baptized until her brother John was baptized
in 1865.
Ed also checked other records and did a thorough search
for my people in Hinesburg but found no other records of this family. He suggested
I pursue the LAROSE family, which I am in the process of doing right now. Thanks ED McGuire. You are an angel.
