Thomas was the son of Laurent Doiron and Madeleine Pineau.

Laurent Doiron was the son of Jean Charles Doiron and
Scholastique Poirier.
They had several children, Thomas and also Fabien Doiron who married Barbe Pineau,
and their daughter was Apolline who married Leon Gallant.
If you read into this you will see that my grandparents were related, since Laurent and Fabien were brothers.

Onesime and Artheme Gallant were both sons of Leon and Apolline. Artheme was the father of Sophie Gallant, my grandmother, who married Oliver Doiron.

Also you might want to know this....Artheme Gallant married Leocardie Gallant

Thank you for the Martin information. I will see if I can make any connection with Adelaide Martin.

I remember my grandparents talking about Big Alphonse and Little Alphonse from Ipswich.

Thank-you for all the infomation that you posted and I hope that what I listed will also help.
