Napoleon and Desire Surprenant, New Bedford, MA, 1900

  of 196

After much searching I have finally located my 2nd great grandfather in the 1900 census living in New Bedford, MA on Coggeshall St with his 2nd wife, Desire Branconnier, and some of their children. The surname appeared in the index as "Sheprant" and I was only able to find it using a first name search at Heritage Quest.

Anyway, this is what I found:
Napoleon born Jul 1833 in NY
Desire, born Mar 1835 in Canada
John (son) born Sep 1870 in NY
Mary (daughter-in-law) born Mar 1865 in CT
Eva, (granddaughter) born Sep 1895 in Mass
Adolphus (grandson) born Jan 1897 in RI
Fred (son) born in NH ca 1876
Virginie, (daughter-in-law), born Apr 1881 in RI
Mary Bacon, (daughter) born Aug 1877 in RI
Alexandra (?? hard to read first name), granddaugter, born Apr 1897 in Massachusetts.

Does anyone else have any info on any of these people? I am still looking for thr parents of my Napoleon. He is definitely not the Leon Surprenant born to Alexis and Lucie (Constantineau) Surprise as has been suggested by many researchers. Leon was living alone in NY in 1900 and my Napoleon was in New Bedford, MA with wife and family. They also appear in another census reading in different places so I am 100% certain this Napoleon is not Leon.

I'm looking to connect with anyone who is interested in or has more info on this family.

I descend from Napoleon's first marriage to Genevieve Grenier aka Jane Greenough via their son Louis Napoleon Surprenant/Suprise who married (1) Sarah Louise Hersey in RI and 92) Clara Proulx in RI in 1907.
