I'm looking for the family of Henry R Papineau. He was married to Mary Jane Cyr (Sears) about 1868 in Vermont. Their daughter Flora Louisa was born on 10 Aug 1870 in Staksboro, Addison, Vermont. On that record, he is listed as a farmer in Shelburne and both parents are listed as born in Shelburne. Henry and Mary show up in Charlotte on the 1870 census.

The only Henry I have so far found a birth record on is born on 29 Apr 1859 in Underhill to John and Salina Manor Papineau. That just makes Henry too young to me my Henry.

The Family Search website IGI lists a Henry R Papineau, born 9 Dec 1847 in Shelburne to John and Mary (Sorelle) Papineau. This in a relatively new entry since the last time I did a search on this family. (It's been a few years admitedly.) Does anyone recognise John and Mary (Sorelle) Papineau and family? Did they have a son Henry who married a Mary Cyr (Sear/Sears)?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated. My last Salt Lake trip, when I found Flora's birth record, was regretably short at the library and long at the hospital visiting my 91 year-old mother-in-law (priorities you know).

Thanks to much.
