Carl - I can only give partial help here...

Birth Records of Southbridge, MA:
Marie D. Boucher b. July 28, 1874; Parents were Pierre Boucher and Marie
Garant(sic), both born in Canada.

Marriage records of Southbridge, MA: Feb 19, 1900;
Groom: Existe Geoffrion, age 19, born in Canada; parents Frank Geoffrion and
Delima Rubertin;
Bride: Delia Boucher, age 25, born in Southbridge; parents Pierre Boucher
and Marie Gerron(sic);
Marriage performed by Priest L.A. Langlois of Southbridge

I am sending you (off-list) the 1900 census record for Delia and her husband
Existe, as well as a 1910 record which I believe is Delia as a Widowed
Housekeeper.

I was not able to find Delia by her either married name in either 1920 or
1930...You did not give a year for the obituary of Charles Boucher, and the
second obituary was in 1937, so it is difficult to tell when that marriage
may have taken place.

Interestingly, I did find and Albena & Edward Geoffrion with a daughter
Delia M. in the 1920 census (Albena born about 1880, butin Canada) - perhaps
your Albena Boucher LaFortune also married twice?

Anyway, images of the census to follow off-list

Subject: [MAWORCES] Access to Cambridge Mass Birth,Marriage and Death
records post 1941


I was wondering if someone on this list would have access to Cambridge Mass
Birth, Marriage and death records. I am interested locating Marriage and
Death information of Marie Delia Boucher Lavangie. Marie Delia Boucher was
born on 28 Jul 1874 in Southbridge, Massachusetts.

She is listed in the obituaries of her brother and two of her sisters. The
first obituary is Charles Boucher of Southbridge MA, lists Delia as Mrs John
Jeffrion of Southbridge MA. The second obiturary, Hermine Ellen Boucher
Goddu (of Southbridge, MA) on 30 Jun 1937 as Delia Loranger of Cambridge
Mass, the third obituary, Albena Boucher Lafortune (of East Hartford, CT) on
2 Jan 1941 again listing Delia Lavangie of Cambridge MA.

Marie Delia Boucher had a previous marriage to Existe Geoffrion in
Southbridge so the Lavangie would be her second marriage.

Any help is appreciated.
