Hi dettori,

PS: i know in the 1871 census she was named Marie Cayer, but i not know any more info.

1871 census for Shipton, Richmond Quebec.
She appears to be living with her son.
Mary Cayer, 85 widow in the household of
Abraham Cayer, 43, farmer
his wife Mary, 35 and children
Battis 18, Francis 12, Nelson 16, Edward 8, Lewis 5, and Mary 2

1881 census for Shipton, Richmond Quebec
Abram Cayer is widowed and living with John 15, Mary 12, and Edwin 5.

On the 1851 census Marie Cayer (if this is yours) is widowed and living alone in St. David Yamaska.  Her age is 68 and it shows her place of birth as Sorel.

There is a birth for Abraham Cayer in the Baie-du-Febvre Catholic Church.  Either he was born or christened on 23 Nov 1827.  parents Jean Baptiste Cayer and Marie Rivas (the record is in French and poorly written - the marriage of Abraham shows more clearly that the last name is Rivard).

Marriage for Abraham Cayer in Kingsey St-Felix-de-Valois 9 April 1850 to Marie Hamel.  He is shown as the son of Jean Baptiste Cayer and Marie Rivard.

This tree follows the family you are interested in and fills in a few more details.  I couldn't find a marriage in the Drouin records for Marie Rivard but after finding this source I notice that Jean Baptiste's name is spelled Caille in the marriage record.

In case he turns out to be yours? There is also this extracted birth on the IGI...the usual phonetics thing http://www.familysearch.org/
Joseph Louis Cahier
Trois-Rivières, Saint-Maurice, Quebec
Birth & Christening Aug 24 1811
Jean Baptiste Cahier & Marguerite Rivard
Just noticed the mother's name marguerite...so may not be yours

Joseph is the only son listed here?   http://www.cjutras.org/CJCAYER-J.html#F016553
These would also have to be confirmed...
site lists parents & siblings of Jean Baptiste - Antoine Caillé and Marie-Josephe Robidas
