Notes for Yves (Spouse 1)
Notes from Xavier: “I am going through the records of Plounévez-Moëdec to find more about him (baptism) and his parents.
Nothing significant so far.”
“When he marries Marie Anne Menou he his widower of Françoise Le Bihan and lives in Ploumilliau.
I have found children of one Yves Le Boulanger (there are no others) and a Louise Le Bihan in Ploumilliau from 1753 on.
Three banns have been proclaimed in Ploumilliau for them on January 28, February 2 and 4 in Ploumilliau but, surprisingly the wedding has not been celebrated there (nor in Plonévez-Moëdec where he is supposed to originate). It is disappointing because this would have given us the name of his parents.”
Death certificate:
Yves Le Boulanger husband of Marie Anne Menou from the Huernhir in this parish aged about 55 died … on July 3 1786 and was buried the next day in the cemetery of this church in presence of the above mentioned widow, witnesses and Olivier La Hénaff who declared being unable to sign when asked
