Anne-Helene's sister Marie-Suzanne had this illegitimate child (Louise Bardet) 9 June 1715
and then Suzanne died shortly thereafter on 13 June 1715, all recorded in The Church at Saint-Jean-Perrot
I used to wonder how a woman of such breeding and wealth (her paternal grandfather and great-grandfather were Billionaires by todays standards) would have fallen to the place of servant (as she was when she first arrived in New France) but it is now obvious that after her father Pierre died in 1704, things went very badly for the widow and her young children.
