Oliver Cunard/Canard/Kennard was likely born around 1805. he married or had children with Ellen White. together they had may, Edward, John, Ellen, Julia, and William in the 1850 census. In 1860 Ellen the wife disappears and in 1870 Oliver is living with Mary whose married name is Marquis. I’m not sure what happed to him after that. I do know he last lived in Fort Kent in 1870.

2. John bp. as William John Dec. 25 1842 age 2 months at St. Bruno’s church in Van Buren, Maine – d. Jan. 24 1935 in Wisconsin, USA
3. Mary Jane bp. July 13, 1845 age 1 month.at St. Bruno’s Church, Van Buren, Maine married Abel Ablert Marquis Fort Kent, Me.

I look at Church Records there is no death found for Oliver and no known Headstone in either the Catholic church or the Congreatition graveyard in Fort Kent. last record is the 1870 census when he is living with his married daughter Mary Jane Marques
