William Petran (Petrant) is believed to be Elizabeth (Bernard) Decaire's son-in-law, as identified in the 1911 Census. Joseph Coleman is Angelique's son, and a half-brother of Anahareo's mother.

Of note, the age reported on the official death registration form (77) is slightly different than the age reported on her burial record (73), and the age she would have been at death (76) if the age listed on the 1871 Census was correct. These inconsistencies illustrate some of the difficulties of conducting research using historical documents, given the variety of methods by which information was collected.

William Petran (Petrant) is believed to be Catherine's daughter Elizabeth's son-in-law, as identified in the 1911 Census. J. N. Duquette is also the priest who presided over Catherine's granddaughter Johanna's wedding a few years earlier.

As with the records for Anahareo's maternal grandmother, the age reported on the official death registration form (95) is slightly different than the age reported on her burial record (94), and the age she would have been at death (90) if the age listed on the 1851 Census was correct.
