Guillaume was born September 15, 1806 in the town of St-Jean-Baptiste, of Quebec, Canada. He was the son of Joseph Saurette and Marguerite Marotte dite Labonte. He married Apolline Archambault January 16, 1827 in St-Jean-Baptiste, Rouville, Quebec, Canada. Guillaume died March 22, 1882, in St-Jean-Baptiste.

Take a look at the marriage certificate as recorded in the parish of Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
Guillaume Saurette, the elder, was very prolfic as far as number of children that he fathered. As mentioned above, his first marriage to Apolline lasted a brief 10 years. That proved to be no roadblock to Guillaume - he married another 3 times over his lifetime. Guillaume was just unlucky in love - his first three wives all made him a widower. He did have offspring with them, however.
If you are interested in all of the descendants of Guillaume with all his wives, then take a look at this report. I included only two generations in the report for ease of viewing. The Saurette name owes a lot to Guillaume - he single-handedly grew the population by quite a large amount.
Also of note, is this extract taken from the 1881 Canadian Census:
Of note I: One of Guillaume’s grandson’s, Joseph-Adolphe, went into the priesthood. Joseph-Adolphe was Almeric’s (my great-great grandfather) 1st cousin. View a picture of Joseph-Adolphe along with his obituary.
Of note II: This page will show an image of 6 of Guillaume’s children, one of his grandchildren and a grandson-in-law.
