:: * No last name on baptism
== Notes ==* Some genealogists suggest that Guillaume was the son of Michel Branchaud and Josephte Arsenault (as it is mentioned in the marriage contract).* For two of their sons (Louis and Désiré) the last name was also omitted in the birth registrations.* When Louis was born (their first viable son) the godparents were Michel Branchaud and Josephte Arsenault, suggesting they may be considered the grand-parents. They may at least have raised Guillaume.* On ''William'' death registration the last name of his wife is "Pagused that name in 1851 census.* Guillaume has no parents in {{PRDH|Individu|993943}} : '''Guillaume Branchaud''', Institut généalogique Drouin, [https://www-prdh-igd-com.res.banq.qc.ca/Membership/en/PRDH/Individu/993943 BAnQ Link]: accessed 02 April 2023.* In [https://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/GenealogieQuebec.aspx?genealogie=Branchaud_Guillaume&pid=797112 NosOrigines] Michel and Josephte are listed as parents but a remark indicates he is illegitimate.
