Could someone please fix the death date (1717) for this profile: or the marriage date (1741) for her third husband. They cannot both be accurate. Or perhaps she was not married to the listed third husband?

Fournier-1340 and Fournier-848 appear to represent the same person because: Same name.

Fournier-848 only lists birth year as "before 1678" and in the text indicates that she married an unidentified person on 10 Feb 1715/16 in La Durantaye, Canada. No other information. No source.

Fournier-1340 provides more information about this person, including that she was born "about 1678" and that she married Antoine Blais. The profile does not list the marriage date, but the listed Source gives this marriage as 10 Feb 1716 in La Durantaye, Canada.

Clearly this is the same person. One profile has more complete information.
