Have found the marriage but no parent mention. Wondering if he is one of my missing Laplante.
Thank you

John Laplante in the Ontario, Canada, Catholic Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1802-1967
Name: John Laplante
Event: Marriage
Religion: Catholique
Place of Worship or Institution: Basilique Notre Dame
Marriage Location: Ottawa, Ontario
Marriage Year: 1841-1844
Spouse: Elmire Petit
From what I can read, there is a witness by the name of Antoine Laplante. Could be brother or Father. Also John was a labouror so not from a prominent family.
You may try contacting Basilique Notre Dame in Ottawa, Ontario for any info they may have on the family
I tried looking further for both John and Antoine but found nothing definative.
Sorry I couldn't find more
