This is a good site to find out where "Tardif's" were living.

That's My Family
http://www.thatsmyfamily.info/

In the 1881 Census for Canada, there looks to be only 1 Edward Tardif that comes close in age to your Edward, but he is married to an Angele. They were living in New Brunswick.

St Leonard, Victoria, New Brunswick

Edward TARDIF 
Married   
French   
Age: 23   
Birthplace: New Brunswick   
Occupation: Cultivatier   
Religion: Catholique 
 
Angele TARDIF   
Married 
Age: 23
Birthplace: New Brunswick 

I couldn't find anything about his birth or marriage(s).

As I suspect he could have been born in Quebec, here are some links that may help.

This was a very French neighbourhood...right next to Edward  in 1881, is a family that is likely to be parents & siblings
Lambert Tardif born 1825 in Quebec, & also a farmer
Julianne Tardif of French origin b. 1831   N.Brunswick   
Larrie age 28   born N.B. 
Olive  -  26         "     "

Well, there is a contact listed on site, but  there is no death listed for the first wife, a submission as an ancestral file:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp

Has Edward marred to Angele Doucet ( father Firmin Doucet  ?)
22 May 1880 / Parent, N.B.
Parents: Lambert Tardif  &   Julienne Thibodeau   

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM>...He has another submission as well, which may cancel this out as being your man...as he was in U.S. previous to this second marriage...
Spouse #2....Sophie Joanna Corbin   
Marriage November 22 / 1897 
St. Leonard - Parent, NB

I think you will have to pick up some more records in order to find out where he was born, so that we can locate the proper Edward... Have you checked all the censuses in which this couple appears? Some census takers may have written Province down... Is the name Mariana always used as well? Perhaps someone can find the info re: immigration to U.S in 1890 ?

submissions aren't reliable, but there is a marriage listed  on the IGI which certainly would be close to the first birth...in 1861

EusÃbe Tardif (Hilaire Tardif  & Marie-Louise Hudon-Beaulieu )
to Caroline Dionne 
Oct. 11 1859..but it doesn't say where this marriage took place... ::)
Some of the submitter's information is there, but not enough so that you can write to ask what the source of info was?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/QUEBEC/2005-08/1124685570
Marriage for Hilaire & Marie Louise but it takes place in town of Kamouraska
This might be a good person to ask about descendats of this couple and if they tie in to your family!

parents of both are listed here, so invaluable should it turn out to be yours...

P.S...just leave this information posted here, and only keep or print out the "for sures" when you find there is a connection somewhere...
Title: Re: Tardif, Edward
Post by: J.J. on Thursday 06 December 07 19:40 GMT (UK)
Here is some more information listed on ascendants of the above couple (Eusèbe Tardif / Caroline Dionne) and a place for the marriage St-Pascal, QC...and an email address which might just help to see if this is the right family...! HOPEFULLY!

http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~dionne/genealogie/marco/persons/dir_10/file_135.html

Fingers crossed... :D  J.J.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe also point out to the person on the site that from http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/QUEBEC/2005-08/1124685570
marriage for Marie & Hilaire Aug 22, 1825 has parents listed as:
Marie - Joseph Hudon-Beaulieu and Marie Louise Roy-Desjardins
Hilaire - Alexandre Tardif and Marie Catherine Sirois-Duplessis

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

O.K.  We need to stop now before we go off into another family once again...
You need to find some solid proof of the name of the person you seek let alone the parents...We'll be here when you find something solid.

  Is there death information on your man? a marriage cert ? Find something concrete.... :) J.J.

You're exactly right, and I'll begin working on gathering more solid proof this week.
