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

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

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 ?

Here is the household maybe someone can find info on the children? Hillsborough, New Hampshire 1910 all French, born Canada
Edward Tardif c. 1858
Mariana Tardif c. 1862
Edward Tardif c. 1883
Mariana Tardif c. 1885 
Joseph N Tardif c. 1886
Edmond Tardif c. 1888
Emma Tardif  c. 1889

Not sure if in same household...there is also listed:
Alphonsine Tardif  c. 1879 
Anna Tardif  c.1884 
Frank T Tardif  c.1869
are these family members as well, as I don't have access to the census & listing of relationship
