(IN FRENCH) Canadian Marriage License

Good catch Eddie! It was Josephine Bellisl, just found the marriage of 1830, transcribed in the Ancestry index as Alphine. The Belleisle threw me because there's a similar place name.

The word prône, I've never heard of that, very useful to know. I think in catholicese it's called a homily?

So Ambroise had a first wife Josephine Bellesle who died. And then he re-married to Victoire Poitras? I'm just making sure I get this right.

Yes, seems so, although I can't find Josephine's death. In Repentigny, which is halfway between L'Assomption and Pointe-aux-Trembles.

PM me with your email addy and I'll send you the cert, will attempt a translation if you like.

I also found a death for Louis Lorion in 1839. Also found the death of Ambroise in 1880, and it's the right guy.

BTW, I meant to mention that the document posted above is not a marriage license, but the actual parish record of the marriage. This, believe it or not, was what all certificates looked like until 1996. Not a typo...Quebec didn't have civil registration until 1996.

So this is the cert
