Re: children of Mary Laframboise ....

I would suspect that if Mary and Angus had any surviving children they would have been in the household with the family in the next census (1891). The 1891 census has a Mary E as the eldest child and she is b. about 1886, which w/b after Mary Laframboise died (1884). This Mary can also be found in the family unit in the 1901 census, where her DOB is recorded as 22 Mar 1886. So it looks like your William had an older sister but her mother w/h been Mary Anne Alexander (Long).

I have looked at the Alexander household in 1851 and 1861 censuses for  Camden and did not find a Frank/Francis/Stewart in it so cannot make a certain connection between the two.

I too would love to see a picture of your Mary and hope you will be successful in posting it. You may find some hints in the 'how to use rootschat' or 'technical help' boards or could even ask for help there  . You may need to shrink the file or something.

Good Morning,

Thanks for your latest endevours. I have to confess I am at the limit of my very limited PC skills and have therefore asked a friend to help post the 'photos.

An 1891 map of the area in which your ancestor first settled... http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~wyatt/pics/easternontario2.html

If I find any marriages online I will post for you ...

Here is a new transcrpt spelling...
July 1 1872 Westport - Roman Catholic
Joseph JANTPIERRE age 23 occ. laborer- N.Crosby
parents Peter JANTPIERRE & Ermine LeCOMPTE
Adeline FITZPATRICK, 20, N.Crosby, same, d/o Thomas FITZPATRICK & Sylvia TRYON.
Witnesses Henry JANTPIERRE & Jane FITZPATRICK, both of N.Crosby. 

( Note that this is probably the couple transcribed as Sanfier next household from JARY ROSBARY & FEBEY in 1881 Palmerton & Canonto, Addington )

Hi,
I was very excited to find this thread as I've been researching this family for sometime. I'm a descendent of T. Joseph St Pierre, brother of William and son of Angus and Mary St Pierre. Nothing has confused me more in my research then Mary Strawberry/ Long/Alexander. My own grandmother recalls Mary being referred to as 'Mary Moon'. 
I haven't been able to figure out why she has so many names. I've heard the same tales as Elmfield but have found no proof. It's interesting to note on the Payea family site she's referred to as Strawberry.

Good Morning,

Well, what a small world we live in...you and I must be related! The Payea clan claimed Mary Strawberry but after I had spoken with Danny Payea and passed onto him some documentation ( we are both living in the UK) that problem was resolved...she was only related to them via marriage!

My grandfather, William St.Pierre married Amanda Bridget Payea whose brother came over to the UK with the First World War Canadian Army Expeditionary Force and settled here! My g/grandfather, Angus, was the St Pierre who married Mary "Strawberry/Long/Alexander /Le Framboise and if I think back I have also heard her referred to as Moon and even Princess Mary Moon.

I'd love to hear more from you as your  Grandfather and mine seem to have been brothers!

It is a small world. William and T. Joseph were brothers. I've seen a picture of William St Pierre in my moms scrapbook, he lived to quite an age. I took a trip this past summer to see several of the St Pierre graves including William and Amanda's.
I've been confounded by Mary of the many names for awhile now. I'll share what I think based on the records I've found.
Angus seems to have married Mary Lafromboise first, she died of what I think was consumption. In the same year a John St Pierre, who I think was Angus's brother, marries a Mary Anne Alexander. Have you found anything about this John St Pierre?
I haven't found a second marriage registration for Angus but I suspect John's Mary is the same as Angus's second Mary.
I have found a registration for another of Angus's brother, Francis St Pierre marrying Mathilde Lafromboise ( who seems to be a sister of Mary L). I also have one for a Mary St Pierre d/o Peter and Ermine marrying an Alphonse Modeste. 
What do you think?
I look forward to hearing from you.

That's more or less where I am! It could well be that the widowed brother 'took on' his brother's wife if...as my family tradition has it...one of them went out west. The changes in Mary's surname is a puzzle... I have no proof but I have a strong feeling that she was adopted by the Alexander's...but latterly changed her name when she found out she was born a Long. I really am uncertain of this but will be back in Canada in a few weeks and hope to put this theory to some cousins. I have to say that much of what I have recently learned...and surmise...has come from JJ, her friends and a deal of trouble to which they went.
