It is a baptism record not a birth record so the children can be of varying ages.

Yes, it is a baptism record on the 19th February, and where it says 'ne' (i.e. 'born') it puts 'aujourd'hui' (i.e, 'today').  The previous record in the book, baptised 19th, has 'hier' (i.e. yesterday) for birth date, and the next one has baptised 19th born 17th.

Are you looking for his parents or his children?

Ancestry has Alphonse Reid 34 and Graz Brosseau 30 with child on 1911 Canada census records. Do you have access to Ancestry Canada?

Thank you all so very much. It is like treading through muddy water at the moment I hope it clears soon. Hope it is not too late for me to start as I am in my mid 70s should have started years ago.

Once again may thanks to you all
