Author: OHaraHaworth68 Surnames: ARBOUR BENARD TANGUAY MAJOR Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.arbour/331/mb.ashx Message Board Post: 27 May 1872 - Born in Quebec City, Quebec, Louis-Philippe ARBOUR was the 10th of 17 children of coxswain, upholsterer, and carriage upholsterer William ARBOUR and his wife Rose-de-Lima BENARD. Having lived in Montreal since 1881 and having worked there as a barber from 1891, Louis also married in Montreal. He was 28-years old when he wed 30-year old Marie-Odelie TANGUAY on 27 November 1900. Their son Honore was born in 1906, but Odelie died on 01 July 1910, when she was just 40. Louis remarried less than a year later to 25-year old Leontine MAJOR on 15 May 1911. They had 5 children together, 2 daughters and 3 sons. Louis was present at the baptism of their youngest son on 17 August 1921, but his whereabouts are unknown beyond this date. Leontine was just 44 when she passed away in Montreal on 30 November 1930. Six grandchildren are know to have been born to Louis but there are likely several more; he can no doubt claim additional generations as well.
