Pierre and Annie-Eleonore are the elusive couple who cannot yet be connected to the huge ARBOUR family tree. We hope by talking about them that someone will see a connection somewhere. As a young man, Charles worked as a laborer. By the age of 27, he had decided to marry and settle down. He wed the Scottish Marie-Agnes MININCH in Montreal on 17 November 1914. Montreal also seems to be where they raised their 10 children and lived the rest of their lives. Born to them were 3 daughters and 7 sons, although only 7 of their children are confirmed to have lived until adulthood. Charles was 66 when he passed away in Montreal on 05 June 1953. Agnes lived another 20 years before leaving this life on 19 August 1973. Charles and Agnes are known to be responsible for 4 grandchildren.
