Hi everyone.....I think this was a good idea Donna. I have never been able to get anywhere with my great-grandmother and her family. I visited Quebec for the first time in April and found my great-grandparents tombstones in St. Andrew's East Protestant Cemetery. Amelia Des Jardin died Aug 6, 1870 aged 36 years I have a Xeroxed piece of paper out of a book which says 'History of Argenteuil' and the page no. is p.305. I found this in my dad's things. I have not been able to trace what book this is out of. In there it says in reference to my great-grandfather Samuel WEBSTER In his youth he was a clerk in the store of his uncle Peter Spink in St. Denis. In 1850 he was married to Amelia Gardiner and in the same year he bought the lot at Cushing where he now lives. Samuel WEBSTER died in 1913 so this book was obviously written before then. Samuel WEBSTER was a Presbyterian but I believe that Amelia DESJARDINS was Catholic. The first three children were baptized in Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs at Grenville. On 1of the baptismal records she is noted as 'Emilia Dejardin of this parish' and on the other 2 as 'Marie Louise Desjardins de cette parrroise'. So, what was her name, and where was she born and married? Very confusing! Oh how I wish I had listened to the stories my grandmother told me 50 years ago! In my mind I believe that she told me about relatives in Grenville and riding on horseback to see her uncles, one of whom had a funny name (or so I thought!). Is there anyone who has an Amelia????
