Hello John, Here is what I find on your Theophile & Mary. Pontbriand's "Clinton County Marriages 1830-1880": Theophile Fournier & Mary Brown m. 23 Aug 1875, Churubusco Witnesses: J. Fitzgerald & Jne Ryan Ste Philomene of Churubusco parish register: Maria to Theophilus Fournier & Maria Brown of Ellenburgh born 4, bapt 16 Sep 1877 Godparents: Nicholas Brown & Helena O'Neil 1880 CENSUS - I think this is likely your Theo & Mary. It would appear that Mary was first married to a Ryan and that this was also a 2nd marriage for Theo/Thomas.

Nicholas Brown, 64, born Ireland ?Maria, 63, born Ireland next house: Nicholas Brown JR, 30, born Ireland Ellen, 30, born MA William, 3, born NY Mary, 1, born NY I believe this latter couple are the Nicholas Brown & Helena O'Neill who were Godparents for Maria Fournier in 1871. Just 2 houses back from Nicholas (SR) was this family: Phillip Ryan, 33, born Ireland - occupation: none-sick Mary, 32, born Ireland Henry, 11, born NY Honorea, 5, born NY John, 3, born NY Those children match up perfectly with the Ryan children shown in the 1880. I believe that is your Mary Brown and that she is a daughter of Nicholas SR. Theophile Fournier & Marguerite Ricard were Godparents at Ellenburgh in April 1871 for a child born to Onesime Fournier & Marie Richard. Marguerite Ricard was the w/o Ambroise Sylvain. T. Fournier & M. Tailleur witnessed the marriage at Ellenburgh on 12 Feb 1872 of Dosithee Fournier & Esther Tailleur. Theophilus Fournier & Jean Baptiste Guernon witnessed the death of Sherriei/Sherry Facet at Ellenburgh on 15 Jan 1873 - she was age 19 years. Theophilus Fournier and Amatus Richard witnessed the deatah of Lucia Fournier, age 70, spouse of Pierre Fournier on 15 Dec 1872 at Ellenburgh. Pierre Fournier, age 92 years, died 1, bur 2 Sep 1876 at Churubusco. Theophile Fournier & Elmire Taillefer were Godparents at Ellenburgh in Nov 1871 for a child born to Louis Lepage & Mathilde Giroux. Theophile Fournier & Esther Tailleur were Godparents at Churubusco in 1872 for a child born to Jean Baptiste Parent & Sophie St. Jean. I next found the family in Franklin County with entries at St Patrick's of Chateauguay. These are just a few of the entries - you will find many more at this website: http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/clinton/ 1. Theophile Fournier & Elmire Cahier were Godparents in 1869 for a Desnoyers child. 2. Nelson Fournier & Amy Gervais had a daughter born in 1890. 3. Theophile Fournier & Edmire Tailfere had son Francis born 1 Mar, bapt 3 Apr 1868. Theophile and family are found in the 1870 - Belmont township, Chateauguay Lake PO, Franklin County, with some interesting variations on their names - shows all born in Canada except last two children: Tuffield Furnace, 39 Amer, 48 Nelson, 7 Priscilla, 16 Jane, 14 Paul, 11 Clarinda, 10 <male - illegible>, 4 Frank, 2 - born NY Zilla, 2/12 - born NY Given the proximity of Churubusco to the Franklin County line, you may find more entries in that county. Hope this has been of help. Bev
