Hello, A researcher on the KERR Board is looking for information about a Miss KERR and Mr. ROBERTS who married in St. Foye in 1838. Out of curiousity, I searched "St. Foye" and found out there was a "Battle of St. Foye" in 1760. Then I found it mentioned in 2 on-line books about the history of Quebec: http://books.google.com/books?id=16sOAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA179&lpg=RA1-PA179&dq=%22St.+Foye%22&source=bl&ots=vDvo6obntY&sig=kwxpTcCcoqyanvTe_efelaP_hIg&hl=en&ei=q1FlS8isDJXwlAeuw6GUCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CA0Q6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q=%22St.%20Foye%22&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=OA4TAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA88&lpg=PA88&dq=%22St.+Foye%22&source=bl&ots=OjXLQ-vI0v&sig=jo2ffQq1ZwEKODn0xLQey4yamzs&hl=en&ei=PVNlS9__C5WUlAeo-o2UCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CBgQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=%22St.%20Foye%22&f=false I'm not finding a history of St. Foye, yet; it's probably part of the history of Quebec City. But, there are references on-line to people being born there during the late 1600's and marrying there in the early 1700's. I see on this site that what is now Quebec City had major changes during the 1760's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_City Any comments? Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. My KERR ancestors were part of a family-group which arrived in the Prov. of Quebec in 1820's, but they settled in Argenteuil County. From my 7 years of research on-line, I found out that KERR's arriving from 1800 to 1850 settled in 3 different areas of the Province - Argenteuil County and in the Eastern Townships (Richmond and New Port, etc.). I don't remember reading about KERR's in the City of Quebec.

Betty; I have no idea is this is near St-Foye. Abraham Roberts, grocer & widower and Mary Kerr of the James Place, were united in holy matrimony by virtue of a special license from the Attorney General on the tenth day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty-Eight, etc Bourg-Louis (Methodist, Wesleyan Church) <javascript:;> > 1838 <javascript:;> > Image 26 Fran Betty wrote: > Hello, > > A researcher on the KERR Board is looking for information about a Miss KERR > and Mr. ROBERTS who married in St. Foye in 1838.
