Yes, I found the marriage as well. Very interesting. There are no baptisms of any children of this couple in any of the on-line registers between 1795 and 1800. It stands to reason there were two or three children born to the couple during that period. To French Catholics of that time, the church was all encompassing. To not baptise their children is unthinkable. I guess this is one of those rare circumstances where the records were either not recorded or lost.   Bud --- On Wed, 3/17/10, Renee Cummings <rcummi1123@rogers.com> wrote: From: Renee Cummings <rcummi1123@rogers.com> Subject: Re: [QUEBEC] Baptisms at St-Basile Madawaska To: quebec@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 11:50 AM The parents of these children were RRDH Couple   JOSEPH  THIBODEAU  Father : JEAN BAPTISTE  THIBODEAU   Mother : MARIE FRANCOISE  BABIN  and     MARIE JOSEPHE  COTE  Father : PIERRE  COTE   Mother : MARIE JOSEPHE  ALBERT  Marriage:  1795-09-28    L'Isle-Verte ==================== I check RAB du PRDH and found no children born to the couple before 1799.

Good afternoon,   As a follow-up to this previous thread, the baptism of the wife of Joseph Thibodeau, Marie-Anne Martin, was not found, either. She would have been born around 1801 according to her census age. It seems no one born at St-Basile between 1799 & 1803 is recorded.   Bud --- On Wed, 3/17/10, Russell Dorr <russelldorr@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Russell Dorr <russelldorr@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [QUEBEC] Baptisms at St-Basile Madawaska To: quebec@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 12:28 PM Yes, I found the marriage as well.
