I have a family (Eloi Roy, Julienne Souci and 4 children) listed on the 1861 census in the 11th District, Premier Division, Quebec County. Is there any way to tell where physically that was? Mr. Google is not the least bit helpful. <grin> The first child of this couple is born/baptized in St Sylvestre, Lotbiniere with the parents stated as being from Leeds. Another researcher found the 4 younger children baptized in St Nicolas in 1847, 50, 53 and 54 in a Repertoire for St Nicolas but I can’t find them in either Ancestry or Family Search St Nicolas records. St Nicolas is a long ways from Leeds so I am wondering where the 11th District was and if that could explain the St Nicolas connection. I would also like to understand how the children appear in St Nicolas Repertoire but not in the microfilm of the parish records. By 1871, Julienne is a widow living with the 5 children in Leeds, Megantic. As always, thanks for any guidance. Mary Lindemann Lacey, Washington
here's the 1861 census - very clear - In St-Roch, were at least 2 of the children were baptised. https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/fra/recensements/1861/Pages/resultats.aspx?k=cnsSurname%3A%22roy%22%20AND%20cnsGivenName%3A%22edouard%22%20AND%20cnsProvinceCode%3A%22CE%22&start1=11 Census Year: 1861 Item Number: 2499216 Surname: Roy Given Name(s): Edouard Age: 14 Province: Canada East (Quebec) District Name: Québec Sub-District Name: Québec (St. Roch) ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` On 02/05/18 3:48 PM, Mary Lindemann wrote: I have a family (Eloi Roy, Julienne Souci and 4 children) listed on the 1861 census in the 11th District, Premier Division, Quebec County.
