The 1881 Canada Census, which gives surname as "Minor" shows the family of Louis, aged 26 with wife Philomene age 22 with the following children: Sarah - age 11 Mary - age 9 Peter - age 5 Margaret - age 3 Louis - age 2 - he does not appear in record for father's second marriage. The 1883 marriage of Louis, widower of Adeline Belleville, shows the youngest child as Jean Baptiste aged 6 months. Drouin/Ancestry shows that Louis Menard, son of Louis Menard & Philomene Gagnon was buried on 7 July 1881 at St-Bernard, Lacolle. Also another unnamed infant born to Louis & Philomene was buried on 5 January 1882 at St-Bernard, Lacolle. Cheers!

I can pretty easily pick out the dates and names, but the children listed later in the register are very odd. I can’t believe they are the children of this couple. I’ve noted the family in a census, but almost dismissed it as the children could not be the offspring of the couple as the ages don’t make sense. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

You see the problem then. The marriage record states these kids are Philomene's; but, does she get pregnant at 10 years of ages and have a baby one year later? Something's not right. Or, this is as it is, and Louis was a bad boy. I'll have to look at the resocrds I have again. I think I have Philomene at an earlier census still living with her parents. I'll keep you posted.
