Truly remarkable. Thank you indeed. How did you find the Menard/Belleville marriage? Was it a Catholic marriage? And, I’m surprised that the Menard/Gagnon marriage didn’t mention that Philomene too had been married previously. So, it’s likely true that they are parents of the children in the marriage cert, but this is a mixed family. And, it means that they didn’t necessarily fool around prior to their marriage. Thank you again. Very much appreciated.

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.

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.
