    3. Genevieve Amable Presseau dit Chambly married Bernard Jolive dit Lepine 11 Jan 1767 at Pointe Claire, she of that parish he of the parish of Ste Genevieve de Pierrefords. The first baptismal record of a child (Marie Amable) is 6 years later 30 Sep 1773. The only other record of a child (Marie Louise) is a marriage 13 Feb 1792 and death 12 Jan 1795, both in Ste Genevieve parish. Age at death was 24 making a birth about 1771. It seems odd that there is such a length of time between the marriage and first birth (4years) and that there is no baptismal record for the older child. Seems odd that there are only 2 children in those 6 years, especially considering the wife remarried 21 Apr 1777, likewise at Ste Genevieve, and had 9 children between 1778 and 1792. (I'm assuming Bernard died but haven't yet chased down his info). My assumption is that the couple must have relocated somewhere out of Quebec after the 1767 marriage and prior to the 1773 birth. Would appreciate any thoughts from those with greater knowledge than I, of Quebec and her inhabitants, on where this couple may have gone for those years. Thank you.
