He would be my grandmother Marie Emma Duprey's(Dupre) father. Irving was married to Sarah Duchaine, and it was quickly anulled, and later she was to remarry William J. Byers. My grandmother Sarah was born in May 29,1899.She had my grandmother MArie Emma very young,Sarah's godparents I believe were David Blair and Mary (Ozite?)Ethier. MY grandmother Marie Emma Duprey was born Sept 8,1904(5) to Irving(Irvin?) and Sarah. Sarah Duchaines mother and father were Albert Duchaine and Mary Sara Ethier. When my grandmother was a teenager, her father Irving took her to California for awhile, and there she went to telegraph and telephone school.and then later around 18 years of age she returned to her native town of Mooers,,Sciota area and met her newfounded husband Earl Trudell.They were married Oct.27,1924. Irving J. Duprey remarried a french woman, and we know nothing about her. Or for that matter him. He would be my mothers grandfather.I do know that he was buried in Alemeda Co. California,,I do believe his family was from Vermont. I have a picture of some Duprey's ( Dupre) in Vermont, and i believe one of the names on the picture says Elmer possibly. I see a link between Vermont and Clinton County area,,(Sciota, Mooers,,) I also have one picture of Irving J. Dupre,,,The picture of the Dupreys in vermont have 13 people in it,,One i believe is Sarah my Gr Grandmother. I would be willing to send the picture, and maybe you could compare your old photos and make a link somewhere. My mother would love to know more about her grandfather Irving. I believe his middle name was James, and the last names spelling i have seen it spelled a couple of ways,( Duprey, Dupre) with a accent over the "e". Would appreciate any help,,,thanks
