If someone could help!
Im looking into the marriage of
Joseph Seraphin Bourgeois (1839-1889) married Lea Crepeau (cannot find any dates on her)
Joseph and Lea got married on February 12 1861 at St. Alphonse Rodriquez, Quebec
Joseph also married Odile Mireault on Apr 21 1879 in St. Aphonse Rodriquez, Quebec but had no children with her.
Im looking for the names of the children Joseph and Lea had together.
If possible the birth/death of Lea.
Thanks

Yes, this looks like the family I am looking for. Thank You.
Any Info on this family will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!

The marriage of Lea gave her parents as Joseph Crepeau and Denise Therrien. This should be Lea and her family - parents and siblings - on the 1861 Canadian census. It shows her place of birth as Mascouche.
http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/1861/jpg/4108813_00150.jpg
The Drouin collection has records for Mascouche St. Henri. Given the age difference between Joseph and Denise on the census and the ages of the children the marriage to Denise might be a 2nd one. The baptism for Eugene in Mascouche St. Henri on 20 July 1849 shows parents of Joseph Crepeau and Jean Marie Allard. The baptism for Loe Crepeau (that's the way it's indexed by ancestry) at the same church was on 24 Sept 1844 and parents given as Jean Crepeau and Loe Allard. Baptism for Jean Alphonse Crepeau on 06 May 1841 shows parents of Joseph Crepeau and Louise Terison (?).
Added:
In 1871 the difference in age between Joseph and Denise has disappeared.

This I believe is the family for Lea, Thank you so much! At least it gives me an idea of a birth date for her which I had nothing for. I haven't researched her side of the family yet minus I knew the parent's names I'm working on her husbands side at the moment. Bourgeois.
Sandra gave me the info on the children in 1871, but I have since discovered through a relatives family tree that was done years ago there are 5 more children to this family that I am very curious about names are:
Francois
Louis
Urgel
Leon
Olive
Just trying to confirm they exist and looking for birth dates for them.
Thanks again for your help.

There are some baptisms that may be applicable to the family in the Drouin Collection but I can't read French. Can pick up - dix huit - dix = 10 huit = 8 and Mars = March
1868 Alphonse Bourgeois - St-Alphonse-Rodriguez, Québec (Quebec) shows the correct parents.
I think this will be Alphonse - in Saint-Théodore-de-Chertsey Montcalm Quebec in 1901
Alphonse Bourgeois 33 - 18 March 1868 - Cultivator.
Alphonsine Bourgeois 27
Florentrie Miron 1 domicile (not sure what that means ???)

Oh my Goodness!
Thank you so much Sandra you have been such a great help! You have filled in a great deal of info I've been looking for.

I am sure one of the fleunt French speaking experts will unravel more ;D Hope so.
Anne Bourgeois - Baptism - 1863 - St-Alphonse-Rodriguez, Québec (Quebec.
Think this is a Janvier birth = January - perhaps cinq = 5 which would be 5 th January 1863
Parents look correct

Ive been using a french language translator so much while I've been doing this line of family which has made it an even more slow going process.
Now I just need to find out if Francois & Urgel exist and to which mother they belonged. I was under the impression Seraphin and Odile had no children together but you have since proved that to be untrue.
Thanks again for your help!
~Kat

All the census seem to indicate that Odile Bourgeois just had the two children but census can be wrong ???
Can't seem to find the others at the moment though. ???

Birth of Urgele Bourgeois - Urgele Bourgeois - 1877 - could be 10 Sept 1877
Parents seraphin Bourgeois and Delia Crepeace
There is also a burial - Urgel Bourgeois - St-Alphonse-Rodriguez, Québec (Quebec 1877) ??? but I can't pick the parents names up in the writing - sorry.
Sandra
-
Francois Bourgeois - Baptism - 1872 - St-Alphonse-Rodriguez, Québec (Quebec
Pretty sure the right parents are mentioned but can't pick up on the date. Could be a Mars = March birth. treize = 13 ???
Sandra
-
Your awesome!
At this point Im just looking for a year to the birth the month isnt a huge deal. treize would be 13 tho. and mars would be march as well.
The Urgele seems likely I bet Lea is short for Delia.
You have found all the children I am looking for thats awesome now I shall move to the next Bourgeois lol.

Hi Kat, let's give this a try.
The 18th March 1868 we the undersigned priest have baptised Alphonse born the day before yesterday of the legitimate marriage of Séraphin Bourgeois farmer and of Léa Crépeau, godfather Alphonse Crépeau, godmother Matilde Prud'homme who along with the father have not signed [they could not write].
-
The 25 January 1863 we the undersigned priest have baptized Anne born 4 days ago of the legitimate marriage of Séraphin Bourgeois farmer and Lia Crépeau of this parish. Godfather Al[something...could be Alois but there seems to be an extra letter, not a familiar name] Bourgeois, godmother Anne Carrière who along with the father have not signed.
-
And here's Francois:
The 13 March 1872 we etc etc...legitimate marriage of Séraphin Bourgeois farmer of the parish [something] and of Lea Crepeau, godfather Théophile Crépeau farmer of the parish of St Theodore [something], godmother Diana Crépeau his wife who along with the father have declared they cannot sign.
-
Urgel:
The 17 July 1877 we etc...Urgile Bourgeois born today of the legitimate marriage of Seraphin Bourgeois and Delia Crépeau farmers of the parish of St Alphonse. Godfather Urgele Bourgeois and godmother Angeline Pellerin have declared they cannot sign.
The 9th September 1877 we etc have interred in the cemetery of this parish the body of Urgel, deceased yesterday [something] 53 days, legitimate son of Seraphin Bourgeois farmer and Lea Crepeau. Present Urgel Bourgeois [the godfather, married 1874] and [somebody else] who declared they could not sign.
-
Their marriage, 12 Feb 1861, has Seraphin the son of Alexis Bourgeois and Marie Anne Carrière. Lia is the minor daughter of Joseph Crépeau and Denise Therrien of the parish of l'Epiphanie.
So, minor at the time would have been under 21. But darned if I can find a birth for Lia, Delia or any Crépeaus in l'Assomption. There's an M[arie] Lea Crepeau born in Napierville in 1845, and her father is Joseph Raymond Crepeau...but her mother is Marie Lea Beaupré :P
Cheers for now,
