Hello Philip

Here is the marriage transcribed for Frederic:

Rivier-Ouelle Paroisse de l'Assomption, Co. Kamouraska, Québec, 1883, quatrième feuillet

M5 Frederic Emond Gautier et M. Aimée Letellier de S Jusk
<snip>

How fantastic. This is much more interesting and comprehensive than an English marriage certificate of the same period, and gives a glimpse into the feeling on the day, including details of the witnesses.

It looks as if Frederic's father, Abel-Frederic, had been knighted; I wonder if that will give me something to look up in the London Gazette, or was it a courtesy title bestowed by the French Government?

I've answered my own question. Here is a quote from an online Dictionary of Genealogical and Archaic Terms:

Sieur: an honorific address of formality or politeness, especially after the 16th C., equivalent to the colonial English use of Mister. Sieur is often found associated with a person's name in legal documents in New France, and it does not necessary mean the person was socially prominent. There is no noble title such as "sieur", it is used as an honorific, although a titled nobleman is sometimes called a "sieur" or "sieur de".


Once again, many thanks for the wonderful additional information.

Kind regards

Philip Candy

If you go to www.manitobia.ca , Newspapers, and put in a search for GAUTIER, you will get a lot of references to check.  They do not all refer to this family.  However, I happened to find one letter from Frederic in the Echo du Manitoba 30 May 1900, which was enough for me to think it would be worth your while.  I didn't have time to go through them all.  Have fun!

I did manage to find Juliana Gautier in Winnipeg Censuses (with her son Frederic) in both 1901 and 1906, but not 1911. Presumably her death will be there somewhere - she would have been 81 in 1906.

I did pm you this; however, I will add it here so that it is known you have the date of death :
Juliana Catherine Gautier died in Winnipeg June 29, 1910, 85 years of age
Manitoba registration # 1910-006135

Many thanks for this. There is in fact a couple of pages devoted to this branch of the Gaut(h)ier family in that book.

Combined with entries from the Manitoba Online Death Index, I have managed to find what i was looking for in rleation to this search.

I really appreciate your help; many thanks for writing.

Kind regards

Hi I am not sure if anyone is still looking at this thread but I am fairly sure I am the great great grandson of the Frederick Gautier you are looking for - whilst going through some old family stuff I found an silver engraved claret jug or tea pot with the engraving 'To Frederick Gautier consul of France' and subsequently googled the name. I believe he is my Grandmother's (Constance Huntington nee Kirby) paternal Grandfather. She always referred to him as Grandpa Gautier. We have discovered a fair few documents related to him also.
