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.

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].

[chinakay]

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

Cheers for now,
China
