Great finds, eileenwilson! and MaureeinNY!

Haven't been able to find any children baptized prior to Leopoldine but have found this possible marriage that matches the parents of the known children.....

At St Jacques le Mineur Church in Montreal 07 Jan 1884 (yes!)
Zephire Arthur Lapierre son of the age of majority of Zephire Lapierre and deceased Exilda Fayette dite Lesperance of this parish
and
Marie Melina Martel daughter of minor age (under 21) of Louis Alfred Martel and deceased Marie Emelie Simard of this parish.

Both parties signed.
Witnesses were both fathers who also signed.

Anyway, food for thought.

Good one, Polar Bear.

Found a baptism for a child at Notre Dame Basilica born 19 August 1884 -- Louis-Zepherin Arthur, son of Zepherin Arthur Lapierre, merchant, and Marie Melina Martelle; sponsor is Zeherin Lapierre, grandfather, and Anna Martelle, aunt.

Looks good, eileenwilson.

Sure would be nice if we could find the family in a census or two before they move to the USA. They are well hidden.

One thing's for sure...they appear to be well educated. Their handwriting is beautiful!

Finally found him in the Lovell Montreal Directory in 1896 as Arthur Lapierre, photographer, with an address of Notre Dame des Neiges.  Having trouble finding him in other years.

Thank you RJ137 for this and the attached article which is of great interest, in that it shows that Noah employed Edgar at one time before "repaying him" - burglarizing him.
