yes, he was born about 1830.

Hi Beverly,

I found this family group in the 1880 Census of Rhode Island (living in Lincoln, RI, next town up from North Providence wherein can be found Greystone village).  I live in the neighboring village to Greystone, and wondered if this might be the family you're seeking.  Lincoln is next door to Central Falls, RI.

You mentioned Frank was your ancestor, yet he died single  This doesn't seem to be the correct family but they were only Redmans I could find in Central Falls, RI fitting the description you gave in your primary post.  I don't know how Sanford, Maine comes into play, but perhaps they came through New Brunswick to the USA?  The family did live in New Jersey and New York (where their children were born) before coming to Rhode Island.  Hope some of this helps.

   xxi- François-Xavier,  b St-Nicolas, QC 13 Aug 1846.

   xxii- Virginie,  b St-Nicolas, QC 11 Apr 1849.

I could be wrong but based on my over 40 years genealogical expertise, I think this is the François-Xavier you’re searching for based on three things :

1- He was born in AUGUST.

2-He was born of his father’s SECOND marriage.

3-He appears with his widowed mother and brother Nazaire and sister Virginie in Halifax South,  Mégantic County, Québec in the 1861 census; but is gone from this family unit in the 1871 census of the same place, leaving but his mother, brother and sister in that household.  Perhaps he went west to Ontario and Manitoba.   

1861 census Mégantic County (Halifax South) (pp 1-2)

Mary Roulo (farmer), widow, 54y
Nazaire Roulo, 20y
Francis Roulo, 14y
Virginie Roulo, 11y

1871 census Mégantic County (Halifax South, Family 106)

Nazaire Rouleau, farmer, 27y
Marie Rouleau, widow/mother, 66y
Virginie Rouleau, sister, 22y

Hope this helps,
