A message from Florence Grisham to all members of French-Canadian Descendants on Genealogy Wise!
Looking for parents and children of Toussaint Bobeau dit Fleury and Marie Charbonneau married about 1826.  Some\all of their descendants lived in Shefford County, Quebec.  I've checked Drouin Records on Ancestry but I'm not sure where else to look.

Florence, I use the marriage record as a starting point. I would look at the Loiselle Marriage Index or the Rivest Marriage index (alphabetical by brides) to locate the marriage (you can order these films in through your local Family History Center). Then you can order in the parish film or look at it on Ancestry or on Family Search (usually better quality). You should be able to find baptisms, marriages and burials. Again, check the marriage indexes for the children to see what if any movement patterns emerge. Look at the census records also.

FLEURY can also be spelled FLEURI

Yes I have actually checked the Drouin records, page by page, for those three towns in the years mentioned.  I am now trying to find another town or village where Nazaire and Victorine may have lived.  Quebec recording methods are so detailed and I am certain to find her death or a birth of their child somewhere.  Thanks again.

Terri, not sure what you mean "I also have checked all the Drouin records". Do you mean actually gone through the records page by page or what? Neither the Family Search nor Ancestry have complete indexes for the Drouin collection, so do not depend on that alone.

Thank you James for your information.  I have assumed that Victorine Bedard died between 1871 and 1876.  My thought also was that she died in childbirth.  I have not found a child born to them in St. Flavien, St. Croix and Ste. Agathe (Lotbiniere).  I also have checked all the Drouin records for her death in those three towns.  I have also assumed that in Quebec (such a Catholic province) your remained married until death.  Thank you for your input.

Terri, I have been giving this some thought. If I understand you query you have looked through the St-Flavien church records for Victorine's death record between 1871 and 1876 when her husband Nazaire remarried? There are a couple of things I would do. To narrow down a date of death, look for children being born to this couple (she may have died in childbirth?) And since these are burial records she may have been buried in her home town of St. Croix, so I would check that parish's records also.  Good luck, Jim.

Thank you for responding.  My Edouard Bedard was born in 1815 in St-Antoine-de-Tilly, Quebec.
