Tremblay and Labelle Families

The Tremblay Family is very well published at Library and Archives Canada. When I was first searching for the marriage of Rosalie Tremblay and Homère Grégoire I was finding it quite difficult to put this family together. I found them on the census and eventually I found their marriage 6 Apr 1902 at Embrun ON. But I still have not found their baptisms. Finding their marriage did give me their parents' names which was very helpful. The Marriage Registration reads: Groom Homère Grégoire, Age 25, Residence Embrun, Place of Birth Embrun, Bachelor, Labourer, Parents Antoine Grégoire and Delima Ladéroute, Bride Rosalie Tremblay, Age17, Residence Embrun, Place of Birth Grenville, Sinster, Parents Delphis Tremblay and Lucie Labelle, Witnesses: Israel Grégoire and Delphis Tremblay both of Embrun.

Part of my confusion with the wife of Antoine Grégoire was this entry Delima Ladéroute for his wife.  Since she was also referred to as Rosa Séguin I wondered if I had two different wives but eventually I was able to prove they were one and the same person but more on that with the Séguin dit Ladéroute family.

The marriage of Adolphus Tremblay and Lucie Labelle was 4 Aug 1879 at Notre Dame de Sept Doleurs, Grenville Québec. Going from Delphis to Adolfus was simplified with the census.

Reaching back this one generation however did not take me back far enough to look at any of these families in Tanguay. I continued to work backwards with the marriages. Lucien Tremblay married to Marie Bernard 12 Feb 1833 at Montebello appeared to be the closest to Marie Blondin but did involve a fair amount of searching. The father of Marie Bernard was François Bernard dit LaFrançois and her mother Charlotte Robin. The parents of Lucien Tremblay were Michel Tremblay and Ursule Gagnon.

This only brought me back to 1833 on the Tremblay side. I decided to work my way back on the Tremblay side to see if I could find a marriage which Tanguay reported for this family. The mariage of Michel Tremblay and Ursule Gagnon 4 Jun 1793 at Baie St-Paul was a very faint scan but eventually I was able to read it sufficiently to determine that the parents of Michel Tremblay were Louis-Marie Tremblay and likely Marie Girard which is also the choice of many posting this couple to World Connect and published Tremblay family studies. Continuing to track the Tremblay family the marriage of Louis-Marie Tremblay and Marie-Anne Victoire Girard was celebrated 12 Jan 1757 at Baie St Paul. This marriage is in Tanguay and working backwards through Tanguay the parents of Louis-Marie Tremblay were Nicolas Tremblay and Louise Simard who married 18 Jan 1724 at Baie St Paul. The parents of Nicolas Tremblay were Pierre Tremblay and Marie Roussin (his second wife) who married 15 Nov 1685 at L'Ange-Gardien. Pierre's first marriage was to Madeleine Simard 3 Nov 1683 at Ste Anne. The parents of Pierre Tremblay were Pierre Tremblay and Ozanne Achon 2 Oct 1657 at Québec City. This first Pierre was the emigrant from France and will be Generation 1. Generation 2 is Pierre Tremblay his son. Generation 3 is Nicolas Tremblay. Generation 4 is Louis-Marie Tremblay. Generation 5 is Michel Tremblay. Generation 6 is Lucien Tremblay. Generation 7 is Joseph Delphis Tremblay. Generation 8 is Rosalie Tremblay who married Homère Grégoire.

The present generation is descended from two children of Pierre Tremblay and Ozanne Achon - Pierre as mentioned and Jeanne Tremblay who married Antoine Perron 15 Jan 1691 at L'Ange-Gardien.  More on the Perron family later. Jeanne is in Generation 2.

The present generation is descended from three children of Pierre Tremblay and Marie Roussin - Nicolas as mentioned. Second Marie-Madeleine Tremblay their daughter married Joseph Gagnon 10 Apr 1709 at Baie St Paul. Marie-Madeleine is in Generation 3. Third Etienne Tremblay married to Marie Fortin 12 Nov 1715 at Baie St Paul. Etienne is in Generation 3. Their daughter Cecile Tremblay married Joseph Simard 16 Jan 1742 at Les Eboulements. Cecile is in Generation 4. I prepared the folders for the Tremblay family and the next research day for the Tremblay family will be spent collecting any missing registrations for them.

Returning now to the marriage of Joseph Delphis Tremblay and Lucie Labelle and looking at the parents of Lucie Labelle I found a marriage for François Labelle and Marcélline Lacroix 19 Feb 1855 at Notre Dame de Sept Doleurs, Grenville, Québec. Collecting this marriage I found the parents of François Labelle to be Antoine Labelle and Clémence Potvin who married 3 Jun 1834 at St Martin (Laval). From their marriage registration the parents of Antoine Labelle were Jean Baptiste Labelle and Louise Legault who in turn married 11 Jan 1808 at Ste Rose de Lima (Laval). This marriage is not listed in Tanguay and finding their marriage the parents of Jean Baptiste Labelle were Jean Baptiste Labelle and Marie Josephte Valiquette who married 30 Sep 1771 at St Vincent de Paul. Nor is this marriage in Tanguay and searching through the parents of Jean Baptiste Labelle were Jean François Labelle and Marie Madeleine Vandendaigue who married 24 Nov 1738 at St François de Sales. This marriage is listed in Tanguay and Madeleine was the first wife of Jean François Labelle. The parents of Jean François were Jean François Labelle and Denise Major who married 9 Sep 1711 and Pointe aux Trembles. The parents of Jean François Labelle were Guillaume Labelle and Anne Charbonneau who married 23 Nov 1671 at Notre Dame in Montréal. Guillaume Labelle is the emigrant as far as I can tell thus far so he is Generation 1. Checking to see if this is correct in the marriage registration but I can only find the Guillaume Label to Marie Garnier marriage in the Index (lists only the name of Groom and Bride) 23 Sep 1761. I note that the mother of Anne Charbonneau according to others is Marie Marguerite Garnier - perhaps the indexer made an error. This discrepancy must be worked out somehow. Checking the registers for Notre Dame in Montréal does not answer that question as they do not include marriages for 1671.

What we do know for sure is that Guillaume Labelle is likely the emigrant and so he is Generation 1. Jean François is Generation 2 and he married twice with two lines of descent (one from each marriage) but also the present generation is descended from four children of Guillaume Labelle and Anne Charbonneau. Secondly, Magdeleine Labelle married Louis Filiatreau 9 Jan 1700 at Repentigny and is in Generation 2. Thirdly, Catherine Labelle married Pierre Nadon 26 Apr 1711 (date of contract) at Ile de Jesus and is in Generation 2. Fourthly, Angélique Labelle married Joseph Ethier 28 Nov 1713 at St François de Sales and is in Generation 2.

Jean François married first Denise Major 9 Sep 1711 at Point aux Trembles and is in Generation 2. He married second Catherine Berloin dite Nantel 24 Apr 1718 at St François de Sales (Laval) and this marriage is also in Generation 2. Their daughter Marie Marguerite Labelle married Ignace Paquet and is in Generation 3. Jean François Labelle and Denise Major's son Jean François Labelle married Marie Madeleine Vandendaigue and he is in Generation 3 as well.

Generation 4 is Jean Baptiste Labelle married to Marie Josephte Valiquette.

Generation 5 is Jean Baptiste Labelle married to Louise Legault.

Generation 6 is Antoine Labelle married to Clémence Potvin.

Generation 7 is François Labelle married to Marcélline Lacroix.

Generation 8 is Lucie Labelle and she married Joseph Delphis Tremblay.

The next session on Tremblay and Labelle I will continue to pull out the scans for the baptisms, marriages and burials.

Tremblay family and others

This week has flown by. Monday we needed to work on a talk that my husband is giving in a couple of months on Loyalists. The whole day disappeared quickly. Tuesday was equally busy as I decided to go to LAC once again to work on our son in law's ancestors.

I wanted to look up several well known lines and they proved to have a fair number of published books. The Tremblay family, the Grégoire family, the Séguin dit Ladéroute family, the Potvin family and about ten others that I wanted to look at.

The Tremblay family has many many publications including a four volume set of marriages organized in a very definitive way which made my search back a good deal easier. Rosalie Trembly was born circa 1885 at Grenville Québec. I am still hunting out her baptism. but the marriage registration with Homère Grégoire gives her parents as Adolphus Tremblay and Lucie Labelle. I managed to find their marriage 4 Aug 1879 at Notre Dame de Sept Doleurs, Grenville Paroisse. The parents of the couple were recorded.

Parents of Adolphus Tremblay were Lucien Tremblay and Marie Bernard ditte Blondin.

Parents of Lucie Labelle were François Labelle and Marcelling Lacroix.

I finally found the baptism for Joseph Delphis Trembly 13 October 1860 at Papineauville. This was an excellent find and I would like to find his burial.

Looking at Lucien Trembly and Marie Bernard ditte Blondin I finaly found their marriage 12 Feb 1833 at Montebello. The parents of this couple were recorded.

Parents of Lucien Tremblay were Michel Tremblay and Ursule Gagnon.

Parents of Marie Bernard ditte Blondin were François Bernard dit Blondin and Charlotte Colin. For this couple I am at a very solid brick wall. I noticed a number of other researchers are equally confused. No further details on this couple at the moment

However, The marriage of Michel Tremblay and Ursule Gagnon was readily found 4 Jun 1793 at Baie St-Paul. This is the New France home for the Tremblay family so I have been really lucky. Lucien was baptized 22 Oct 1809 at Baie St-Paul.

The parents of Michel Michel Tremblay were Louis-Marie Tremblay and Marie-Anne Victoire Girard.

The parents of Ursule Gagnon were Joseph Gagnon and Marie-Luce Simard.

Michel Tremblay was baptized 28 Jun 1772 at Baie St-Paul and Ursule Gagnon was baptized 12 Nov 1775 at Baie St-Paul.

I continued working back on the Tremblay family. Louis-Marie Tremblay and Marie-Anne Victoire Girard were married 12 Jan 1757 at Baie St-Paul.

The parents of Louis-Marie Tremblay were Nicolas Tremblay and Louise Simard.

The parents of Marie-Anne Victoire Girard were Pierre Girard and Marie-Anne Vezinat.

I found the baptism for Nicolas Tremblay 23 Jan 1699 at Baie St-Paul and his burial 1516 Aug 1748 at Les Eboulements.

The marriage of Nicolas Tremblay and Louise Simard was 18 Jan 1724 at Baie St-Paul. Their parents were also recorded.

The parents of Nicolas Tremblay were Pierre Tremblay and Marie Roussin.

The parents of Louise Simard were Etienne Simard and Rosalie Bouchard.

As it turned out putting the tree together (more on this later), this family has three Tremblay lines from the marriage of Pierre Tremblay and Marie Roussin 15 Nov 1685 at L'Ange Gardien. They include Nicolas Etienne and Marie-Madeleine Tremblay. A fourth child Rosalie Tremblay married Pierre Girard who was also an ancestor (second wife and he; Rosalie was his first and she died at 24 years of age).

The marriage of Pierre Tremblay and Marie Roussin also recorded the parents names.

The parents of Pierre Tremblay were Pierre Tremblay and Ozanne Achon and they married Oct 1657 at Notre-Dame, Québec.

The parents of Ozanne Achon were Jean Achon and Hélèene Regourde who married in France.

Their son Pierre Tremblay was born 2 Aug 1660 at Québec.

The parents of Pierre Tremblay (married to Ozanne Achon) were Philibert Tremblay and Jeanne Coignet (they were married in France).

A very useful day at the Archives but it was taken me two days and on into today to pull all the marriages from the Registers and record them in my Legacy file.

Tomorrow I shall clean. The time passes much too quickly.
