Mary Ellen. The Drouin Collection has information about the marriage of Charles and Eva. They were married April 26, 1893 in Quebec, parish of St. Roch. His father is Magleine Aube, cordonnier (shoemaker) and his mother is Camille Turgeon. He was born May 25, 1868 in St. Malachie (Dorchester County) and he was baptized May 26, 1868. Eva's parents are Joseph Richard and Marie Louise Cantin (I think this is the correct spelling--the writing is difficult to read. Eva's mother is deceased at the time of Eva's marrige. It appears that Eva's name may have been different at the time of her birth. I am still looking for her birth record. The Drouin Collection is a huge resource when researching in Quebec. I do hope this helps in some way.

Mary Ellen, you need to look at the Loiselle or Fabien marriage indexes, even if they were living in the US at the time period of the marriage. I know for New York a number of the immigrants or their children went back to Quebec to get married, sometimes returning to the area they resided/originated. The indexes are available through your local Family History Center. There are marriage indexes also published for some of the parishes in Maine.

She died on 23Mar1936 in Auburn/Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine. They had emigrated to the US around 1900. I would like to find out who her parents were and where they lived in Canada.
