Odd LHS of Quebecois marriage record [closed]

Question

I came across a Quebecois marriage record where the 'abstract', for want of a better term, on the LHS of the page reads "M fr Chartran et M L T jeté". The record is actually for the marriage of Francois Chartrand and Marie Louise Boudreau, which is quite clear in the text of the record. This has clearly confused the indexer of the record (I'm looking at the Ancestry.ca version of the Drouin image). The record is from 17 April 1815 at Basilique Notre-Dame, if I'm reading it right. Does anyone have an idea on how this abstract came to be?

Answer 1

Hi Chris,  could you post the LHS weblink?  I will try to answer your question.

I've put a copy of the image on Louise's profile.

Answer 2

M for marriage, fr is standard abbreviation for François in these records, Chartran is actually what it was originally written like, from my own Chartran ancestor in 1600s married to one of the Matou sisters.

M L probably stands for Marie Louise, and the bride's mother is named Marie Thérèse Jetté, so there's your T Jeté.   

Which is why I prefer Drouin, for just over $100 a year, I have access to all their databases.  Their Lafrance database has some errors, as is impossible to avoid, but relatively few comparatively.

So can I take it that that the elements on the LHS of the page were written later and/or by someone else, and they just mis-read the actual entry?

Yes, left hand side entries are always written after, sort of an admin thing they do.  So obviously doing it fast and misread.
