Biography

Agnès was born in 1878. In 1881 Census, she was one of five children.^[1] She was twelve years old in the 1891 Census.^[2] It's unclear if she came to Ontario before she married, but she did remain once she married a widower 28 Jul 1902.^[3][4] In 1903, she had Olivier and he was 23 when he died in 1926.^[5] She had a daughter in 1905.^[6] Delvina married in 1926.^[7]She had a son Emile Georges in 1906.^[8] She had a son, Joseph in 1910.^[9]He died five months later in 1910.^[10] She had a son Joseph George René in 21 Dec 1911. Agnès passed away in 1955.

Research Notes

When she married in 1902, her mother is listed as Odile Boin^[3] in one record and Malvina Fortier in another^[4] . Both appear to be incorrect. Certainly not Malvina Fortier as she is her husband's first wife. Could Odile Boin be a third wife to Olivier as Octavie died in 1891?
