Prosper and Marie Anne Ouellet were married at Kamouraska, not Quebec city. Source: Répertoire des mariages, Comté de Kamouraska, 1685-1990 (Québec: Société de généalogie de Québec (publication no.74), 1993), vol.1, p.172.

They lived in Kamouraska at the time of the 1825 census, in Trois Pistoles. They did not appear in the 1831 census, so they had probably moved to Madawaska earlier that year. They first appear in the Madawaska settlement in the 1833 New Brunswick census of the settlement (source: http://upperstjohn.com/1833/mad2.htm#prosperegagnon).
