The family must have come from Canada to Springfield MA about 1877.
Occupation: Cultivateur-ouvrier ( Farmer Worker )
Was a Blacksmith in Springfield, Hampden MA at the 1880 census
Children: Louis age 19, Zenaide (daughter) age 16, Joseph age 14, Clara age 11, Valmas (son) age 7, Edwige (daughter) age 3, Virginia age 1
Is son Valmas the same person as Maurice?
daughter Edwige is the same person as Irene Louise Marie.
In the 1900 census, this might be Louis Roger listed as Joseph L. Roger married to Adelaide. Joseph L. is listed as 76 years old but probably is about 66, due to misreading the handwriting. That would make the couple about 10 years apart in age. They are recorded as having a daughter Delphena who married a Fournier. Fournier could have been Americanized to Fuller. Delphena was born in Massachusetts at about the time the family immigrated. Yet she was married in Canada. But must have come to Massachusetts shortly after and they had the child Mary who was born in MA and was 1 year old in the 1900 census. This Adelade is listed as having had 15 children, 6 of which were living in 1900. They are all living in South Hadley, Fournier being the head of the household.
Pauline Beauchemin Ducie, grandaughter of Irene Louise Marie Edwige, confirms that her family had many Fournier relations in Northampton, MA
