Church Record Sunday: Jeanvril – Lalonde 1845 Marriage Record

One hundred and seventy-three years ago today – on 2 September 1845 – my paternal great-great-grandparents Paul Janvry dit Belair and Angélique Lalonde married. [1]

Paul, born in 1822, was the third, but eldest surviving son of Pierre Janvry dit Belair by his second wife Scholastique St-Michel. (To learn more about Pierre’s children by his two wives, see 52 Ancestors 2015: #32 – Pierre Janvry dit Belair, Father of 25 Children.)

Angélique, four years older than her husband, was born in 1818. She was the eleventh of twelve children of Jean-Baptiste Lalonde by his wife Angélique Bray.
