User:Shanel/Mary Mackay

I believe the mother's name (Mary Mackay) written in the marriage record of Angeline Caron is incorrect. To date, I have not been able to find her birth certificate; however I know that she was from the parish of Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré. In that parish there is Francois Caron who was married to an Anne Tremblay, widower of Marie Moquin. The marriage took place in 1897. In the 1901 census he is found in Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré. One of his children is Angeline Caron, born on July 23, 1892. Therefore, she must be a child from the previous marriage. From the 1911 census records, the wife of Alfred Plamondon was estimated to be born around July 1891. These dates are accurate since Angeline's death record states she was 29 years old when she died in 1921. Depending on her birthday, this would give a birth year of 1891 or 1892.

Alfred and Angeline were married in Notre-Dame parish in Quebec. A glance through those parish records shows that there were Mackays in the area; thus, it seems possible that the priest misheard "Moquin" (it sounds somewhat similar) and wrote a name he was familiar with.
