Retourner à la fiche de: Ozias St-Jean

The parish register of St.Hermas, Mirabel, Deux Montagnes where Ozias St.Jean and Marie Anne Cyr were married indicates that his parents are Michel St-Jean, deceased, and Domithilde St-Jean. Mathias Legault served as the witness to Ozias. This Mathias Legault was now married to Domithilde Lagarde, the mother of Ozias. She is the daughter of Edouard Lagarde and Zoe Cregheur.Mathias Legault had been previously married to Leocadie Paiement and had 5 children. Upon researching the date of birth for Ozias we find in the church records of Ste. Scholastique that he is an illegitimate child. Only the names of his godparents are mentioned, Isaac Lagarde and Julie Labrosse.It is customary to have the parents of the father or mother of the child to be godparents so this could indicate that another Domithilde, born 19 Jan 1848, daughter of the godparents could also be the mother of Ozias. These 2 Domithildes are first cousins.But the 1881 and 1891 Censuses show that he is living with Domithilde, the daughter of Edouard Lagarde and Zoe Cregheur, we are therefore showing her as the maternal ancestor to Ozias.
