I've just posted a transcription of a document I found in the archives in La Pocatière: a census of Ste Luce parish undertaken by Father Henri Dionne in 1858. It is a head of household census, and I've included a name index.

Thanks to Dennis Prue who located the marriage record of Amable Ouellet and Esther Gardner! They were married at Chalmer's Presbyterian Church in Quebec city on 24 Jun 1835. Unfortuntetly, as is the case with most Protestant marriage records, the parents' names were not included. But at least this i...

move
I've recently discovered that Prospère and his family were living in Trois Pistoles, in Rimouski Co., at the time of the 1825 census. It is thus probable that they were living there at the time of their move to Frenchville in 1831. Still unknown: why they moved, why they ended up where they did.

Re: Mutty/Thibodeau
Lori,
If you haven't already, be sure to check out the website "The French Connection", which has lots of information on the French people of Waterville, Maine.
You'll have to poke around a bit, but you'll see the links to information and documents on that community.
Good luck!
