Surnames: LeBlanc, Rowe, Du Veaux, Chasson
Mary Leblanc married Lewis Rowe, 16-Oct-1934, at Sydney, Cape Breton, NS.
Lewis was 22, b. NF, s/o WIlliam and Effie Rowe.
Mary was 18, b. Sydney, CB, NS, d/o John LeBlanc, b. Margaree Forks, NS and wife Lillian.

Mother most likely Lillian Leblanc, b. 23-Aug-1878, Margeree d/o Lazarre or Legere LeBlanc and Angelique Du Veaux.
Lillian died 27-Feb-1960 at Sydney, and is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Sydney (01-Mar-1960).
John apparently predeceased her in death.

Lillian and John were married in Sydney on 10-Jan-1906. He was John J. Leblanc, aged 30, she was "Lily" Leblanc, aged 26.
He was listed as born in Margeree, s/o John B. LeBlanc and Eliza. She was born at Friars Head, d/o Legere and Angelique.

Believe John was one b. Margeree Forks in about 1873, d. 14-Sep-1920, at Sydney, listing address at 52 Mechanic.
LOOKS like parents listed as John Leblanc, b. Margeree Forks and Elizabeth Chasson, b. same.
His brother, Alex, was informant. (b. Jan-1885, perhaps). John was buried Holy Cross Cemetery, 16-Sep-1920.
He was married, but no wife's name is listed.

In further looking at 1934 marriage record, Mary signed as Mary Emma LeBlanc.

She was listed as b. 16-Feb-1919, per death record, died aged 41y 11m 1d.
Husband listed as Lewis Rowe. Parents listed as Joseph LeBlanc (Probably John Joseph, as noted earlier as John J), and Lily LeBlanc.

DOB taken from age GIVEN at time of death. Her husband, Lewis, was the informant.

I can't believe I'm just seeing these replies now. I didn't get any notification!
Thank you so much, really helps out! Mary Emma and Lewis are my great grandparents.
Mary Emma was committed to a mental hospital (Dartmouth) when my great uncle was approx 4 years old.
