I am trying to nail down where and when Robert Turner married Marguerite Brûlé, with no luck so far. Their marriage is in the Répertoire alphabétique des mariages des canadiens français 1760-1935 (a.k.a. "Blue Drouin"), but with no place or date.

I had it as 11/25/1824 in Sainte-Ursule (from a correspondent, I think - unfortunately, I lost all my E-mail two months ago due to a computer problem), but the parish at Sainte-Ursule looks like it got started only in 1842!

Here is what I know: Robert's parents, Alexander Turner and Angélique Bélanger, were married 06/22/1807 at Saint-James in Trois-Rivières. Alexander was from Maskinongé, and Angélique from Louiseville. I found the baptisms of four of their children in Saint-Joseph-de-Maskinongé, but not Robert:
- Marguerite 08/13/1808
- Marie 09/11/1816
- Edouard 07/14/1819
- Guillaume 08/02/1820

Wherever Robert and Marguerite were married, they settled in Maskinongé immediately after, as all their children were baptized there, starting with Pierre 09/15/1825 (so the date I have for the marriage, late 1824, fits in perfectly - I just wish that I could substantiate it).

Help, anyone?
