Classification: Query
Surnames: Moret, Marouez, Gosselies
Jochim Joseph Marouez married Elisa Gosselies in or before 1870 in Hainaut. They had a daughter, Eugenie Aimee Marouez, born Jan 26, 1870 at Montigny-Sur-Sambre, Hainaut, Belgium. In 1894 Eugenie married Léopold Joseph Moret at Gilly, Hainaut.
Leopold, Eugenie and family emigrated to Canada sometime between 1907 and 1909. They were naturalized as British subjects, (Canadian citizens) on August 29 1935. Leopold was a miner. In a description of particulars on his naturalization paper, Leopold is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, ruddy complexion, brown eyes and brown hair (turning grey). Distinguishing marks included a crippled right hand. His obituary suggests he was survived by two sisters in Belgium, unfortunately their names were unknown.
Eugenie is described in the naturalization document as being 5 feet, 2 1/2 inches tall, brunette complexion, blue eyes, dark brown hair (turning grey). No distinguishing marks were noted.
