Jacques Archambault

Surnames: Archambault, Tourneau, Tournaude
I have been going over a fair amount of information nad have thought about who and how many marriages he may have had. it is listed that he married two women Francoise Tournaude(from France) and another woman. I have come across information that states that he married Francoise Tourneau(indian). now it was common back in those days to have more than one wife.

now what if, instead of using Francoise Tourneau's real name(native name) they decided to use a name that resembled his french wife's, that way appearing more of a gentleman. now if these women had the same name used in offical paperwork, how many errors could that bring about?

Jacques could have married Francoise Tournaude in France, came to Canada where he met 'Francoise Tourneau' and married her as well. This would explain the age gap between the first two children, the spelling error in the surname, and the lack of information when Tourneau is used in place of Tournaude.

I have talked about this to another researcher, and we both think this could be a possibility. I am going to try and look into this more further.

I am looking forward to hearing anyones theory on this topic!
