I would appreciate any assistance with the search for information regarding Rachel. I found an entry for her in the Collection Canada site and it states that she had a marriage bond with Peter LeGallee in Quebec 1836
Then I found a marriage with John Lenfestey and it was stated that she was the widow of Thomas LeGallee in Quebec 1839.
I found Rachel living with John Sr. Lenfestey in the 1851 census for Quebec and my Grandfather Frederick and his brother William LeGallee are both living with this family. There is also a Susan Lenfestey that is not a member of the family of course this means she is not a daughter.
and a Susan Toom(n?)er.
I am trying to decipher exactly which of the LeGallee's she married is my GG Grandfather. I have been searching for a very long time! I can't find a marriage date for Thomas and Rachel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This is an old post and got here through your response to another individual on the Montreal forum. If you haven't found these records, you are in for a treat!

Thank you so much for your reply. I have found those wonderful records. It is unfortunate that the families involved used the same given names over and over again.
Trying to sort out who is who is a challenge but I am very grateful to have found any of my family. They have been very elusive for many years. One question answered leaves many more unanswered but isn't that half the fun?
Are you related in any way?
Thanks again.

No, I am not related...just wanted to help.

Was she married prior? Tried to find another marriage certificate in same church but maybe didn't look hard enough. Since she carried the Robertson name I wasn't sure.

And you are correct...it is half the fun trying to always unlock one more generation.

Did you have her father and mother by any chance? Notice that there was a child under the Lavallee name that died in Sherbrooke and her father, who was deceased at the time was a Peter Lavallee...and he appeared to have a brother named Thomas who was the witness. Wondered if that could be the Peter and Thomas in the other records you to which you were referring. Probably not, but worth mentioning just in case.

You have a wonderful weekend!
