thank you getting back to me.... welcome to my brick wall...Marc Auguste BAUD b 19 April 1891 either in jura swit. OR paris france depending on what document you read...died 02 July 1961 Nassau ,,, cant determine if it was in new york state or canada...buried in Montreal Quebec

1st Wife Agnes SWEENEY b 1895 England , died abt 1943 Toronto Canada ( cannot determine death date ) married Marc 01 June 1918

2nd wife:Marie Marguerite Loretta Emeline DENIGER b abt 1916 Montreal Quebec died Unknown
Marc married her on 13 Oct 1952 in Montreal

Marc died using the last name SIMON ...Catholic mass card reads : Marc A. Baud Simon
he had many jobs including cook on algoma railway....mechanic in detriot and 1920 city directory : detective....

Marc and Margaret had a girl in 1936 which neither raised.
None of the documents including his Canadian Army record match up as far as birth location..
SOMETHING or SOMEONE made him change his last name ( it was never formally registared....just done )...
Gut feeling tells me it was not to get away from my grandmother !!
1940 census does not list him under BAUD or SIMON
so tere you have it...lol... cheers m
