There is a lot more information at
www.familysearch.org now (for free). I just found this record quite easily:

With that information I just checked Census records at HeritageQuest. PELTIER people from Canada came down to Michigan in 1860 and 1870. But, I didn't find Joseph and Josephine until the 1900 census. It said they migrated in 1885.
