Pop-up Pedigree

Father   Antoine Morin1 b. 1790, d. 28 May 1822
Mother   Marguerite Dubord b. 1 January 1790, d. 1 February 1852

Birth 30 May 1816 Joseph Antoine was born on 30 May 1816 at La Visitation, Champlain, Quebec, Canada.2

 
Baptism 30 May 1816 Joseph was baptized on 30 May 1816 at Champlain, Quebec, Canada.2



All information regarding the birth of Joseph, his wife Päméla Jourdain, other than actual baptismal records are in error. Joseph was Born and Baptized in La Visitation parish, Champlain, Quebec Canada. In a letter to Pomala Morin Black, Pomala Orda Shoemaker, granddaughter of this Joseph, says that he was born in France. On the 1900 U.S. census of son Saul, he claims that his father was born in France, and the Certified Death Certificate of son Saul states that his father was born in France, but since this information was given by W. G. Morin it is suspected the information should read 'New France'.

Joseph's parents' marriage is recorded as Marriage #4 of 1815 in La Visitation Parish of Champlain Parish, QC.   On the 1851 Canadian census he says that he was born in Champlain, Canada; and  will be 36 on his next birthday. His parents marriage is recorded as Marriage #4 of 1815 in La Visitation Parish of Champlain Parish, QC. On the 1861 census he claims that he will be 44 on his next birthday.3,4,5,6,7


1831 In 1831 Quebec and Montreal were incorporated as cities in Canada.



Joseph Antoine is marked as a "VI" on Loiselle Index. This may refer to Tanguay, meaning VI generation reported in that publication. Investigate further.6

Marriage
 23 October 1837 Joseph Antoine Morin, 21 years old, married Poméla Marie Jourdain, daughter of Michel Jourdain and Elisabeth Rocheleau, 23 October 1837 in Cap de la Madeleine, Champlain provence, Quebec, Canada. Parish records of LaVisitation Parish record this marriage on 23 Oct 1837. It appears that she was about 16 when she was married.8,9


1848 The winter of 1848 was a very hard winter. Niagara Falls stopped flowing for 30 hours because of an ice jam blocking the Niagara River.

Census
 1851 Joseph Antoine Morin and Poméla Marie Jourdain appear on the census of in 1851 in  La Visitation parish, Champlain provence, Quebec, Canada. On this census Joseph is a Cultivator, 36 years old, living in house of wood, one family, his mother living with them, a widow, also wife, Paméla, and 7 children, p 65 of census.7


22 Nov 1851 In 1851 Joseph and family are living in La Visitation parish, Champlain provence, Quebec, Canada when daughter Marie-Elizabeth Olive was born in November.9


1853 From an information circular for Emigrants, prepared by A.C. Buchanan, Chief Agent, Emigration Department, dated in Quebec; July 27,1853. From Quebec to Montreal was 180 miles, by Steamers. The steamer left everyday day at 5 o'clock; took 14 hours for the trip. The rates were:
      By the Royal Mail Packets: 2s.0d.sterling 2s.6d.currency
      By Tait's Line: 1s.6d. " 1s.10d.10 "

CEN1861 1861 Joseph Antoine Morin and Poméla Marie Jourdain appear on the 1861 census of Champlain, Champlain, QC.    Job "navigatourer", living in a house made of wood, married to POMELLA JUARDIAN, with 10 children at home. Saul is listed as being 2 years old. There is a younger child, Joseph, whose age is given as 1 year, but there is NO birth registration for this child, so I suspect that it is an error in the census. Can not read or write, tho' POMALA can. Owns 2 cochons that is, pigs, valued at $4.00, appears to live about 1/4 dup. from his farm, or else he owns land of that much area. The census was signed off in January and June of 1861, so census taken sometime in that time frame. All ages are at the NEXT birthday. He is a Navigateaur, that is a Boatman.11

Occupation
His occupation on some of the census' is Navigateur, a fisherman and sometime a farmer. He is recorded as a "cultivateur", that is a farmer, on the birth record of his son Louis in 1847.9

 ca 1866 Saul about 6 or 7

Joseph about 50

Poméla about 48
Joseph Saul and Poméla Morin
There is no date on this photo of Saul, his father Joseph and Mother Poméla but since Saul appears to be about 6 or 7 years old  but less than 10, we are going to guess that it was taken about 1866.
Cen1871 1871 Joseph Antoine Morin and Poméla Marie Jourdain appear on the 1871 census in La Visitation parish, Champlain provence, Quebec, Canada where Joseph is a 55 year old Navigateur with Wife Marie, 50 and 7 children still at home. Can read and write but wife can not. Res 50 family 58 in this parish. Several of his grown children live near by.12



Wife Poméla died 26 April 1876 in La Visitation Parish, Champlain, Quebec, Canada.

1881 On the 1881 Canadian census there are several possibilities that could be Joseph. The best bet seems to be in Ste Anne Parish, Montreal, Quebec. page 66 family #316. This Joseph is 65, born in Quebec and is widowed. He is living with a 30 year old Joseph Morin who we can not identify. No occupation is given. Need to find all of his children on this census to be sure that he is not living with one of them.13



It is likely that he moved to Montréal some time before 1879.  It is believe that the second wife of Joseph was Henriette Hamlin or Hamelin, the widow of Louis Beaudoin.  There is a parish record for this marriage in St. Brigide parish in Montéal on 10 November 1879.

Joseph Morin and Wife #2
No name or date
Some bits of information about Joseph and his family:


This man had a second wife, who SAUL knew and liked very much. This second wife could be "EVA" per CHARLENE in Riverside, CA. A grandson of JOSEPH became a priest. In some of the material supplied by Pomala Orda Morin Shoemaker she indicates that most of the children of Joseph and Pamela were born in FRANCE, but since we know that SAUL was born in Canada. THIS IS NOT CORRECT. Most likely "NEW" FRANCE. Joseph was a FISHERMAN. 15,4,16

This second wife may have been Henrietta Hamlin, widow of  Louis Beaudion. 17

School
Joseph Antoine Morin could read and write on one census. Could not read or write on another census.

research circa May 1892 Find Joseph Antoine Morin's death in  Quebec, Canada, about circa May 1892 In a letter to Saul from sister Helénè on 18 Nov 1906 reporting the death of brother Louis she comments that "papa died 13 1/2 years ago That would be approx. May 1892.  He  may have died in Montréal, Quebec, Canada.
