Pop-up Pedigree

Father   Michel Jourdain1 b. before 1790
Mother   Elisabeth Rocheleau b. 5 September 1790

Name Variation Poméla Marie Jourdain was also found as Marie Jourdain.1,2   Remember, nearly every girl in Catholic Quebec is named Marie something or other.
Name Variation Poméla Marie Jourdain was also found as Paméla Gardien.3

Birth between 1815 and 1821 Poméla Marie was born between 1815 and 1821 at Quebec, Lower Canada. On the 1861 Canadian census she says that she is 41 years old and born in Lower Canada, but on the 1851 census she says that she is 36 years old. Saul says that his mother was born in France on the 1900 census. Actually, French Canadians considered Quebec part of France whereas we consider it New France. Her death registration says that she was 55 years old at death in 1876 which would mean that she was born about 1821. On the death certificate for her son Saul, information given by W. Gordon Morin, who never knew her and all information was at best, second hand, her birth place is given as Canada.4,5,6,7,2,8

research 1820 Find at Cap de la Madeleine, Champlain, Quebec, Canada, 1820 and baptism between 1815 and 1821.

Marriage 23 Oct 1837
 Poméla Marie Jourdain married Joseph Antoine Morin, who was 21 years old,  son of Antoine Morin and Marguerite Dubord, 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.1,9

Census_Oth* 1851 Joseph Antoine Morin and Joseph Antoine Morin appear on the census of in 1851 in at 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.2

Cen1861 1861 Poméla Marie Jourdain and Joseph Antoine Morin 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. Paméla is 41 years old. 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.10

School 1861 On the 1861 census it is recorded that she can read and write but I believe that this was meant to be for son Alfred, as on the 1871 census she CAN NOT read or write.10

1865 About 1865 Joseph and Paméla had their pictures taken.3
