Research Notes
La Pocatière, Québec, is given as location of marriage in My Acadian Family website, citing the 1851 census as source. However, in the census there is no mention of a marriage location. Jérôme and Marie-Rose were both born in the Colony of New Brunswick, and living in Dorchester in 1851. All of their children were born in Memramcook between 1806 and 1826. Stephen White does not mention a location for marriage.
Jérôme Léger a épousé Marie Rose Cormier, fille de François Dit Bougre Cormier et Anne Marie Pinet, ≈ 1805 à Sainte Anne, La Pocatière, Québec, Canada.[6]
