Part 807gh – Smith Groh Genealogy – 1860 Marriage Registration – GGGG-Grandmother Catherine Grenier and Romain Huard – 1st Marriage – Two Registrations

Good Day,

Is this where it becomes difficult? In my genealogy search and research I have now discovered the 1860 Marriage Registration for gggg-grandmother Catherine Grenier and her first husband Romain Huard. And this time I have found two distinct entries, in two almost identical repeats of the 1860 Marriage Registration in The Drouin Collection. I do believe that the Registrations are in two different Registers. And there a some differences.

The first Register is the Parish Register from “la Comtée de Bonaventure, District de Gaspé Province.” The second Register is of “Port Daniel et… la Province du Bas Canada… a Paspébiac” and the extraction is of 1860 of Notre Dame de la Purificatin. These were pages of Registers filmed during the 1940s by the Institut Génélogique Drouin of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The collection includes both parochial and civil records.

Mr. Fortin _____

There are a number of words and phrases that I cannot transcribe. This of course may or may not cause a translation problem. All-things-being-equal and from my first reading of both documents gggg-grandmother Catherine Grenier was a minor child when she married her first husband Romain Huard on 17 January 1860. The marriage was sanctioned by her parents, five-times great-grandparents Jacques and Catherine (née Duguay) Grenier.

The part that is confusing me, again I do not claim credit as an expert of the edicts of the Roman Catholic Church, is the phrase “au la dispense, du quatrième dégré de parentes double, et celle du troisième au quatrième dégré de parentes”. A literal translation, by Google translate is “in the dispensation of the fourth degree relatives of double that of the third and fourth degree relatives of”.

Based on my research, a Dispensation of the Church for marriage was necessary. The reference is to a dispensation of the 4th Degree. This type of dispensation included for the marriage of 1st Cousins. All-things-being-equal, gggg-grandmother Catherine Grenier and her new and first husband Edouard Huard were 1st cousins.

I am confused by the phrase “de parentes double…” From what I can fathom, at this point, is that this could mean that gggg-grandmother Catherine and Edouard were double cousins. And this may mean that they were actually descended from parents and/or grandparents who themselves had been a set of brothers married to a set of sisters. It does get somewhat confusing.

Oh and the above inserted image of the Church is a current rendition of Notre Dame de la Purification.

If you have any comment, question, idea, and thought please feel free to contact me.

Enjoy,
