I have tried all of the online resources and have not been able to find the marriage record for my great grandparents:
Jeremie/Jeremiah/Jerry DeMar/Desmarais/Demarais/Demara (~1827-1906) & Aurelie/Aurelia Seymour/Simard/Couture (~1831-?)
I have their 1850 census entry in Schuyler Falls, Clinton County. Their marriage was likely to be in the year 1845 to 1848 in a Catholic church. There is no marriage record in Canada that I can find. Potential relatives have marriage records in Plattsburgh (Santamore/St.Amour brothers married two of Jerry's sisters: Angleline and Eupheme(Phebe) Desmarais). Also, there are many "Couture dit Simard" or Seymour/Seymore families who may be Aurelie's relatives around Plattsburgh and Vermont.
My main goal is to verify their parents' names and locations.
Before 1860, Jerry and Aurelia Desmarais moved to Theresa, NY in Jefferson County. At some point they began using "DeMar". There are also records of Seymours moving to Jefferson County around that time.
Children are:
Olive DeMar (Heath)
1848–1907
Saphronia DeMar
(Sherby/Charbe') 1849–1911
Oliver DeMar
1851–1901
Adaline Demar
1853–
? (no records)
Francis Xavier Zeb DeMar
1854–1937
Jeremiah (Jerry) DeMar Jr
1855–
?
Joseph DeMar
1864–1930
Henry (Demera) Demar
1866–
?
Alfred (Fred) DeMar
1872–1928
[my Grandfather]
If you have any ideas how I could locate the marriage record (Catholic or civil), please post a reply. Also, there's a good chance that birth records for their earlier children are in Clinton County.
Thank you,
