Rick,
I am having trouble following the sequence of events in this family as presented.
I found the following in the 1911 Census of Amherst:
ARSENEAU, Stephen b Mar 1871 40y
ARSENEAU, Katherine (sic) b May 1887 24y.
ARSENEAU, Clarence b Sep 1905 5y.
ARSENEAU, Roy E. b Mar 1908 3y.
ARSENEAU, Lillie M. b Mar 1911 2 mos.
With that as a given, with a presumed marriage of about 1904, how do you explain the following marriage record, dated in 1914!!!
Stephen ARSENEAU, son of Placide & Jane ...
born Nappan, NS, 33y., Roman Catholic, farmer
Cathleen (sic) THOMPSON, daughter of William & Martha ...
born Springhill, NS, 27y., Episcopalian, spinster
witnesses: Thomas Noiles & Martha Thompson
Married Amherst, NS (Baptist Church) 19 Jan 1914
NSARM, Cumberland County, NS Vital records: Book 37, p 142
Were they married AFTER some of the kids were born? Or was Stephen married previously to a Catherine before his marriage to a Kathleen? It just doesn't add up otherwise.

P.S. BTW,
Placide ARSENEAU died of lip cancer at Upper Nappan, NS on 16 Dec 1928, aged 79y., farmer, born New Brunswick, s/o Stephen & (Mina Hayslope- hard to read the certificate),
buried St-Charles Cem., Amherst, NS on 17 Dec 1928.
Cumberland Cty. VRs, Bk 120, p 873.
But you could have done this research online at NS Archives.
