Leah,
The only information I can find in my database is one Majorique Bourgeois, born 16 April 1869 in Ste-Monique, Nicolet, Quebec, the son of Pierre Bourgeois and Philomène Gaudet and baptised the same day.His godparents were Pierre Bourgeois and Olive Martel, his grandparents.Pierre Sr. was the son of Joseph Bourgeois, married to Josephe Foucault.Joseph is the son of Nicolas, married to Josephe Garant.Nicolas is the son of Pierre Bourgeois of Bar-sur-Aube, France and Anne Poire, of Bazzureau, France
(note:this line does not descend from Jacques Bourgeois and Jeanne Trahan, as many Bourgeois lines do)
Majorique was married on 3 February 1891 to Lucia Desmarais at St-François-du-Lac, Yamaska, Quebec.
It is possible that this is the same person.His first wife could have died, or he could have conceivably just have left her, gone to Saskatchewan, and returned there after Pelagie died.
Unfortunately, this is the only information I have, but hope it will help track Clara's father.
