Desjardin, Martin Quebec and Ontario
I am looking for information on this Desjardins family.Martin Desjardins who married Esther Elizabeth French.They were probably born between l840's and 1860's.One of their children Jesse (girl) Desjardins was born September 25, 1891 in Fort Coulonge, Quebec.Three of her brothers were also married in Fort Coulonge:
James Henry Desjardins married Jennie Cecilia Letts October 5, 1904
Edward Desjardins married Beatrice Maud Lavoie September 17, 1902
Douglas Desjardins married Florence Addison of Liverpool, England December 20, 1916
She also had an older sister named Mildred Desjardin who married Jim Cross.They lived in Haileybury, Ontario.
She may also have had siblings named Bill, George and Lena.
There were 9 children in the family and I only have the 8 names. My grandmother Jesse also spent part of her childhood in Pembroke, Ontario (until she was 9 years old).At this point, I do not know if they moved back to Fort Coulonge or somewhere else.
Jesse married Lloyd Harris in 1914 in North Cobalt district (Northern Ontario) possibly Haileybury.
