This may be a more accurate last name for Leovide as I can find a marriage for this couple in the Quebec, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967:
Joseph Lafontaine (Charles Lafontaine & Esther Bouchard)
m. 13 Jul 1874 Pointe-Gatineau (St-Francois-de-Sales), Hull County, Quebec
Leovide Damour (Charles Damour & Emilie Amiot)
Here is the next marriage in the line:
Charles Andre dit Lafontaine (Antoine Andre dit Lafontaine & Marie Charron)
m. 14 Feb 1831 St-Eustache, Deux Montagnes County, Quebec
Esther Bouchard (Joachim Bouchard & Josette Seaoth?)
Hope this helps. Annie
