Hi Denise,
I am confident this is the couple you are looking for. According to the Loiselle Index Joseph Paul-Hus m. 6 Nov 1849, St-Pierre de Sorel, Richelieu, Quebec to Sophie Cournoyer. Joseph's parents were Francois Paul-Hus and Pelagie Page. In the Loiselle Index, their marriage is listed as occuring 4 June 1832. At the bottom of the card is: "Les parents ont presente 4 enfants a baptiser, Jos 12 ans, Marg. 7, Angele 2 ans, Frs. 15 mois." This seems to indicate that on the date of marriage they brought forth 4 kids to be baptized! It is possible they were converting to Catholicism at that time. At any rate, Francois and Pelagie's parents names were omitted.
Sophie Cournoyer's parents were Paul Cournoyer and Marie Verville.
Be prepared to find that Counoyer is another "dit" name for Paul-Hus, and both of these lines came from Paul Hus and Jeanne Baillargeon. See Peter Holley's post on the HUS forum.
Gook luck,
Shari
