Perhaps the confusion is caused by the fact that 2 Viau brothers, Delphis & Wilfred, married 2 women with the same name - Marie Portelance.
Your church records state that Delphis married Marie-Louise Portelance, d/o Charles Portelance & Justine Therrien, married in 1889.
I have a copy of the marriage registration for the marriage between Wilfred Viau and Marie Portelance, d/o Andre Portelance & Julie Seguin, married Oct. 8, 1903 at Hawkesbury Ontario.Marriage registration #16034-1903.Wilfred was born in & resident of Ste. Agathe Quebec while Marie was born in & resident of Rigaud, Quebec.The witnesses at the wedding were Joseph Portelance & Adelard Seguin, both of Hawkesbury.
Because of the same names of the wives, the (wrong) assumption was made that Delphis & Wilfred were one and the same.
There is also a Charles Viau, s/o Moise Viau & Marie Rouleau who married Emma Larocque, d/o Rene Larocque & Denise Seguin, in Windover, Prescott Co., Ontario, 29 Sept 1890.Charles was age 21, born in & resident of Plantagenet while emma was 18 years ol, bornin Riguad Quebec & resident of Windover.
This is not actually my family.
