Adeline was the daughter of Jean Baptiste MARCOUX and Marie Marguerite DUROCHER. She married Alexander BATCHELOR, son of Alexander BATCHELOR and Elizabeth ROBE/ROBB on 21 May 1884 at St Gabriel Presbyterian Church, Montreal, Quebec. They had seven children - 3 girls, and 4 boys. She was my great grandmother.
Adeline was Catholic, and is not buried with the rest of her family. After her parents died she was cared for by older siblings - one of whom took her husband's place at their children's weddings. She spent some time in a convent school. I can only imaging how hard it was for her to be married to a man she obviously loved, but separated in that way from her faith - and to have her children grow up outside her faith. I have traced a LOT of MARCOUX relatives. So far she is the only one to marry a non-Catholic.
