Marriage notes:
PRDH indicates that Francois Duclos and Jeanne Cerisier signed a contract of marriage in 1665 at an undetermined place in Quebec, Canada.
"On 26 November 1665, notary Jacques de Latouche drew up their marriage contract. This document reveals that Francois was the son of Charles Duclos and of Madeleine Boutart, from Manerbe in Normandy. Father Godbout, who did the research in this area, discovered the birth record of the ancestor - he was baptized at Blangy on 12 March 1627. His mother was not a Boutart, but a Bouffart. Blangy is a small locality situated near Manerbe, diocese of Lisieux, district of Pont-l'Evesque, in Normandy (Calvados). The religious ceremony must have followed the signing of the marriage contract, but we know neither the place nor the exact date. We may presume that the nuptial blessing took place at Cap-de-la-Madeleine, the groom's place of residence."

Biography
DUCLOS, François... left the Calvados region of Normandy for Canada around 1665 where he married a fille-du-roi, Jeanne Cerisler from Touraine, in November 1665. She was 24, he was 38. The family is listed on the 1666 Talon census as living in the Trois-Rivières area. At the time, he was a volunteer and a habitant. They did not appear on the original census, but on the reconstructed census. In time, two of their sons, Nicolas and Charles were involved in the fur trade. Charles, however, died young at the age of 20.
