Marriage found at Notre-Dame de Montreal, Montreal, Quebec in Drouin Collection

"In history, Louis Loisel appeared at Ville-Marie without prior notice. We meet him for the first time in the religious registries on Monday, 13 January 1648. He was at the church of Notre-Dame to have his marriage to the parisienne Marguerite Charlot blessed. Present at the ceremony were Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve, Governor of the island, Gilbert Barbier and Charles Lemoine. The officiating priest was none other than the Jesuilt preist Georges D'Endremare, known as a missionary at Sainte-Anne du Cap-Breton since the year 1636."
