Hi Lady Marion

OK, so I think that Marie Louise’s maiden name was Gour not Gocher.

The following marriage appears to be correct, particularly when you start to follow the families back. Also when noting the presence of “Marguerite Gour” as a Boarder in the 1911 Census record alongside the Porlier family that I posted above for you - she would appear to be Marie Louise's sister.

Marriage - St-Pierre Apôtre - Montréal
