----------child: Roy, Edouard Victor Louis (1861 - )Marriage Note
The record actually shows the bride's surname to be "Soloman". These record were not made contemporaneously, but rather were reconstructed by a Rev. William LeBlanc of Arichat about twenty years later from scattered slips of paper. It seems probable that the Fr. LeBlanc knew of Eugenie as the then Mrs. Soloman and used that surname when reconstructing this record. The same is true for the record of the birth of their child, Edward. That the bride's surname was truly Pertus is consistent with the latter census records showing an Edward of the right age living with Eugenie and her second husband.
