Marriage Certificate from 1883


Marriage license and certificate for my great-great-grandparents Toussaint and Mary Billette. I have been looking for about two years for more information about g-g-grandpa Toussaint including origins and parents etc. So far all I know is that he was born somewhere in Canada around 1850 and probably spoke only French.
On an 1855 census from Quebec I found someone named Toussaint Billette but it has his birthday around 1845. I cannot verify that the boy on the census was my g-g-grandpa. I really want to find out more about Toussaint because he is the earliest link in the direct Billette line.
