In the early 1850's the following records appear at Notre Dame Cathedral in Ottawa.
Either these families moved from Lochaber Township (north side of the Ottawa River)
to Ottawa, or, a missionary from Ottawa travelled to Lochaber to perform marriages 
and baptisms there. Lochaber Township pioneers had connections to the Scots who
settled in Glengarry Township just to the south. Lochaber Township may have earlier
been part of the seigneury of Montebello.

Hi
 
For your first record on 8 Aug 1850 I can say Henri Giroux is buried in 
Rockland Ontario with his wife Sophie  His First Child was born in 1852 
I do not know where he was born though. most of Henri's Children were in 
Rockland also but I have no idea of when Henri  moved there or where he 
was born.  One of Henri's Daughter's Married my GGreat Uncle Denis Themens 
in Rockland.
 
Henri was born about 1828 and died 16 Mar 1898 in Rockland Ontario
 
Sophie was born 05 Apr 1832 and Died 20 Feb 1911 in Rockland Ontario
