Perhaps Marim, Marin, Marty, Martin, Morty. (L) First name: Napolian. Surname looks like Geradine. Perhaps Germain(e).
Surname looks like Gourlay. Perhaps Gourlay, Perhaps intended Berna(r)dine(e).
Gourlet, Goudry or a variation of.
William Grant was born October 1,1856. Some references say St. Charles, Manitoba; others say the U.S. His mother, Quarra, was a
sister of Chief Tendoy of the Lemhi; she was Johnny Grant's second spouse. William Married Oxilia/Auxilia Bernardin. It is believed
they married in Manitoba, but no marriage record has been found to confirm or challenge this.
In spite of forensic testing the identities of three of the young men remain elusive.
The age of the gentlemen suggests the photos were taken about the time of William and Oxilia's marriage. Perhaps the unidentified
gents are William's best men and/or relations of the the bride.
Oxilia Bernardin was one of at least five children of Joseph Bernardin and Marie Peloquin. This information and the names of these
Oxilia Bernardin siblings were recently provided: Edouard Bernardin, Louis Bernardin and Dositee Bernardin. A sister of Joseph
Bernardin, Marie Louise Bernardin, married Paul Girardin. Their children included Olivia Girardin, Simeon Girardin, Edouard Girardin and
Napoleon Girardin who married Onsime Allard. The names Simeon and Onsime are male and female variations of the name Simon,
which, in turn, could possibly be shortened to a nickname, Monty.
The unidentified gentlemen in the pictures may be Oxilia's brother, Louis Bernardin, and her first cousin, Napoleon Girardin. It's also
possible the name Monty may be Oxilia's first cousin, Simeon Girardin. To date, however, there are no other pictures of any of these
young men to compare to the above pictures.
