Notes for Marie Elmire (Spouse 1)
Family resided in "Banks" suburb of Bay City, MI beginning about 1872, where children of Firmin/Esther Lévesque probably used surname "Bishop", translation of "Lévesque".
John Bishop's charts indicate name as "Marie Elmire".5 Other records indicate name as "Elmire".3
Moved with her husband John (and children?) to Spanish, Ontario.
Known in family as an "old battleaxe" - a widely shared sentiment.
