Shelley,
I don't relate to any of them, but what a wonderful thing to do!
I hope you find a descendent,
Tamra

Subject: [Campbell] MERCIER - CAMPBELL Family Photographs
I've "rescued" a group of family photographs belonging to the MERCIER,
DESMARAIS, and CAMPBELL Families of Massachusetts. The photographs included
in this group are as follows:
1 - Josephine MERCIER, taken at the Hayden's Studio in Lowell, MA, dated
1881, age 18 years old
2 - Josephine MERCIER, taken at the Hall Studio in Lowell, MA, dated 1879,
age 16 years old
3 - Daughters of Aunt Marguerite MERCIER DESMARAIS, Zepharin & Grace
DESMARAIS, taken at the Marion Studio in Lowell, MA, 1880's, 3-4 years old
4 - Larry & Carrie MERCIER with daughter, no studio or location, early
1900's, couple in their 20's to 40's with girl about 9 years, note "Larry
is
brother to Josephine"
5 - Larry MERCIER with wife Eliz. CAMPBELL, taken at Hall Studio in Lowell,
MA, 1880's, couple in their 20's or 30's
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following census records
for this family:
1880 census of Dracut, MA:
John MERCIER, age 54, born Canada, a Laborer, parents born Canada
Adelia MERCIER, wife, age 52, born Canada, Keeps House, parents born Canada
Laroy MERCIER, son, age 26, born Canada, a Laborer
Mary MERCIER, dau, age 22, born Canada, a Cotton Mill Worker
Josephine MERCIER, dau, age 16, born Canada, a Cotton Mill Worker
Maggie MERCIER, dau, age 14, born Canada, a Cotton Mill Worker
Joseph MERCIER, son, age 10, born MA, in School
I also located the following information:
Marguerite MERCIER DESMARAIS d. 27 Aug 1902 in Lowell, MA at the age of 36
years having been born in 1866. Marguerite's husband was Philippe
DESMARAIS. Marguerite's parents are listed as J. Baptist MERCIER and Odile
LECUYER.
Marriage Records - Albert SEVIGNY b. 1878 married Zepherine DESMARAIS b.
1886 on 11 Oct 1904 in Lowell, MA. The bride was the dau. Of Philip
DESMARAIS and Marguerite MERCIER.
Marriage Records - Willie POITRAS b. 1882 in Canada married Grace DEMARAIS
b. 1884 in Lowell, MA on 9 Jun 1904 in Lowell, MA. The bride was the dau.
Of Philip DEMARAIS and Margaret MERCIER.
I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that these wonderful old
photographs can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
