Records of the parish of St. John the Evangelist in New by 1 June 1879 report the act of baptism following:
" B. 33 Marie Madeleine Allard
On June one thousand eight hundred and seventy nine, we the undersigned priest, have supplemented the ceremonies of Baptism (after themselves) about Mary Magdalene legitimate child of Joseph & Mary Allard Lavoie born September 20 Current . Godfather Octave Marie Normand Landry undersigned. Absent father.
Polydore Moreau ptre .
As the priest is his own informant, explaining how the space blank in the act? Arguably it would indicate that he had waved the child. Other incongruities
Note: The quality of Mary Landry as a sponsor is not mentioned and, contrary to what is written in the act, the signature of the latter does not appear at the bottom of the document.
