The Brown/Armstrong Families Settled in Pontiac, Clarendon, Quebec
The Brown/Armstrong families settled in Pontiac Clarendon, Quebec. The close proximity to each other gave John D. Brown and Ann Brownlee the opportunity to meet, and marry. This union produced 12 children. Their third child a daughter Sarah Brown married Alexander Armstrong. This union produced 7 children. Their son Robert Thomas Armstrong met and married Louise Scott they had 2 children, their daughter Margaret Pearl met and married Keith Percival Grozelle.
HOW KEITH GROZELLE AND PEARL ARMSTRONG MET

Antoine Grozelle had a son Fredrick Louis Grozelle who met and married Cora Lulu Farrell joining the Grozelle Family and the Farrell family. They had 4 children one was Keith Grozelle. So how does he meet Pearl Armstrong. It takes some growing up and moving out of Haileybury for Keith Grozelle (Cora and Fred’s son) to grow up, graduate form Haileybury Mining school and move to Ottawa, where Pearl Armstrong was living. When Keith moved to Ottawa he stayed in a boarding house owned by Louise Armstrong, Pearl’s mother. He and Margaret Pearl fell in love and were married on December 14, 1936..
