Jesse-

There is a book, edited by Robert J. Quintin, that lists the Notaries of French Canada 1626 - 1900.

>From this book:

There were no notaries directly serving Lavaltrie or Lanoraie in 1838.

The nearest towns seem to be Joliette, L'Assomption and Berthierville.

Notaries serving L'Assomption in the period that included 1838:

Archambault, Eugene
Archambault, Louis
Bedard, Thomas
Chagnon, Godfroi
Faribault, Jacques Eugene
Faribault, L'Hon. J. Edouard
Joliette, L'Hon. Barthelemy
Prevost, Francois Hyacinthe


Notaries serving Joliette:

Desaulniers, Laurent
Dufresne, Joseph

There were no notaries directly serving Berthierville in 1838. Another small town nearby with notaries in that time period was St. Thomas:

Boisseau, David Narcisse
Boisseau, Ignace Gaspard
Letourneau, Jean Charles


I hope this helps. Also, have you looked at all baptisms of children born to this marriage? You will sometimes find that there is a surname given for a mother, even though no surname was provided at the time of her marriage.
