Quebec Research - Graves Family

I was reminded this weekend about the website MARY'S GENEALOGY TREASURES and thought I should use it for Quebec Research.

I've searched the following links using the surnames GRAVES, GREAVES and GROVES. Unfortunately I can't link to the search results, but these thoughts on the search results.

Non-Catholic marriages in the Montral area, 1766-1899

It would seem that William Henry (Sorel) must have been out of the Montreal region since none of the names seem to match who I'm looking for. According to Google maps, it was a fair distance away.

PRDH - Repertory of vital events-1621-1799

I'm not sure what this site is, but it also does not seem to match the names of people I'm looking for. It also changed GRAVES to Gravet.

Index des mariages de la region de Sorel, Qubec, Canada

This index looked very promising since Sorel is the area that I'm looking in, but it would seem that the only marriages included are Catholic marriages. I did not find an entry for GRAVES but the time period is right and I know there were GRAVES getting married in the same time period.

Yourfolks.com

Has the right names, but I'm not quite ready to pay for the information until I think I know a wife's name. There is not a George Graves and a Catherine Percy listed.

Non-Catholic Burials in Montreal Area 1768-1875

Again, I checked this with no luck, so Sorel must not be close enough to be considered part of Montreal. I was hoping it was since the information prepared by Jean Graves said that the Graves family went to Montreal (she never talked about Sorel).

That's My Family

There are a number of Lower Canada Land Petitions for Adam Graves, but only one for George Graves. The time period looks correct for the Adam and George Graves I'm looking for. It would seem I could order the films from the Library and Archives Canada through inter-library loan.
