| Marie Nazaire Perrault was the grandfather of Robert Perrault and the fifth of fourteen children of Jules Perrault and Marie Consigny. He was born on June 9, 1859 in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Nazaire emigrated to the United States in 1887, probably to seek employment, and married Marie Philomène Demerise Simoneau in Boston, Massachusetts on July 8, 1888. Their marriage registration record shows that Nazaire is a clerk and Demerise is an "operative". |

Nazaire and Marguerite are included in the 1920 U.S. Census as residents of Brooklyn, New York. Nazaire's occupation was listed as "reserving clerk" for a steamship company. Nazaire indicates that he became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1892. Nazaire returned to Montréal, probably after Marguerite's death in 1936 in New York City, where he died in 1937 at the age of seventy-eight.
