Research Note:
For many years the parents, specifically the mother of Marie Rose Amanda Chénier may have been in question. No one could find a marriage between a Jean-Baptiste Chénier and a Mérande Lajeunesse, Marie Rose Amanda's parents mentioned in her baptism record. But there is a marriage between a Jean-Baptiste Chénier and Emérance Chevrier. Why Marie Rose Amanda's mother's name was written down as Lajeunesse in the parish register is a mystery, but possibly it was just a clerical error. Could it have been a quick entry in the register, and the fact that her Godfather was Félix Lajeunesse that brought this error? Good question.
However after extensive research I have come to believe that Marie Rose Amanda's mother's name in the parish register should have been Mérande (or Emérance) CHEVRIER, daughter of Félix Chevrier and Rose Chénier.
My research that brought me to this conclusion are in point form below:

1. Verifying the parish registers for St-Joseph-de-Soulanges, Les Cèdres, QC from 1850 to 1886 I could not find a birth record for a Mérande Lajeunesse. (Her given name has also been found under various spellings: Mérande, Mérance and Emérence and Emérance). Nor Could I find a birth record for Emérance Chevrier for the same time period.

2. In the 1891 Canadian Census Return for the District (189) of Soulange, Sub District of St-Joseph-de-Soulanges, Les Cèdres, Schedule 1, Page 24 we find the following:

Chenier Jean-Baptiste male 33 years of age
Chenier Emerance female 39 years of age (Emérance Chevrier, aka Mérande Lajeunesse)
Chenier Maria female 5 years of age (Marie Rose Amanda)
Chenier Alexina female 2 years of age

Considering that there are 6 known children with proper birth and baptism records we find the seventh child should be Marie Rose Amanda Chenier. (Maria)
This Maria (Marie Rose Amanda Chenier) can be found in the parish register birth naming her mother erroneously as Mérande Lajeunesse. It should have been Emérance Chevrier, daughter of Félix Chevrier and Chénier.
