In French, we write PEDLEUR PEDLEUSE and once it was also said PEDLEUX
Derived from the English word: PEDDLER Meaning: Peddler (merchant who travels with his wares) English
past, people used the word Pedlar for peddler.
This research was made in the French Canadian Dictionary Louis-A. BELISLE

In terms of Garroch
According GLOSSARY OF FRENCH SPEAKING IN CANADA published by Les Presses de l'Université Laval
This word comes a dialect of Anjou, Aunis and Poitou,
in Picardy dialect WITHERS used the word to mean the same thing.
It always makes me happy to do such research because it is wonderful to see that these books are not just a dress in a basement, they are instruments of research and serve to further our knowledge on all subjects.
