Research Notes

According to researcher Marcel Walter Landry, Marguerite was buried on 8 May 1792 in Champlain, Quebec. No spouse is named in the record. She was 52 according to the register. However, PRDH (Programme de recherche en démographie du Québec) and Nos Origines website give the date 28 December 1821 in Bécancour. This burial record gives her husband's name, Joseph Bourgeois, and her age: about 90 years old. Also, PRDH attributes the date of death 8 May 1792 to another Marguerite Doucet, daughter of Pierre Doucet and Marie Richard.
