Research Notes

It is possible that the couple had a 5th child, but the birth dates on the birth registrations do not make sense.

I have found a birth registration for an Anne T. Deveau. It is difficult to read the father's name, but it does look to me to be Wlm. Deveau (though it could also be John Deveau}. The mother is listed as julia White. The birth date is June 13, 1875.

This conflicts with the birth registration for Josine Deveau which clearly shows the parents to be William Devealt and Julia White, and has a birth date of March 23, 1875

Upon confederation, the old province of Canada was divided into Ontario and Quebec; along with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the new federation thus comprised four provinces. : Last accessed online February 9, 2019 at: Canadian Confederation
