Notes for Joseph Pitre:
Parentage: Joseph Pitre's birth/baptism is noted in the St. Polycarpe, Petit Rocher register as 11 Apr 1880, illegitimate son of Marie Pitre. Sponsors were P.L. Boudreau & Madeleine Hebert. In the 1881 Beresford census Joseph age 1 appears as the grandson of Pierre Pitre & Rose (Grant). His mother Marie 22 is also living with the family. There appears to be another son born to Marie and noted in the same register as Francois Pitre, born/baptized on 24 Aug 1884. Although this birth is not noted as illegitimate, the register again records only his mother as Marie Pitre, with sponsors Marcel Boudreau & Marguerite Bertin. The 1891 census has both boys, Joseph 11 & Frank 7 listed as grandsons of Peter M. Pitre & Rose (Grant). Marie is not recorded. I can find no further information on her. Francois 16 is again listed as grandson to the now widowed Rose Pitre in the 1901 Beresford census. No record of Joseph.
Marriage: The Ste. Anne, Sudbury, ONT register lists Joseph's marriage to Catherine Boudreau as married 1 Jun 1902, Joseph Pitre, son of Pierre/Rose Grant & Catherine Boudreau, daughter of Louis/Marie Doucet, witnesses Joseph Lavigne & Alex Mallette.
Death: New Brunswick Death records: Joseph Pitre, Robertville, Beresford, died 23 Mar 1917, age 35, farmer, born Robertville, consumption
Census
- 1901
The two entries in the 1911 census seem to be the same family. As the census was conducted over a period of time, it's feasible that the family moved between addresses so therefore were recorded twice.
- 1911 Ste. Louise, Beresford, Gloucester, New Brunswick: Joseph P. Pitre 29 (May 1882) cultivator/works at mine, wife Catherine 36 (May 1875), Nestor 6 (Oct 1904), Eveline 5 (Sep 1905), Edde 3 (Feb 1908), Elionor 1 (male) (Dec 1909) - all b. NB [Ste. Louise, Beresford, p. 7]
- 1911 Bathurst, Gloucester, NB: Joseph Pitre 27 (Apr 1884) laborer/works at mines, wife Catherine 30 (Dec 1881), Joseph 6 (Oct 1904, USA - immig. 1907), Eveline 5 (Sep 1905), Jean 3 (Jan 1908), Alphonse 1 (Dec 1909), cousin John Briar 23 (May 1885) laborer at mines [25 July 1911, Bathurst 27/2, p. 3]
Notes for Catherine Boudreau:
- L'Evangeline (NB), 10 April 1919: Ste. Therese (Robertville) - On request, Dr. Veniot went to the home of Mrs. Vve Jos Pitre, where he cared for a young son of the latter who was dangerously ill. Two days later the mother and child so promptly escaped to Maine, USA. Mr. Veniot is a most skilful physician and deserves all our confidence and encouragement. Tuesday, April 4; Mrs. Vve Joseph-P. Pitre of Middle Sainte-Louise was embarking for Stockholm, Maine where she is to reside in the future. Our wishes go with her.
- After Joseph's death in 1917 from consumption (recorded as age 35), his widow married widower Paul St. Peter in 1919 in N. Caribou, Maine. Paul also had children from his previous marriage.
