Name Raphael Comeau Born 26 Mar 1816 [1] Gender Male Baptised 19 May 1816 [1] - His godparents were Raphael Caumeau and Marie LeBlanc.
Buried 7 Mar 1864 Minudie, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia [2, 3] - Believed to be his burial because the name is Raphael T Comeau and Raphael's father is Stanislas\Tanis Comeau. Also, Raphael pre-deceased his wife.-note by A.Owen,April2014
Occupation Jun 1867 [4] a stonecutter Residence Minudie, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia [2] - Although the Comeau genealogy at the back of Paul Surette's book, Histoire des Trois-Rivières, Vol.II indicates that Raphael left Minudie to settle in Painsec around 1855 it is uncertain whether he made the move. In April 1856 his son, Philip, is baptized in Minudie. A Raphael T Comeau is buried in Minudie in March 1864 and it is believed that this is Raphael, son of Stanislas\Tanis Comeau. His wife, Isabelle Bourque, is a widow when she is buried in Minudie on the 10th of March 1874.-note by A.Owen,April,2014
Died Yes, date unknown Notes - On his daughter's baptism in November 1849, he is referred to as Raphael Comeau jr. It is most probable that he is the son of Raphael Comeau and Modeste Melanson. - note by A.Owen Apr2012 This presumption is wrong.-A.Owen,Mar2014
