    Other Events:

    • Baptised: 19 May 1816
    • Occupation: Jun 1867; a stonecutter

    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
    Information received from Frank Catalli (Dec 2013- Mar2014) shows that Raphael is the son of Stanislas (Tanis) Comeau and Marie Burk. This is also shown in the Comeau Family tree at the back of Paul Surette's book Histoire des Trois-Rivières, Vol II.-note by A.Owen,Mar2014

    Residence:
    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

    Baptised:
    His godparents were Raphael Caumeau and Marie LeBlanc.

    Buried:
    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
