James Paquette

James — Margaret. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The 1880 US Census indicates that Mary's father was born in Canada and her mother was born in Ireland. The family surname and her Quebec origin (per her marriage record) suggests that Mary's father was French Canadian. Family lore relates that he may have had some native (North American Indian) ancestry as well.

Mary married Michael Joseph Keefe 31 Mar 1872, Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, United States. Michael (son of Edward Keefe and Margaret Rossiter) was born 21 Sep 1838, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died 22 Jul 1923, Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, United States. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Birth:
This birth record is rather confusing. The transcribed date on familysearch.org says he was born Jan. 20, 1873. I see it as Jan. 29. Child was recorded as just Edward, but in later documents he is identified as Edward Joseph or Joseph E. In this record, his parents were recorded incorrectly as Joseph Keefe and Ann P. Keefe both from St. John's [Newfoundland]. Joseph (i.e Michael J.) is listed as a laborer.
