ELUSIVE DOUCETTE SIBLING
Jean-Avite Doucette called Harvey (born on August 7, 1896 in East Quinan, Nova Scotia) married Beatrice Muise on November 15, 1915. Beatrice was the daughter of Peter Muise and Martha Roach of Yarmouth. Jean-Avite and Beatrice were my grandparents.
Jean-Avite and Beatrice had 16 children with only 8 living to adulthood. Upon beginning my research, I had 9 names at my disposal. It has been through the diligent assistance of three women living in the US, as well as my father’s first cousin that I have been successful in identifying 15/16 children. I am now missing but ONE sibling.
* Mary May Doucette was born on December 1, 1916 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
* John Doucette was born on October 14, 1918 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
* Peter Doucette was born on 28 Jan 1920 in supposedly in the States. Peter died of a heart attack.
* Helen Doucette was born in 1921 in supposedly in the States. She died on 2 Aug 1998 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
* David Percy called “Popeye” Doucette was born on 26 Feb 1923 in Reading, Massachusetts. Percy died as a result of a heart attack/drowning.
* George Harvey called “Harvey” Doucette was born on 29 May 1924 in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Harvey died at about the age of 24 years, possibly from leukemia.
* William Doucette was born on 19 Mar 1926 in Wakefield, Massachusetts.
* Raymond L Doucette was born on 19 Mar 1926 in Wakefield, Massachusetts. He died on 19 Mar 1926 in Wakefield, Massachusetts.
* William Henry Doucette was born on 26 Jun 1927 in Reading, Massachusetts. He died on 29 Aug 1927 in Reading, Massachusetts. Cause of death is noted as being gastro-enteritis. This information was acquired through Theresa Bond at the Reading Public Library.
* Beatrice Doucette was born on 10 Jul 1928 in Reading, Massachusetts. She died on 20 June 1933.
* Jean Doucette was born on 13 Feb 1931 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. She died on 28 December 1931.
* John Doucette was born on 13 Feb 1931 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. He died in Apr 1989 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
* Martha Doucette was born on 22 Aug 1932 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
* Anthony Doucette was born on 2 Mar 1935 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
* Albert called “Al” Doucette (born on May 3, 1936 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia) was my father. He died on July 24, 2000.
If anyone can suggest possible birth years for me to tackle, I would be open to their suggestions. Given that the Massachusetts born siblings were born between Reading and Wakefield, I would also be open to mystery solving possibilities.
