Chénier Family

Yesterday I worked on the Chénier family. Jean Baptiste Chénier married Anna Racine 15 May 1882 at Montréal. Jean Baptiste was born at Les Cédres 22 Feb 1858 and Anna was born at Ste Scholastique 19 Oct 1858. Their marriage lines showed Jean Baptiste to be the son of Cyprien Chénier and Octavie Campeau. The parents of Anna Racine were Edouard Racine and Elisabeth Douras. The name Douras is hard to read in the register and I am still not positive on the spelling of this surname. However a check for the name in Ireland reveals this to be the spelling and this is an Irish family. Elisabeth and her siblings came to Québec with their father James likely following the death of their mother Mary Attewell in Ireland. Since she married in 1848 they arrived prior to that and possibly during the Irish Famine Emigrations.

Cyprien Chénier married Octavie Campeau 13 Aug 1855 at Vaudreuil. He was born 31 Jul 1831 at Les Cédres and she was born 7 Oct 1834 at Coteau du Lac. Their marriage lines gave the names of their parents.

Parents of Cyprien Chénier were: Joseph Antoine Chénier and Marie Charlotte Levac. I have not yet found their marriage.

Parents of Octavie Campeau were Louis Campeau and Marie Angélique Cousineau and their married 18 Feb 1822 at Vaudreuil.

Fortunately I was able to find the parents of Joseph Antoine Chénier as he was born 10 Jun 1782 at Pointe-Claire and baptized 12 Jun 1782 at St Joachim. His parents were Joseph Marie Chénier and Marie Rose Brabant who married 29 Jul 1776 at Pointe Claire.

Continuing back in the Chénier family, Joseph Marie Chénier was born 15 Aug 1743 at Carillon and his parents were Joseph Julien Chénier and Marie Josephte (Céleste) Pilet. Julien and Marie Josette were married 21 Nov 1740 at Lachine.
