Bridget McCormick

Bridget McCormick was born in 1845 in Lower Canada. Bridget died July 13, 1923 in Fort Coulonge, Quebec. She was buried July 15, 1923 in Fort Coulonge, Quebec. Bridget married Eusebe Maheu(Edward Mayhew) on September 11th, 1871 at St. Ann’s church on Grand Calumet Island. Eusebe Maheu(Edward Mayhew) parents were Antoine Maheu and Suzanne LePage from LePasse, Ontario. The Baptismal record for Bridget has not been found at this point, However she died in Fort Colonge, Quebec and is buried there. Bridget & Edward had 4 children. Edward walked out on the family after their last child was born. After many years of research I discovered a record showing Edward some years later living in New York with another wife and children. In speaking with an ancestor of Bridget's, life was quite difficult but Bridget's children stayed close to her and in her later years she was living with one of her daughters in Fort Colonge, Quebec. I have made contact with descendants of Bridget's who are living in Ottawa, Ontario in 2022
