Mentioned on the manifest of the SS Vancouver, as arriving on April 2, 1905, in Halifax, NS, from Liverpool, England among 63 members of the following families, nearly all from Guern or nearby villages, all destined for Red Deer in what was to become Alberta, but a missionary aboard convinced them all to head for St-Claude, instead:
Cloaree, Corbeil, Couronne, Dacquay, Dondo, David, Gloux, Guigneno, Jute, Kervegant, Le Bris, Le Brun, Le Carre, Le Devehet / Le Devehat, Le Franc, Le Francheur, Le Gourrince, Le Mial, Le Pape, Maurre, Puybasset, Philippe, Phillipot, Rebiffe, Zegouzo
From a family album prepared in 2002:
Mathurin was born in Lann-Sarre in Guern Morbihan, France. He left France at the age of 9 and departed for Canada with his parents and four sisters, Marguerite (and new husband Gaston Rebiffe), Marie Louise, Mathurine, and Marie. Mathurin was very knowledgeable and had surely had some schooling in Canada since he was very proficient in reading, writing and arithmetic.
His patriotism forced him to return to France in April, 1915, where he served in the army during the First World War. He returned to Canada in October, 1919. On April 6, 1921, he married Albertine Sibilleau, daughter of Louis Sibilleau and Anastasie Bourleau. Together, they settled on a farm north of St-Claude where their first son, Julien, was born on the spring of 1926.
They moved to Beauvallon, Alberta in early 1929. Their 2nd son, Louis was born in June 10, 1929 just before the family moved to Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan. They lived in Meadow Lake for a short time until they left for France in 1931. Their plan was to head for Britanny but they boarded the wrong train and found themselves in Normandy at Morteaux Couliboeuf and at La Hoguette. They fell in love with the area and decided to stay. Albert, Helene, Rose and Rene were born at La Hoguette.
Tragedy struck in 1944 when Julien died accidentally during the invasion of Normandy. Heartache occurred once more in 1945 when Louis, their second son, passed away.
Both sons were buried at the cemetery in La Hoguette. Mathurin passed away on January 2, 1951 and was buried with his sons at La Hoguette.
Albertine returned to her birthplace of Saint-Claude on August 3rd, 1954 with her daughter Rose and son Rene.
She was preceded in death by Albert in May of 1953 and Helene in November of the same year.
Albertine passed away on March 15, 1966 and was laid to rest in the Saint-Claude cemetery.
