Edouard’s Early Years
Edouard and Olive Savoie
Olive Savoie was born in 1834, the daughter of Jean and Monique (neé Comeau) Savoie. She married Edouard in 1856 and together they had seven daughters.
Ned was a farm labourer in the area of Alnwick New Brunswick in 1861. With him were his wife, Olive, and two daughters. By 1871, Ned Breau had moved from French Cove to Lot 9 and became a farmer himself. At that time, he appeared to be the only resident in the large tract of land which constitutes Lots 9, 10 and 11, granted to the three Mazerolle's: Peter, Simon and Luke. The 1871 census shows Ned and Olive as illiterate. Ned acquired Lot 9 probably through his connection with the Mazerolle family as his mother was a Mazerolle
