Would someone know what orphenage would be around the 1863 in Quebec City. Trying to locate my g-grandfather Pierre Cote. (Here is part of his story from his son - The patriarch, Pierre Côté had gone through a rather adventure- filled youth. Later he would love to retell these adventures to his daughter-in-law Eva who always listened attentively. He had never KNOWN HIS PARENTS. He had been abandoned by his mother in Québec City when he was TWO years old, and had been given away three times before a willing family finally welcomed him into their home. He left Québec at the age of fourteen, travelling to Vermont where he was hired as a lumberjack. There, he met a young English speaking woman (Emily or Emilie or Eulalie Beaudoin) and married her in 1886 when he was twenty- three years old. Unfortunately, one year after their marriage, she died of an unknown sickness. Shortly after his wife's death, the young widower returned to his native land and settle in Ste-Sophie, a small rural village southeast of the city of Québec. There he married in 1888 a young woman, Claudia Simoneau, with whom he was to spend the rest of his life, sharing together the pleasures of a close-knit family after the long hours of strenuous work on the farm. An elderly lady from the nearby town of St-Pierre-Baptiste, who had recently lost her husband, disclosed to Pierre that she was his long lost aunt. Needing someone to manage the farm, she prevailed upon him to move his family in with her. From this fortunate set of circumstances, he became the proud inheritor of a large farm in St-Pierre-Baptiste where the children were to grow up.)
