Researcher's notes

Provenance

This coffin plate for Godfrey Thibideau (1863–1918) was found with the coffin plate of Rosn Thibodean (1901–1923) in Ontario Canada. I think that Rosn may be short for Rose.

1911 Canada Census

I went and had a hunt for Rosn Thibodean or Rose and Godfrey Thibidean in the 1911 Canada Census on Ancestry.com. I found several individuals of interest as you can see below.
