Daughter of Narcisse and Eugene (Faucher) Lessard. Sister to Rose, Alice, Eva and Emilie Lessard. Wife of Frederic Coffin. Mother of Rita Coffin.
The 1901 Canadian census shows Mary, living with her mother and sisters as a toddler in Quebec, Canada. This record as shows us her middle name. The family's religion is documented as Roman Catholic.
Mary married Frederic on August 23, 1920 in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Since the groom resided in Maine at the time of the marriage, the marriage is recorded in both states.
Shortly before being married, Mary was counted in the 1920 census with her parents and siblings. This lists her birthplace as Canada although the family was now living in Somersworth, New Hampshire. By the time they took the census, Mary was working as a laborer in a cotton mill. Her date of immigration is 1902 which is the same/ similar to the rest of the family listed with her.
Ten years later, she is living with her husband and a daughter in the next census. The family has settled in Somersworth, New Hampshire where Mary had lived with her parents before getting married. Since she is married and has a child, Mary is no longer working like recorded in the 1920 census. Like her husband her first language is listed as French.
The family is older in the next census of 1940. However they are still living in Somersworth, New Hampshire. The information included in this record reiterates most of the information from earlier census records.
In 1942, when her husband completes a draft card for WWII, she is listed as the next of kin.
Little is known about Mary's later years. She was predeceased by her husband, a sister (Alice) and both her parents. She was survived by her daughter Rita and sister, Rose.
