Name |
Ana Cecilia Fouque [1] |
Birth |
9 Oct 1807 |
New Orleans, Louisiana [2, 3, 4] |
- Birthdate in the family record is 9 Oct. 1807. Birthdate is given in the cathedral record as 23 Oct. 1807, which is after her given baptismal date of 13 June 1807. I go with the family record, and assume the baptismal record is one year off.
|
Baptism |
13 Jun 1808 |
St. Louis Cathedral, New Orleans, Louisiana [3] |
- Cathedral record shows 13 June 1807, which conflicts with the Cathedral record of the birthdate as 23 Oct. 1807.

Notes |
- I take her name from her marriage record, which is the same as on her cathedral baptismal record. Her baptismal record also names her parents. She is Aurore on her death certificate. On her marriage record she is named as the daughter of Ysavel Fouque.
She is called a native of St. Bernard on her marriage certificate. This may refer to where her parents were living when she was married, but it does not seem to be her birth place.
On the St. Domingue Indemnity Record for her family, she is Marie Cecile Fouque. I am indebted to Angela duQuesnay-Garcia for this information and for her work on the Fouque and duQuesnay ancestry on this site (S83 under "Sources").
The name confusion could be because she had several names, or because she changed it coming to New Orleans, or because "Aurore" on her death certificate was how her family knew her. There is a possiblity that "Aurore" and "Marie Cecile" are sisters, but for now, I assume they are the same until further evidence comes along.
There is this possibly related NOLA death record:
Fauque, Jean . . . 28 yrs . . . M . . . W . . . 08/18/1837 . . . [vol] 7 . . . [page] 202
The Parish Court Index for New Orleans gives this undated entry:
Plaintiff: Fouque, Anne Cecile
Defendant: Fernandez, Jh. M. (husband)
Number: 8359
In 1847 her name appears in the Notarial Archives document in the index to some work by Adolphe Mazureau, Notary Public in order, presumably, to settle her husband's estate:
Fernandez, Mrs. Ann Cecile Fongue [sic], widow of Joseph Marie Fernandez
From John Ragan
Release from Mortgage, May 14, 1847
The 1849 New Orleans Notarial Archives list this entry in the Adolphe Mazureau indexes:
Ternandez [sic]
Mrs. Anne C. Fougue {sic], widow of Joseph M. Fernandez
from Mrs. Lorenzo M. Fernandez, wife of Daniel Maupay
Sale of property
Jan. 6, 1849 #10
She is described as "mulatto" on the 1850 census, but this seems to be the only place. She is "white" on censuses thereafter. Her death certificate also says she is white. [1, 6, 7]
