There is no death record for this Anne Catherine in the Brevelliers' records. The estimate of her death date is derived from the subsequent birth of an identically named child to her parents.
She may have died en route to Rotterdam with the family of her mother and step-father. The Brevilliers' exit-lists show the Bizets as leaving with three daughters, yet the passenger list from Rotterdam show them as sailing with just two daughters. These two daughters are accounted for in Nova Scotia. The most likely "third daughter" would be Catherine Elizabeth, who was 17 years old and possibly not yet married.Death Note
She likely died enroute to the port of Rotterdam, while accompanting her mother and step-father to Nova Scotia.
