Surname Doucett or Doucet

So I have a funny story to share about this last name. Supposedly, my Great-Great Grandmother Evelyn Tait (Doucett) swore that the man she married Elsmore Guy Doucett was not of the French Doucett's and in fact was an English man. However, that was not found to be the case at all. He was in fact Canadian/French and his ancestors came from France. I guess maybe it was the time period when the English didn't like the French because Evelyn herself was English and marring a French guy was probably a "No-No". Now I'm going to move forward with the Doucett (which the last name changes a few times through history but is of the same origin). As always, if you have any comments/corrections or questions don't hesitate to let me know!
