Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

Notes and references

  1. ↑ of Maufant Farm, St Saviour
  2. ↑ Of Pigneaux, St Saviour
  3. ↑ Of Longueville, St Saviour
  4. ↑ Philippe bought a house and land in 1803 to the north of Maufant Farm and incorporated the land into that inherited by him in 1804, as eldest son, on his father`s death. This was described in 1851 as totalling 45 vergées. In 1824 he bought the house adjoining, and to the south of the nearby Calvinist Chapel. In addition to property owning, Philippe may have been one of the two master mariners of this name living at the start of the 19th century, and co-owner of the 60-ton sloop, Young Eliza, which was lost in January 1809 off La Tour de Rozel
  5. ↑ Of Les Côtils, Rozel, Trinity
  6. ↑ Died abroad
  7. ↑ Died abroad. Abraham, who was of St Saviour and nephew of A de Gruchy, was almoner of St Saviour, 1822-3, but disappeared from his parish shortly afterwards. The family`s neighbour, Jeanneton Beaugié, having given birth out of wedlock to a son she named Abraham de Gruchy (1824-1843), may have had something to do with this. From his father's partage in 1833, it is evident that Abraham had died by then, without [lawful] issue. This applied also to his brothers Philippe, Moise and Jean
  8. ↑ Heir of his father (1832)
  9. ↑ Vingtenier of Maufant, 1856-
  10. ↑ Of Laurel Lands, Maufant (1844). He was a master mariner, employed on ships owned by François Hocquard. Marriage in 1843 led to his retirement from the sea the following year. Despite being a sixth son, Elie inherited all of his late father`s land, as heir in 1839 of his brother Edouard, the fifth son. In 1844 he built Laurel Lands, the choice of name marking his political allegiance, on a field he owned on the east side of the Maufant main road. In 1848 he bought from his brother-in-law, François Ahier, the adjoining farm, with its 26 vergées. He thus owned, with his late father's 45 vergées, 71 vergées of farmland, with a rates assessment of 331 quartiers. He was a rates assessor in 1864 but died two years later. A photograph of him, seated, with his son Elie Philippe standing behind the chair, shows him to have been a stocky man of medium height
  11. ↑ Master mariner
  12. ↑ OV, BSc (Caen); a medical student. He died from an illness contracted when furthering his studies at the Sorbonne, before becoming a doctor. A photograph of him, in the album of the late Miss Maud Ogier, his niece, shows him to have been a tall, thin, young man
  13. ↑ Engraved on the north extension of La Maitrerie, Queruée, St Martin: 18 TG♥ JMdeG 92
  14. ↑ Deputy of St Martin, 1890-95. Issue: Louisa Jane Gaudin ( -1941), the eldest daughter and heir m Walter Arthur Stocker ( -1941) of The Cedars, Flicquet; Lt-Colonel RMIJ, commanding the Jersey contingent, 1915, Flanders; and Lydia Madge Gaudin m Walter Collis Gruchy of Bishopstown, Trinity

Apart from his native Jèrriais, he spoke fluent French and English, and had learnt, when a boy in the 1820s, from Spanish Constitutional exiles, their language, in which he was fluent. As much of his shipping firm`s business was with Spanish America, this was a considerable asset. He was on the 1862 Committee for the Restoration of the Town Church, one of the original backers of the Jersey Eastern Railway Company and was Constable of St Saviour, 1872-1878
  24. ↑ Of Camberwell, Surrey, Stockbroker (1818), formerly Marine Insurance Broker (1809) at Lloyd's Coffee House, which became eventually Lloyd's of London. A talk by the author of these notes, entitled Our First Englishwoman (Louisa Chapman), was delivered to the Channel Islands Family History Society on 27 February 2012 and summarised by Frank Le Blancq in The Journal, (CIFHS), Number 134, Volume IX, April 2012. The subject included biographical sketches of members of the Burrell family of London, including Percy Burrell, a civil engineer working in 19th century South America, who was caught up in, and interned during, the war between Brazil and Paraguay. It also featured the "First Englishwoman's" grandmaternal family, Richardson of London. Members of this family had been employed almost continuously from 1754 until 1948 in India, in the Honourable East India Company`s Service and the Indian Army, two of whom attained the rank of general. Details of a small part of this family, being that of the wife of Charles Richardson of the Bengal Light Cavalry, have been published online at https://www.speedy.co.nz/recollections/
  25. ↑ Founder of the City of London auction house, Charles Burrell and Sons (1782)
  26. ↑ Of Rochebois, St Aubin; Barrister-at-Law (Gray`s Inn), antiquary and banker, Captain RJM, Constable of St Helier, Jurat, co-founder of La Société Jersiaise. His collated and annotated edition of the French and Latin texts of L`Ancienne Coutume de Normandie was published in 1881, and was for many years the standard text book for students of Jersey law. He was the author of papers on various other learned subjects. See Balleine, G R, A Biographical Dictionary of Jersey.
  27. ↑ Authoress of two novels, Lalage (1876) and Octavia`s Lovers (1880) and of a volume of verse, Under the Hawthorn (1893). The de Gruchy and Briard connection with the Fortescues was derived from Augusta`s Huntingdonshire family
  28. ↑ Of Bulwark House, St Aubin. Maud also inherited in 1897 Millbrook Lodge, near Mont Félard, which had been built for her maternal grandfather in 1864 on former dune land, with sea views to the south, over St Aubin`s Bay. This she sold in 1921
  29. ↑ OV; Capt RMIJ
  30. ↑ Seigneur of Noirmont, Medieval historian of Jersey; Constable of St Brelade and Jurat. President and benefactor of La Société Jersiaise; ornithologist. See A Biographical Dictionary of Jersey

  32. ↑ Twin brother of Sir Francis Norie Miller, Bart of Cleeve; Liberal National MP for Perth and Justice of the Peace. Both of his sons fought in the Great War, one was killed in action and the other, a Captain in The Black Watch, winning a Military Cross. The family was connected by marriage to Field Marshal Earl Roberts of Kandahar, VC, the British Commander-in-Chief during the South African War. His great-nephew, Mrs de Gruchy`s cousin, Sir Euan Miller, KCB, KBE, DSO, MC, DL, was the family`s most successful soldier. He served in the Great War, winning his Military Cross in 1918, commanded the 2nd Battalion, (60th) King`s Royal Rifle Corps at the Siege of Calais (1940), was ADC to King George VI, 1946-1948, commanded a division in Hanover, 1948-1949 and was Chief of Staff, Middle East Land Forces, 1949-51, before becoming Military Secretary to the Secretary of State for War
  33. ↑ Grand-daughter of William Percival (1778-1849) FRCS of Northampton, who was appointed Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons on the creation of the Fellowship, in 1843. A cousin was the unfortunate G.O.C. Malaya, who surrendered Singapore, in February 1942
  34. ↑ In June 1810 the father of Mr Nicholls, when riding home one evening from Stamford, Lincolnshire, was accosted by a highwayman, bearing an extremely large cudgel, who seized the reins of his horse and demanded his money. Nicholls handed over his wallet, whereupon the thief carefully examined the contents. On being told that that was all the money Nicholls had to assist him on a journey, the man handed back some of the money and turned to make his departure. Nicholls, however, called him back, requesting the wallet itself be returned. The man agreed, saying "There it is; and here is a ten-pound bill too, more than I want", as a goodwill gesture: The Universal Magazine, June 1810. The comparative value of the money handed back as being surplus to the highwayman`s needs, would have been about £550 in 2017
  35. ↑ Served in the Army Pay Corps during WW11, before settling in Nottingham. He had a flair for languages, principally French and Spanish, but did not enjoy speaking them. He undertook, though, translation work at the time of the United Kingdom`s preparations for entering the Common Market. He was an able writer of short stories, but was considerably hindered by a notable degree of autism and lifelong, chronic asthma. He never married
  36. ↑ Dame de Noirmont. Educated at Godolphin and the Jersey Ladies College, she was a Civil Defence Light Rescue Squad (Mechanised Transport Corps) ambulance driver in Lambeth during the Blitz of London. Her worst memory was helping to extricate dismembered bodies of small children from the ruins of a bombed junior school and then having to drive them all to a mortuary. After the blitz, she was a WRNS driver at Dover, when her windscreen was blown out by enemy gunfire. She refused a replacement on the grounds that without one, "it cannot be blown out again." She was a poetess, whose work is intended eventually for publication
