Record Search


Direct links to lists of baptisms, marriages and burials for the Hamelin family can be found under Family Records opposite. If you want to search for records for a spelling variant of Hamelin, 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.

New records

From August 2020 we have started adding records from non-Anglican churches, and this process will continue as more records, held by Jersey Archive, are digitised and indexed. Our database now includes buttons enabling a search within registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These records will automatically appear within the results of any search made from this page.

Origin of surname

Possibly a diminuitive of Hamel, this is a name found in France mainly in the Manche and Ile-et-Vilaine departments, the closest to Jersey.

There are also suggestions that it is not connected to Hamel at all, but derived from the old German personal name 'Hamelin'.

Early records

Baptism registers in Jersey contain the name as far back as 1603, starting in Grouville. There were 53 baptisms in all during the 17th century but then the name disappears from island records, to return in the 1830s, with the children of Pierre Francois Hamelin and Elizabeth Queree. It is presumed that the Hamelin family died out in the 18th century because Pierre Francois, who married Elizabeth in St Martin in 1830, was a new immigrant from nearby France.

It has not been possible to place two sets of Hamelin parents in either of the trees below:

Abraham and Elizabeth Dumaresq had five children baptised in St Martin between 1639 and 1647 - Anne, Moyse, Susanne, Jeanne and Hugh.
Helier, the name of whose wife is not known, had five children baptised in St Brelade between 1687 and 1693 - Anne, Rachel, Judith, Charles and Elizabeth

Tips

The church record links above will open in a new tab in your browser and generate the most up-to-date list of each set of records from our database. These lists replace earlier Family page baptism lists, which were not regularly updated. They have the added advantage that they produce a chronological listing for the family name in all parishes, so you do not have to search through A-Z indexes, parish by parish.

We have included some important spelling variants on some family pages, but it may be worth searching for records for a different spelling variant. Think of searching for variants with or without a prefix, such as Le or De. To search for further variants, or for any other family name, just click on the appropriate link below for the first letter of the family name, and a new tab will open, giving you the option to choose baptism, marriage or burial records. You will then see a list of available names for that type of record and you can select any name from that list. That will display all records of the chosen type for that family name, and you can narrow the search by adding a given name, selecting a parish or setting start and end dates in the form you will see above. You can also change the family name, or search for a partial name if you are not certain of the spelling

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.

New records

Since August 2020 we have added several thousand new records from the registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These will appear in date order within a general search of the records and are also individually searchable within the database search form
