Record Search


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

Pre-1500 arms researched by Julian Wilson. G F B de Gruchy wrote in 1922 that arms borne in the 17th century by the Rev Josué Pallot were: "Argent, a palm tree proper". They appear to be the only authentic arms borne by Jersey Pallots

Origin of Surname

A wide variety of explanations have been put forward for the derivation of the Jersey surname Pallot.

It is suggested that the name is derived from the French surname Paillette, found in some numbers in Normandy today. There are also some 1,300 Pallots listed in the directory of telephone subscribers throughout France.

Paillette, found in Normandy as early as 1273, is derived from Medieval French paillettte (sequin), suggestion that it originally referred to a maker of gold and silver sequins; Paillette could also be the feminine form of paillet, old Fench for an ear of wheat, indicating a winnower.

Another theory, put forward by a French authority, is that Pallot is a variant of Pallas, who was a mythical Greek goddess.

The most recent suggestion, which seems to us to be highly logical, is that the name could be derived from a diminutive of the Biblical given name Paul. As Pierre gave rise to a diminutive, Pierrot or Perrot, Paul would have produced Paul(l)ot, and then Pallot. Moreover, the Jersey Norman-French pronunciation of Paul, as 'Pol', a given name once used regularly in families such as the Vaudins, is known to have given rise to the pronunciation of Pallot as 'Pollot'. The following article includes a suggestion that the name could be linked to the Paulet family from England, who held office as Bailiff and Governor in Jersey in the 16th century, but we can find no evidence to support this theory.

Early records

The name appears in the Assize Roll of 1309, with mention being made of Nicolaa, wife of Jean Pallot, and in the 1331 Extente, in which several of the name are shown as holding land in St Saviour and St Martin, being parishes long associated with the surname.

Guillaume Pallot was Rector of St Lawrence, 1337-1340.

Michel and Collas Pallot were archers at the Castle in 1338, as was Collas junior in 1340.

Collas, Guillaume and Jehan appear in the Jersey Chantry Certificate of 1550.

Baptismal records start in the early registers, with an entry in St Saviour in 1544.

Jean Pallot was one of the Undermasters at the one-time College de la Ville in 1600 and then Regent of St Mannelier Grammar School for no less than sixty years. His son, Josue Pallot, was Rector of St Clement, 1643-1652, and again after the Restoration of the Monarchy, 1660-1672. Between 1672-1693, Josue was Rector of Grouville.

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. 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

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
