Notes and references
- ↑ A strange mixture of French and English. Perhaps chosen because the house overlooks St Peter's Valley/Vallee de St Pierre
- ↑ We have not been able to place the couple in any of our family trees. We have found their marriage in St St Peter register. There are no baptism records for any children of the couple
