Record Search


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

Sauteur is the French word for jumper and may refer either to an athlete or a tumbler.

However, the name could also come from the Latin saltuarius for forester, or, according to French sources, from a cooper who arranged fish in barrels.

Early history in Jersey

The first mention of the name Le Sauteur in Jersey dates from 1528, in the Extentes, but the family will have been established long before that.

At this date a Jean Le Sauteur was living in Grouville. An indication of the antiquity of the family in Jersey is the fact that among the many fiefs in the Island is that of Le Fief ès Sauteux (or le Fief aux Sauteux) which is in La Vintaine des Marais, Grouville.

Branches were eventually established in every parish of the east of the Island.

Though perhaps not outstanding, the family has been down the centuries of good yeoman stock (dé bouonne cliâsse, in Jèrriais), very many of them ordinary but nevertheless often eminent members who will have contributed, as hundreds of thousands of other Jersiais, to the life and welfare of our beloved, and their beloved Île de Jersey in all ways and means, in all trades and professions but especially so as humble but subtantial members of the farming community .

The name appears in the Extente of 1528 but a Fief Sauteur can be dated back to 1300.

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
