Record Search

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

Origins of surname

We have no information on the derivation of this French surname, which came to Jersey from Brittany. However, it is likely that, as with other surnames starting Bouc-, the derivation is from the French bourg-, ultimately from the Germanic buk-, signifying someone living in a fortified area.

However, if the name is a true variant of Boucaud, it could also signify someone living in or near a little wood.

Early records

Jean Louis Boucault, from Lantic, France, and married to Marie Francoise, arrived in Jersey around 1900 and had five children. (See tree below). His brother also settled in Jersey and there are descendants of both branches of the family in Jersey today.

Lantic is part of the commune of Ploeuc-sur-Lie in the department of Cotes d'Armor in north Brittany, from where a significant number of today's Jersey families came as seasonal farmworkers in the second half of the 19th century.
