In common with the majority of our trees, this descendancy has been subject to regular review by site editors and checked against Jersey church records. Trees including French ancestry have also been checked as far as possible against French primary records. It is not always possible to carry out such checks on sections of trees with United Kingdom and/or colonial content

Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, 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 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.

Notes and references

↑ The first three generations of this tree are based upon deeds in the late Miss Julia Marett`s La Haule archive. The Rev J A Messervy established the identity of the father of Francois Nicolle, Rector of St Saviour. The descent then largely follows that published in J B Payne's Armorial of Jersey (1865), to which has been added some of the findings of Pepperell, a Jersey genealogist working in the 1960s, whose papers are now at La Société Jersiaise. The descendants of Jean Nicolle, son of Thomas, in generation 6, were extracted by Messervy for Guy de Gruchy, in the early 20th century, and have now been added, with supporting evidence from extentes. Early dates of birth are estimated and have been adjusted to allow for Drouet (generation 1) being of age in 1430
↑ Drouet Nicolle was of age and mentioned in a surviving legal document, dated 1430. He was thus probably born about 1400 and his son about 1430, as now shown: Pepperell papers, at La Société Jersiaise, the source probably being a deed in the La Haule archive

↑ Sold Fief Burrey in 1499
↑ J B Payne's Armorial of Jersey (1865). The Rev J A Messervy, in ABSJ VI, wrote: Nicolas Dirvault (or Diruald) was a Juré-Justicier [Jurat] in 1274. The Vingtaine de la Quéruée [in St Martin] was anciently La Quéruée ès Dirvaults or La franche Quéruée ès Dirvaults (1660). In 1755 one still said le Fief de la Quéruée ès Dirvaults [Ex 104, p209]. It took its name from the Dirvault family, formerly important in St Martin, but extinct in Jersey since the end of the 16th century. In 1331 Herbert Dyrvaud, for the Caruée ès Dyrvaus, owed the King an annual rente. In 1557 Hugh Perrin sold to Hugh Dirvault 100 quartiers of wheat rente. He was the same Hugh Dirvault, native of Jersey, who was in 1565 Merchant at Hamptonne (Southampton). The Dirvault family became extinct in St Martin, in the person of Marie Dirvault, daughter of Jean, and wife of Thomas Nicolle, grandfather of Edmond Nicolle, who was living in 1600. Another branch which was formerly established in St Peter, left its name to the Fief of La Hougue Dirvault
↑ The descendants of Thomas Nicolle and Rachel Morel are transcribed as seen, from J B Payne's Armorial of Jersey, a genealogy with few dates. Some estimated dates have been added
↑ There is nothing in J B Payne's Armorial of Jersey to indicate which wife was the mother of some, or all, of Henry`s children
↑ Captain, Militia
↑ Seigneur of the Fief Luce de Carteret
↑ Of Oaklands, St Lawrence; Captain, Militia
↑ Settled in St Helier
↑ Extente (1607): Edmond Nicoll, for John Nicoll in right of his mother, the daughter of John Dirvat [Dirvault] owed the Crown annually 2 cabots. He also owed 5 sous (the 1607 cash value of 6 cabots) in right of the same. This provides the name of Edmond`s father, paternal grandmother and great-grandfather. The Extente entries below, demonstrate his descendants
↑ Extente (1668): Thomas Cabot son of Collin [Nicolas] daughter of Edmond Nicolle owed the Crown two annual payments, one of 2 cabots and one of 6 cabots of wheat, that Edmond had owed in 1607. In the Extente (1749) the sum was owed by Nicolas Cabot, son of Thomas, son of Nicolas, son of Thomas
↑ From Court records, Jean Nicolle, son of Thomas, settled d`auprès de la Hougue - near La Hougue Bie - in St Saviour, in which parish his children were mostly baptised. In accordance with a practice well-established in 16th and 17th century Jersey, there were, in this same generation, two brothers named Jean, , sons of Thomas. The former settled in St Helier, the latter in St Saviour. A third brother, featured in J B Payne's Armorial of Jersey, named Thomas Nicolle, who remained in St Martin, where he had descendants
↑ There were two contemporary Edmond Nicolles, who were first cousins. The baptisms of the several children of this Edmond, in St Saviour, which has an earlier surviving register than that of his cousin`s parish, St Helier, enables their unambiguous identification
↑ Rector of St Saviour, 1530-1540: ABSJ VII, in which the Rev J A Messervy named his father as Drouet and his principal heir in 1559, as Guillaume Gaudin
