Descendants of Etienne La Cloche

This tree was added to the site in 2012, enlarged in 2014 and reviewed in 2019. Unless stated otherwise, the reviewed and updated tree is based upon that shown for La Cloche in The Armorial of Jersey. This latter work, however, contained few dates but many of these were added in 2021 and 2022 reviews. Early dates should be treated as approximate
La Cloche family page and links to other trees
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
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
- ↑ Extente (1528), 26: "The heires of Stevyn laclosche [owing to the Crown] 12 quartiers 4 capons [for the] Mylle Malass" [Mélèches]. It is stated in The Armorial of Jersey, no doubt with accuracy, that the La Cloche family owned in the 16th century all the mills in Vallée des Vaux
- ↑ In the ABSJ 6, 80, the Rev J A Messervy, in his genealogy of the Falle family, corrects one of several errors in Payne's Armorial of Jersey, relating to the La Cloche genealogy. He describes Mabel Falle`s husband as "Thomelin", Thomelin being the diminutive of Thomas. He is described as "père d`Etienne", who is not in this generation, otherwise known. Messervy`s personal copy of the Armorial also features this amendment

- ↑ Extente of Jersey (1607), 60: Edward La Cloche, son of Etienne, son of Thomelin, owing the Crown the 12 quartiers owed in 1528 by the heirs of Stevyn laclosche for the Mill of Mélèches; a further entry mentions Edouard owing the Crown the four annual capons in discharge of Etienne La Cloche [1528]. He also owed a total of 8½ cabots in right of his mother, the daughter of Clement Bastard. He was a Captain in the Militia and Centenier of St Helier, 1597 (ABSJ 8, 86)

- ↑ Jurat, 1665-1689. As Jean de La Cloche; Colonel in the Militia. Philip Stevens, in his article entitled Philip Dumaresq, Seigneur of Samares in ABSJ Vol 31, wrote: "Charles de Carteret, who had married the Dame de La Trinité, had used his influence with Lanier (Governor of Jersey) to get his wife`s uncle-by-marriage, one La Cloche a colonelcy in the militia. Philip Dumaresq could not think of a fitter person than La Cloche. Dumaresq`s English brother-in-law, William Trumbull, described this same Jean La Cloche in 1677 as "so obscure before becoming Jurat (in 1665), having never had any businesse but at his mill, which occupation he retains still, though something to the scandal of his office". La Cloche, who at about this time started calling himself De la Cloche, was a clergyman`s son and a close cousin of the Seigneur of Longueville

Pierre inherited from his mother, Susanne Dumaresq, both the Franc Fief in St Brelade, of which he became Seigneur, and the La Haule estate. He was a Jurat from 1675.
