Descendants of Francois Le Gresley

Descendants of Francois Le Gresley

Although we have been able to add further generations to this tree, submitted in 2018, it has not proved possible to go back beyond generation 1. There were nine Francois Le Gresleys born in St Ouen at a time which could have made them the husband of Magdeleine. It is not clear from their marriage record whether just Magdeleine was born in St Ouen, or both of them. If Francois was born in St John, where they married, identifying him is further complicated by absence of any baptism records for Francois Le Gresleys in St John.

Researching this tree is further complicated by the fact that two Francois Le Gresley from St Ouen, born in 1772, married in 1803. We believe that we show the correct descendancy here

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.
