Descendants of George Gruchy



This tree is an example of one made difficult in early generations by misleading evidence. [1]

Gruchy 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

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

  1. ↑ Proof of the paternity of George, generation 1, probably lies in correspondence with Guernsey sources. An online tree has Jean Francois Gruchy, the stated father of George, in generation 1, as son of Francois Gruchy (1782- ) and Sara Marguerite, nee Amy. Francois senior is then identified as the son of Francois Gruchy (1745-1818) and Susanne Dorey. Neither affiliation has been confirmed
  2. ↑ Of the Vingtaine du Nord, St John, 1835-1851, then of Sand Street, and other addresses, St Helier. He was latterly of Evergreen Cottage, Bagot. He was a master shoemaker, employing three men: 1851 Census, St John. George`s census entries were only consistent in 1861 and 1871 in giving his place of birth as Guernsey. In 1851 it was given as St John and in 1881 and 1891 it was given as Trinity. On his first marriage, he was stated as being of St John. At his second marriage in 1876, aged 62 years, he said that he was born in St Saviour, the son of Jean Francois Gruchy, carpenter. In the light of all this uncertainty, it has been decided to commence this tree with George, himself, to which can be added later any further discoveries, perhaps from Guernsey
