Descendants of Guillaume Gavey



This tree, based upon a partial Gavey research in the 1930s by Jersey genealogist Charles Langton, was added to the site in 2010. It was updated and extended by Guy Dixon in 2025, to include the merchant Gaveys, with their English descendants, the silversmith and watchmaker branch of the family, which had settled in London and then in Canada, and that of the eminent Victorian engineer, Sir John Gavey

Gavey 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.

  11. ↑ Langton has here, on the tree, a son named Gedeon, for whom no valid baptism or burial has been found. Also, as both of his sons who married were later crossed out by Langton, as were their wives, and ascribed to the family of Gedeon, son of Gedeon, below, they are now featured within that branch of the family. There is, furthermore, doubt as to the two wives ascribed to this Gedeon, who may equally have been the wives of the other Gedeon. Therefore, they are tentatively also featured below, with their respective children

  18. ↑ There is a gap during these several years in St Saviour`s registers. Langton found the parentage, however, of Edouard Gavey in court records; he did not manage, however, to identify his wife
  19. ↑ Vingtenier de la Ville, 1711; known in church registers and lawsuits as Edouard Gavey senior". A comment with regard to Edouard senior`s "treaty" with Martin [de] Gruchy, see below, was to the effect that Edouard senior had "entered it on his books". He was, perhaps, a solicitor or scrivenor
  20. ↑ No issue of this marriage
  21. ↑ Vingtenier de la Ville; Master Gunner, "Cannonier" of the Garrison (1738); known from later lawsuits as "Edouard Gavey junior"
  22. ↑ Edouard`s godparents in 1706 were his grandparents, Mr Henry Nicolle and Mse Marie Podestre (Poingdestre). The young Edouard will have died without issue as Aaron Gavey, of his father`s second marriage, was, in 1751, described as the "eldest son and principal heir". This first marriage of their father had not been without controversy. In suits before the Privy Council: Ile de Jersey, Privy Council, 1725-1771, 313 (1750), 318 (1751), it emerged that Edouard Gavey senior "had two children", the elder being Edouard Gavey junior, who "had married without the consent of his father but had died reconciled". It is stated that Edouard Gavey senior "then entered into treaty with Martin [de] Gruchee to marry Jean Gavey [his younger son] to [de] Gruchee`s daughter, to prevent the same misfortune as befell his son Edouard befalling his younger son Jean. The elder son of the prematurely deceased Edouard Gavey junior, Aaron Gavey, was the defendant at the hearing before the Court of St James (sic) on 6/12/1750 with regard to the action brought by his uncle, Jean Gavey, concerning the division of the inheritance of Edouard Gavey senior, who had died in St Helier possessed of two houses and a fair amount of rentes. Initially, the said Aaron had embarked willingly and fairly upon the division of the inherited estate; however, after some time had elapsed, he had simply "seized it"! The plaintiff had evidently gone to some lengths to caste not merely his nephew Aaron in a poor light but also the latter`s father
  23. ↑ Merchant, with shares in privateers, also Lieutenant, Militia; buried as "Mons. Aaron Gavey" (1789). His godparents were Me Edouard Gavey, grandfather, and Mse Marie Le Brocq, grandmother

  27. ↑ Lived and buried in St Saviour
  28. ↑ Civil Engineer, living in England, Belgium and Switzerland; died in Sussex. The announcement of his marriage in The Gentleman`s Magazine (1853) describes him as the "only son of the late Captain Gavey, 86th Regiment....". In his youth, he was probably the George Edward Gavey whom Langton mentions as being an Ensign, Militia
  29. ↑ Of Brook`s Hall, Ipswich; (Opthalmic) Surgeon in 1887, then Medical Practitioner, who was to serve in the South African and Great War, latterly as a Major, in the RAMC. At the date of the 1891 census, the household consisted of Edward Herbert Myddelton-Gavey, Frances, his wife, Francis Edward, their 3 year old son, Mary I., their 1 year old daughter, three visitors, a cook, a nurse, under-nurse, housemaid, under-housemaid, parlour maid and in the adjacent cottage, their coachman: 1891 UK Census, Ipswich, Suffolk

  31. ↑ Regular Army officer, who was commissioned in 1908 in the Worcestershire Regiment. He was seconded in 1912, when a Lieutenant, to the 10th Jats, Indian Army, arriving in Karachi in the same year. In the Great War, he was a Captain, 2nd Bn., Worcestershire Regiment. He had already served in two theatres of war, one in France, where he had been wounded, and the other in Gallipoli (Dardanelles), where he had been again wounded and then killed on the 26th September 1915. He was, at the time of his death, the fiancé of Miss Cynthia Evett of Balcony House, Bramley: Surrey Times and County Express, (9/10/1915), British and Indian Army Lists
  32. ↑ MC; Captain, South Staffordshire Regiment; joint executor in 1920 of his father-in-law`s Will. They lived afterwards in Tamworth, Staffordshire, and have descendants
  33. ↑ Of Middleton Hall, Warwickshire
  34. ↑ Civil Engineer, living in 1901 with his wife Maude, in Battersea. His 1901 census return states that he was aged 43, was born in Namur, Belgium and had become an American Citizen, which probably accounts for his absence from some earlier censuses. Despite being born in Belgium, he was baptised in the United Kingdom not long afterwards
  35. ↑ Merchant
  36. ↑ Gentleman
  37. ↑ Richard`s christening entry makes interesting reading (translated): "Son of Mons. Aaron Gavey and Dlle Anne Messervy, his wife, [godparents being] Charles Lempriere Esq., Seigneur of Dielament, etc., Lieutenant-Bailiff, representing the Honourable Richard Myddelton Esq., of Chirk Castle in Wales, Lord Lieutenant of the Co. of Denbigh, Colonel of that county`s Militia and Member of Parliament of the Town of Denbigh, and Dlle Sarah Lempriere, daughter of the said Charles Lempriere Esq." The rector or his clerk has subsequently written in the margin: "Whatever is not the [correct] rank, the result is not my fault"
  38. ↑ Silversmith; plaintiff in the above-mentioned lawsuit. Frederick Cohen and Nicholas du Quesne Bird, in Silver in the Channel Islands, (Jersey Museum Service, no date), 106, 140, write of Jean Gavey: "Established by 1715 and therefore perhaps born no later than c1694. The mark ascribed to him [JG] remained in use until c1775, which suggests that his son Edouard (q.v.) may have continued with it." In fact, his son Edouard was engaged in the allied trade of Watch Joint Finisher. It was the second son of Jean Gavey senior, his namesake Jean Gavey junior (1716-1779), a silversmith unknown to Cohen and Bird, who continued the use of the "JG" mark.
  39. ↑ "Scrivenor in Jersey," solicitor and Jersey`s first Notary Public
  40. ↑ Of Blackfriars, Ludgate and Clerkenwell, where he died aged 67, Watch Joint Finisher: Granville Hugh Baillie, Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World, (1951), 120. Edward Gavey, as he called himself in England, was often in debt, although there were periods of prosperity, such as in 1748, when he took his first apprentice, one Thomas Rogers, for seven years, at a charge of £15. 1737 had been a bad year, with Gavey being confined for debt in the Fleet prison, although he was soon discharged. In 1755, he was obliged to sell his stock. He was clearly not the silversmith whose mark ca. 1775 was "EG", identified by Cohen and Bird, op. cit. as Edward Gavey, son of the silversmith John Gavey
  41. ↑ Cohen and Bird, op. cit., 105. This marriage has not yet been verified
  42. ↑ Of White Cross Street, Watch Case Joint Finisher (1790)
  43. ↑ Watchmaker (1796); Watch Casemaker (1813), of White Cross Street, died aged 61
  44. ↑ Watchmaker/Watch Finisher; born in 1796 and baptised in 1799
  45. ↑ Watchmaker, born 24/5/1831 but baptised in 1837: Register of St Luke, Islington, the date of birth being confirmed by the Ontario, Canada census (1901). Bizarrely, he appears to have already been baptised in May 1831 at St Mary, Islington, with Edward as his second name. As he always used just his first given name, confusion was avoided. A Watchmaker, yet in the 1871 Census, when he was living near White Cross Street, he was, albeit briefly, a Stone Breaker. He, his wife Maria and family, emigrated to Canada later in 1871, where he resumed his watchmaking at Hamilton, Ontario. He died in Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, as "James Gavey", a widower, who had been born in London. The informant was a James Gavey, who was no doubt his son of this name
  46. ↑ Maria`s marriage was witnessed by Charles Gavey and Sarah Beck. Her death was confirmed, at Wentworth, Ontario, by William Gavey, her son
