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. ↑ Of La Porte, Rue du Becquet ès Chats, Trinity. He was perhaps the Jean de Gruchy who was captain in 1760-1764 of Adventure and in 1782 of the privateer Lively, J Jean, Stories of Jersey`s Ships. Items of interest still retained by the family, which were previously at The Elms (La Mare), include telescopes, a sword and mid-18th century charts, one of which, by M Bellin, is dated 1757 and features Boston and the New England coastline
  2. ↑ Of Greenfield, Rue des Buttes, St John
  3. ↑ Jean sold La Porte in 1796 to his late father`s brother-in-law, Jean Blampied, having moved in 1789 to St Mary, no doubt to The Elms, St Mary where a 1796 datestone features his and his wife`s syllabic initials. The date may have commemorated improvements to the house, enabled by the sale of La Porte. The eminent Jersey historian, the late Miss Jean Arthur, believed that The Elms was one of two or three properties she had discovered as having possibly been missed by the surveyors working on the Richmond Map of Jersey (1795). Jean was Centenier of St Mary, 1808-1811, Lieut Militia 1810-11, the date of his death. There are several examples in Jersey of militia artillery commissions being acquired in middle-age by former privateer officers on settling ashore. This was probably the case in this instance. There is a tradition in the family that their early 19th century prosperity, indicated in their simultaneous ownership of two, if not three, properties, owed much to the sea
