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. Jehan`s father was Thomyn Alexandre (c1400- ): Thomas Le Maistre Manuscript Transcripts, Vol. 1, 408, at La Société Jersiaise Library
  2. Originally shown by Langton, who extracted this section of the genealogy, as Guillaume, his name was recently changed to Bastien Alexandre, following "reference to church registers". However, the proposed marriage date from the registers, 1598, was more than a generation too late to have been relevant. Furthermore, Collette Le Dain was not the name of any 1598 bride. Guillaume has been restored
  3. One researcher, no doubt working from indexes, had Pierre`s first wife Thomasse, nee Hamptonne, as being buried in 1641, thus enabling her to be the mother of his children as shown on this page. The 1641 entry, however, was not from this parish`s register. It was from St Brelade. In addition, the true reading of that parish`s 1641 burial entry is "Thomasse, daughter of Eleazer Alexandre." Jeanne Vallet has been restored
  4. Church records show an Amice baptised in St John in 1627 as the son of Jean and Marthe. There were evidently two different Amices born in different parishes in the early 17th century
  5. Edouard`s placement is based upon a marriage and two godparent links with St Peter. He settled in Mont à L`Abbé, St Helier, probably on Messervy land, as no purchase has been found for it in his name. The marriage record has not been found, but is confirmed by his children's baptisms
  6. Twin
  7. Twin, Buried in St Helier as "Elizabeth Alexandre, wife of Philippe de la Haye, aged 71 years 6 months"
  8. Buried in St Helier as "Susanne Alexandre, femme Josue de la Haye"
  9. Buried as "Jeanne Elizabeth Alexandre, daughter of Moyse Clement Alexandre and Elizabeth Hamon, his wife"
  10. 1790 and 1804 datestones at Chestnut Lea, St Helier. That of 1790 reads "MALX", that of 1804 "MALX . SGL"
  11. Captain, Militia
  12. Buried as the "Widow of Matthieu Alexandre Esq."
  13. Her husbands are named on Jane Mary`s memorial in Trinity churchyard
  14. Master mariner (1836-1848), part owner of the ship he commanded, Othello, in partnership with Neel, as "Neel and Alexandre"; then proprietor (1848-1866-)
  15. Master Mariner
  16. Master Mariner, died aged 28: M.I., Green Street Cemetery, Jersey; also see below
  17. Master Mariner and Proprietor. To USA, Canada and finally NZ, where he died
  18. Proprietor
  19. Marriage record not found. Probably not in Jersey. Died NZ
  20. To Canada
  21. Mariner, drowned on passage from Sunderland to Rio de Janeiro aboard the barque Revenue, (William Pellier), together with his brother, Captain Charles Alexandre: Chronique de Jersey, 22/4/1870
  22. Previously shown as Nancy's twin, but born two years later
  23. Her godmother was Elizabeth Le Vesconte of St Peter
