Le Geyt 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.

  19. ↑ Light is cast on relationships within this part of the family by: RP 9/242 (1632): "Jean Le Geyt, elder son of the late Jean Le Geyt, son of Jean, and of Jeanne, nee Le Gallais together with Thomas Le Geyt, second-born son and Pierre Le Geyt in right of his wife Thomasse, daughter of the late Jean Le Geyt and his wife. Messervy shows, in ABSJ V that these Le Geyts, Thomasse`s family, were Le Geyts dit Le Maillier, whereas only Pierre Le Geyt, her husband, was a Le Geyt dit Rauvet
  20. ↑ RP 12/231 (1642): Elizabeth Baudains, widow of Thomas Le Geyt, son of Jean, was established tutrice of her children by various persons, including Pierre Le Geyt [see above] and Jean Le Geyt
  21. ↑ A deed dated 16 March 1723 [RP 32/192] shows this Philippe Le Geyt as being son of Philippe: Susanne Le Geyt,probably baptised in 1693, resigned to Jean Le Geyt, son of Jean, all rights she had acquired from Philippe Le Geyt, son of Philippe. There is nothing to suggest the purchaser was a close relative. Philippe then bought from Jean Mauger, in right of his wife, on 20 October 1724 [RP 33/194] land on the Fief de Noirmont. He was described again as Philippe Le Geyt, son of Philippe. Mauger then sold Philippe a slither of land on the same fief on 18 January 1734 [RP 38/65], this time describing Philippe as son of Philippe, son of Philippe, son of Thomas.
    This establishes Philippe`s identity on arrival in a new parish, but distinguishes him from the Philippe Le Geyt dit Reide, son of Benjamin, who was indigenous to the parish. Two years previously, RP 37/200 (27 January 1732)] Philippe and his wife, Sara Le Breton, bought a house and further land on the Fief de Noirmont, in St Brelade, from Elizabeth Anley. Jean Le Geyt and Marthe, nee Le Moigne, his wife, were Le Geyts dit Rauvet
  22. ↑ RP 46/93 (1758): Elizabeth Fondan, wife of Josué Le Geyt and Marie Fondan, wife of Helier Martel, daughters of the late Philippe Fondan
  23. ↑ RP 92/210 (1801): Elizabeth Le Geyt, daughter of Josué and Elizabeth, nee Fondan, principal heiress of her late mother and the co-heiresses, Susanne Le Geyt and Sara Le Geyt, wife of Patrick Neel. This establishes that Elizabeth`s elder siblings had died by 1801, without issue
  24. ↑ Godparents: Philippe Le Geyt, uncle, and Marie Le Geyt, wife of William Fruing
  25. ↑ Godparents: Philippe Coutanche and Sara Le Geyt, his wife, aunt of the child
  26. ↑ Soldier in the company of Major Vavasor
  27. ↑ Philippe Le Geyt junior in 1741, and senior in 1798
  28. ↑ Philippe left a signed Jersey and Prerogative Court of Canterbury will, dated 10 March 1785, of which his wife Susanne Carrel was to be the executor. His brothers Pierre and Jean and sister Anne received a shilling. The poor of St Brelade were also left a legacy. Philippe having left a PCC will, suggests he may have been a mariner
  29. ↑ Godparents: Pierre Cabot, grandfather and Catherine Romeril, his wife. Pierre Le Geyt and his father, Philippe, moved to St Aubin on the latter`s marriage with Marie Cabot; RP 67/218 (1785): Pierre Le Geyt, son of Philippe Le Geyt senior and of the defunct Marie Cabot, his wife in 2nd marriage, and principal heir of his mother, having right of Pierre Cabot senior, her father, to a house and land, the house called La Maison du Porcq, in St Aubin, Fief de Noirmont
