Descendants of Louis Voisin





Edward Voisin (1842-1920), Solicitor

This tree, first added to the site in 2013, was deposited with the Lord Coutanche Library of La Société Jersiaise. It refers to Jacob Philippe Voisin (generation 2) as moving to Jersey with three sons and suggests that he was married three times. However, it shows only one son, Jacob Philippe, born in France, and two wives, Marie Anne de Hauteville, whom he married first in France, and Marie Sevestre, whom he married in Jersey.

The family acquired Albany House, St Lawrence, where a 1745 datestone records Louis Voisin, Generation 5, and his wife Rachel de la Cour, and their son Jacob Philippe

The tree was subject to further review by Guy Dixon in 2020, and Mike Bisson in 2025, with more details added

Voisin 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.
