This tree features the remaining junior branches of the Le Geyt dit Rauvet family

Previous reservations about the accuracy of this tree were dispelled in 2019 by a review by Guy Dixon, who also researched generations 6 to 11 [1]

Many dates are approximate

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. ↑ The genealogy in the first four generations, and the previous two generations Descendants of Raulet Le Geyt - 2, is the published research of the Jersey genealogist, the Rev J A Messervy, who, in commom with most other early 20th century researchers, omitted his sources. At this date, prior to many of the earlier surviving church registers and to the start of the Land Registry (Registre Public) in 1602, researchers in Jersey, such as Messervy, used the records of the Cour d`Héritage, Cour de Câtel and the Cour du Samedi, among which were the sources relating to this and the above Le Geyt tree. A date of birth, without a church record, will have been derived from these court records or the Land Registry, which frequently mention a person having come of age, which in Jersey was at 20. An approximate date of death is derived from a division in court of a person`s real estate, which indicates their death

  3. ↑ Godel?
  4. ↑ Richard Le Geyt and his brother Pierre, son of Jean, son of Jean had as godparents Noé Godel and Richard Godley (Godel?)
  5. ↑ Settled in Trinity. The Land Registry has the following: RP 12/198 (1642) François Le Sueur sold to Philippe Le Geyt, son of Jean, Le Clos du Brun in the parish of Trinity and partly in St Helier, on the Fiefs of Mélèches and Dièlament. Also RP 13/74 (1646) Philippe Bisson, son of Michel, sold to Philippe Le Geyt, son of Jean and of Elizabeth Sarre, his wife, Le Clos de La Messe, indicating foundations of a previous structure, such as a mill, in Trinity, on the Fief des Augrès, for the price of 3 Quartiers, annual wheat rente
  6. ↑ Described usually, in records, as Philippe Rauvet junior, from the surname of this Le Geyt family, used intermittently, Le Geyt dit Rauvet and Rauvet dit Le Geyt
  7. ↑ Josué's baptism record, in 1664, reads Josué son of Philippe Rauvet
  8. ↑ Resettled in St Helier
  9. ↑ Jeanne Le Geyt dit Rauvet buried at St Helier, 6 August 1753, was the last mention in official records of this surname linked to Le Geyt
  10. ↑ Died without issue: RP 27/67 (1700) Philippe Le Geyt, Jeanne Le Geyt and Elizabeth Le Geyt, authorised by her husband, Jean Le Breton, Jeanne and Elizabeth being daughters of the late Nicolas Le Geyt and Philippe and Nicolas Le Geyt, sons of the late Philippe Le Geyt and the deceased Elizabeth de la Haye, his wife; Philippe junior and Jeanne and Elizabeth, all three tenants of the inheritance of Jean Buesnel, son of Clement, sold to Jean Alexandre, son of Jean, the house that belonged to Elizabeth de la Haye, in Croiserie, Trinity. A family sale of inherited real estate, such as this, could not exclude Jeanne and Elizabeth`s elder brother, Jean (generation 6), without mentioning the reason, unless he had died by then without issue. Jeanne married a year afterwards, Hugh Richardson; Elizabeth`s husband, Jean Le Breton, was again mentioned in RP 27/68, yet erroneously as Philippe Le Breton in RP 27/76

  18. ↑ Elie Le Geyt, who was described in 1750, in Volume 36 of the Cour du Câtel as Elie Le Geyt dit Rauvet, son of François, was a mariner. His death was described in the Trinity Register (March 1759): Elie Le Geyt, Jean du Feu son of Benjamin, Clement Jeune, Charles Nicolle son of Jean and Thomas Godfray son of Philippe. These five burials came about as a result of deaths aboard two privateers which were engulfed by the sea in St Aubin`s Bay by a great storm which struck during the night of the 9th to the 10th of the month. They perished on the rocks at Elizabeth Castle, where several others perished with them": Trinity Register, 11 March 1759. The St Brelade burials` register adds further detail, namely that nearly 60 men perished and that the two vessels were in St Aubin`s Roads ready to sail when the storm struck. They dragged their anchors and were wrecked on the rocks at Elizabeth Castle.
  19. ↑ Le Riolet dit L`Hermitte: an old surname, found in St Saviour in the late 16th century; it has long been extinct in the Island but survives in England, among the descendants of an 18th century Jerseyman, who settled in Middlesex [Burke`s Landed Gentry,and Walford`s County Families of the United Kingdom, (1897). Elizabeth was one of the last of her surname in Jersey. It survived, however, as a forename. Elizabeth`s grand-daughter, Jeanne Le Geyt, wife of Captain Elias de Gruchy, must have encouraged her own daughter, Lydia Jane de Gruchy, wife of W J Ogier, Ecrivain, to pass the name to a son of hers, hence the middle name of the future advocate and German internee, Léonce L`Hermitte Ogier,

  37. ↑ George Le Geyt took his second wife to sea with him; two of their children were born in the Bay of Honduras. He may also have taken to sea his first wife. This could account for the absence of any Jersey burial entry for to her
  38. ↑ RP 285/252
  39. ↑ Census entries from St Helier record that George Henry and his sister, Anne, were born in the Bay of Honduras. He inherited Belize House, 13 Great Union Road, St Helier: RP 224/91 (1861), which gives an approximate date of death for his father. On the marriage certificate of George Henry`s son Samuel (1888), the father is described as independent, deceased. Absent from most censuses and not featuring in local lists of master mariners, George Henry was probably employed either ashore, in the Canadian fisheries, or as a mariner. His property was divided between his two sons in 1884, indicating his approximate date of death. His wife, Bertha, was described in the partage as a widow. She was letting furnished apartments in most censuses.

She might have been the daughter, not of George Henry, but of his brother Samuel; the register did not name the parents. However, Samuel`s wife, in the 1911 Census of Crosby, near Scunthorpe, stated that they had had four children, three were living and one dead. These are all accounted for. Bertha Emma died of consumption, aged 1 year 4½ months

His business was continued for a short time by his son-in-law, John Fouracre Cutler. By 1925 the Goldsmith`s Alliance was in business at 2 Queen Street, which later became Assinder`s. Philippe Le Geyt also bred poultry. His grandson in Australia, Herbert Le Geyt, had a medal won by P Le Geyt, presented by the Aylesbury Food Company and a large silver pitcher presented in 1895 by John Le B Chevalier, President of the Jersey Poultry and Ornithological Society, presumably to the same P Le Geyt.

Jeanne, who married Philippe Le Cronier had eleven children, the last baptised in 1772, so could not have been baptised in 1715. She therefore married William Bradshaw

  65. ↑ These twins died prematurely
  66. ↑ Settled in St Helier
  67. ↑ Godfather: Abraham Hérault, a Jurat and former Greffier, after whom this Abraham was evidently named. Hérault was probably a friend of the well-connected Sarre family. The use for three generations in this branch of the Le Geyts dit Rauvet, of the forename Abraham, must not lead to their being confused with the bearers of the name Abraham in the Le Geyt dit Le Maillier family. The latter received the fprename, quite separately, from an early 17th century uncle, Abraham Perrin
