This tree was added in 2010 and has been comprehensively reviewed on a number of occasions since by Guy Dixon, who provided the footnotes

de Gruchy 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.

He sold these in 1659 jointly to his nephews Elie and Martin de Gruchy, sons of his brother Gilles, formerly a merchant in St Aubin.

Which Mr Philippe de Gruchy had right of Elie Dumaresq, gent? - RP22/107 (1679): "Elie Dumaresq gent sold to Philippe de Gruchy, son of Thomas, a house [in St Brelade]" and (same reference): "Elie Dumaresq, gent. sold to Philippe de Gruchy son of Thomas land at La Moye, Fief du Roy, St Brelade". Philippe`s daughter, Mse Jeanne de Gruchy, wife of Me Jean Le Maistre, finally sold this St Brelade land in 1722 to Nicolas Hamon: RP30/201
  6. ↑ Judy Rouget was previously thought to have been the wife of this Philippe de Gruchy`s first cousin-once-removed and namesake, Philippe son of Philippe. However, the latter is not known to have married but is known to have died childless. Philippe, son of Thomas, in contrast, is known to have married and been survived by a daughter named Jeanne, who was married to Jean Le Maistre junr.
  7. ↑ Godmother: Mse Jeanne Dumaresq, wife of Me Jean Le Cras, who would purchase the St Aubin house and quay in 1683 from the de Gruchys
  8. ↑ CH (26/09/1667): "Me Philippe de Gruchy, eldest son and principal heir of the late Me Thomas de Gruchy released in court a share of the said Thomas de Gruchy`s inheritance to Jeanne de Gruchy and to Jean Cabot, in right of his wife, both being daughters of the said deceased"
  9. ↑ Merchant and shipowner (1644); settled in St Lawrence (1614), Deacon (1619), Procureur (1626), Centenier (1634) and Constable of St Lawrence 1637-1643
  10. ↑ Constable of Trinity
  11. ↑ C. J. Robinson (ed.), A Register of Scholars admitted to Merchant Taylors` School, (London, 1883), 123, provides the exact date of birth of Philip de Gruchy as being the 8th March 1612. He probably followed in the footsteps of his father, as a merchant
  12. ↑ The Will of Constance Pignée, Widow of Philippe de Gruchy, dated 1734 and proved in 1735, includes only legacies to her daughter Elizabeth, who had cared for her in her illness: D/Y/A/3/74, at the Jersey Archive
  13. ↑ Probably a Merchant. Philippe junior was a minor in 1667, but of age by 1672. He had died by 1690, without issue. His sister, Elizabeth, wife of Jean Vic, was then mentioned in a deed as his heiress
  14. ↑ Of London, Merchant. Died without issue
  15. ↑ Of Southampton; Ancien (Elder) of the French Church; Member of the Paper-Makers` Guild and wool merchant; Sheriff (1677), then Mayor (1682 and 1697), of Southampton. Elie de Gruchy, his brother Martin having died in 1668, sold the above mentioned St Aubin house and quay in 1683 to Jean Le Cras, although his nephew, Martin de Gruchy, reclaimed it, selling it himself in 1689, to Le Cras. De Gruchy`s PCC Will names the husbands of his four daughters
  16. ↑ Mayor of Southampton (1651)
  17. ↑ Merchant, of Southampton, from whom were descended the family de Gruchy Fasset
  18. ↑ De Gruchy spelt by the minister as Degres[h]ue
  19. ↑ Brewer? Probably the Southampton brewer of this name whose nephew and namesake was granted in 1743 administration of his effects: Hampshire, England, Wills and Probates, 1398-1858
  20. ↑ De Gruchy spelt by the minister as de Greschye. This and variants of the above are frequent 17th and 18th century spellings of the name in coastal areas of southern England
  21. ↑ A man of property in many locations, including Eling, Hampshire. His PCC Will, PROB 11/652, fo. 108 (dated 1729 and proved in 1732), mentions his beloved mother, Mrs Mary Bernard, his beloved wife Elizabeth Bernard, his "brother and sister Jolliffe", his daughters Elizabeth, wife of John Burbank, Mary, wife of Richard Atherly, Jane and Judith, and sons Thomas, William and John. A well-documented online tree shows him to have been the son of Eling-born and buried Thomas Bernard, an evidently successful Southampton grocer, the son of John Bernard M.A., Vicar of Eling
  22. ↑ Wool merchant, jointly purchasing with his brother Elie in 1659, from their uncle Thomas de Gruchy, his house, quay and dependencies in St Aubin. Centenier of St Lawrence, 1664-1668, the date of his death

Settled in London in 1708, following his feud with the Bailiff, Sir Charles de Carteret: G. R. Balleine, A Biographical Dictionary of Jersey (Staples Press (1948)
  27. ↑ Silversmith, of Jersey. Cohen and Bird, Silver in the Channel Islands, (Jersey Museum Service, no date), 106, 140, unwittingly treat the two Jean Gaveys, father and son, as one individual. The issue of Jean Gavey senior and Rachel de Gruchy, his wife, mostly born in St Helier, included sons Edouard (1707?), Jean (1716-1779) see above, Philippe (1725-1734) and Martin (1731-1733)
  28. ↑ Citizen and Dyer of London
  29. ↑ BA (Oxon.) Ordained 1716; Perpetual Curate of Elstead and Seale, Surrey and schoolmaster
  30. ↑ Possibly Jean de Gruchy senior...Goldsmith, as Cohen and Bird, Silver in the Channel Islands, (Jersey Museum Service, no date), 108, cite the Parliamentary Return of 1773, referring to Jean`s nephew and namesake, who was formerly living in Oxford, as "Jean de Gruchy junior at Oxford". The latter worked principally in London, following his marriage in Christ Church, Spitalfields
  31. ↑ Attended Merchant Taylors` School and Pembroke College, Oxford; Rector of St Lawrence, 1730-1747

  36. ↑ Of Jersey, and later of Aldgate, London, Silversmith: PCC Will, dated 11/3/1768, and proved 15/9/1779, in which he is described as "John Gavey of London, formerly of Jersey, Silversmith". See also Frederick Cohen and Nicholas du Quesne Bird, Silver in the Channel Islands, (Jersey Museum Service, no date), 106, 140, in which the authors unwittingly treat Jean Gavey, senior and junior, as the same individual. John Gavey junior and Anne de Gruchy, his wife, had issue Philip William (1764-1846) and Ann. Philip William, who used only the name "Philip Gavey," was a merchant and partner in Fiott, de Gruchy and Company of London, Shipowners and brokers. Bankrupt, 1797-1804--, together with his first cousin, John Philip de Gruchy, by 1841 he was once again of "Independent" means: B3/1851 (11 February 1797), at The National Archives; UK Census, St Gregory by St Paul, London (1841)
  37. ↑ Merchant, senior partner in de Gruchy, Le Breton and Company, of College Hill, London. His brief obituary read "Philip de Gruchy esq, merchant, of College Hill, after a long and severe illness, universally beloved, respected and esteemed": The Gentleman`s Magazine, Vol. 55, 317, "Obituary of Considerable Persons"
  38. ↑ Goldsmith in Oxford (1763) and London. Le Quesne and Dixon, in The de Gruchys of Jersey, Second Edition, (2000), question the identity of 'Jean de Gruchy junior, of Oxford, Goldsmith' who was listed in the Parliamentary Return of 1773. Further research has shown this Jean as having been both of Oxford and a goldsmith. He was, though, after his marriage to a London Huguenot, working primarily in London but seems to have retained the Oxford connection for some years. Jean de Gruchy senior, probably his uncle Jean (1696- ), will have been, by implication, also a goldsmith and may have taught his nephew the trade
  39. ↑ Cousin of James Maze ( -1795) of St Mary, Stratford Bow, Middlesex, of a Huguenot family of Weavers from Hauteville in Normandy
  40. ↑ Of Fenchurch Street, London, merchant, (Fiott, de Gruchy and Company). In debt, he fled in 1796 from his creditors to the USA. His Oath of Allegiance as a citizen of that country is dated 15 December 1798. He is described as a merchant, aged 34 [Pennsylvania State Archives, USA]. He is probably the English-born de Gruchy whom the Comte de Grouchy met in 1817 in Philadelphia: see "Medieval English de Grouchys". He was buried in February 1830 at Riverview Cemetery, Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania. The record provides his year of birth
  41. ↑ Officer of the East India Company Maritime Service, 1780-1786
  42. ↑ Weaver
  43. ↑ Factor and merchant in London, buried in the north-west vault of St Swithin`s Church, on 16 April 1735
  44. ↑ Merchant, of London. His PCC Will, dated 7/1741, appointed as executor and executrix, the Revd. Martin [de] Gruchy and Elizabeth Gourdon, the testator`s sister-in-law, who were appointed guardians of his son, Martin Montesquint
  45. ↑ Dénonciateur, RC
  46. ↑ Of Augres, Constable of Trinity 1653-1660, a zealous royalist. Their son, Josué Le Boutillier was Constable 1688-1690, the year of his death
