A handwritten tree from Clement de Quetteville (gen 3) in the Société Jersiaise Library, with further research in church registers, first added to the site in 2013. It was checked, amplified, and updated in October 2018. The tree was further reviewed by Mike Bisson in 2025

The couple at generation 1 moved to St Helier where all subsequent members of the family were baptised

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. ↑ Settled in St Helier. His occupation is not known. His name has yet to be found in any 18th century shipping records or as a member of Jersey`s Chamber of Commerce. He was not the Peter de Quetteville, whose first name was allegedly a scribal error for Philippe, who was master of Daniel Pellier`s sloop Seven Sisters, 1728-1737, unless he was a master at the age of 11. However, he evidently prospered as he was by 1792 what was then called a Monsieur, denoting affluence
  2. ↑ Constable of St Lawrence, 1795-1798; Militia Captain
  3. ↑ Founder (c1785) of the merchant firm of this name, in the cod and wine trade between Jersey, Newfoundland and the Mediterranean
  4. ↑ Of Caen, in Normandy. Françoise Girard was the niece of Dr Chandespie, one of the French royalist refugees in Jersey, at that time
  5. ↑ Merchant and Colonel Militia. His godparents were his paternal grandparents, Philippe de Quetteville and Elizabeth Noel, his wife, acting with Jean Charles Chandpie [Chandespie], uncle and Jeanne de Quetteville, the infant`s paternal aunt. He was Treasurer of the Hospital, 1822; Centenier of St Helier, 1827 and Constable of St Helier, 1827-1830. He was also at one-time president of the Jersey Chamber of Commerce.
  6. ↑ Rector of Grouville
  7. ↑ His grandfather, David de Quetteville, was his godfather in 1820 and Esther de Quetteville, widow of Jean Luce, his godmother. The senior partner in his family`s merchant firm, he was also, from 1851, a Jurat of the Royal Court. On the death of Pierre Le Sueur, de Quetteville was a possible candidate for the leadership of the Island`s Rose Party, a party long associated with moderate reform. However, W L de Gruchy wrote, in Jersey, My Reminiscences, that "David de Quetteville, whose abilities would have fitted him to be the Rose leader, had the ambition of rallying both parties to support the Island cause against encroachments from Government House and Whitehall: which became, at last, more of a personal obsession than a possible basis of action". He furthermore excited public opinion in vehemently opposing the proposed St Helier to St Aubin railway line, letting nothing stand in his way. This involved resorting to the ancient legal procedure known as the Clameur de Haro. De Quetteville lost. He did not help himself greatly by then insisting on being on the first train, to see what it would be like. The nickname "Haro de Quetteville" followed. De Quetteville was also a militia captain. The Jersey bank crashes of 1873 ruined David de Quetteville and Company. For the remaining six years of his life he struggled to evade personal bankrupcy, living in rental accommodation
  8. ↑ The Chronique de Jersey, 24 March 1875, reported: "Philip David John de Quetteville, only son of Judge David de Quetteville, killed 5 January 1875 from a fall from the cross-trees of the mizzen mast of the vessel Loch Meree on its voyage from Melbourne"
  9. ↑ Master mariner; master of the de Quetteville schooner Belus, 88 tons (1840) and of their barque Echo, 422 tons (1842)
  10. ↑ The Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, Volume 12, lists graduations at Edinburgh in 1816, which include the younger "David de Quetteville from Jersey, who wrote De Asphyxiae Causis". Presumably following Dr Chandespie in his choice of career, David suffered the fate of many medical students and young doctors of that day who, frequently exposed to infectious ailments, died prematurely
  11. ↑ Esther Françoise de Quetteville, wife of F W Armstrong, was in 1848 part owner, with her nephew David and brother Jean, of the 148-ton brig Nameless. Women were frequently involved in their family businesses, would inherit shares in ships, receive their share of the vessel`s profits and often assist with the paperwork. Her portrait survives at St Ouen`s Manor, the present seigneur being a descendant of the Armstrongs, into which family she married
  12. ↑ Of St Peter`s House, Jersey, Army Captain
  13. ↑ Merchant: De Quetteville Frères, Captain Militia and purchaser, between 1824 and 1826 of land at Mont Millais, St Helier, for use as a quarry: Linda Romeril in Jersey Evening Post, 14 April 2017
  14. ↑ The Nicolles, formerly wool merchants in St John, moved into the cod trade in about 1792. They were, by 1816, in partnership with Philip Winter, Jersey`s leading shipowners, with seven vessels and a total tonnage of 1,483 tons: Jamieson also mentions that the wife of C J de Quetteville was a co-partner with Nicolle of Newfoundland and Jersey, giving her husband`s family, once again, a Newfoundland trade
  15. ↑ Jurat (1880), Lieut-Bailiff and Major, Militia. He was a merchant, with an interest in both David de Quetteville and Company and Nicolle, de Quetteville and Company, the latter run with his maternal relatives. He lived at 1 Clarence Terrace, St Helier, almost opposite the quarry opened in his father`s time, in which he retained an interest. This was fortunate, as both of the de Quetteville firms were driven into liquidation by the 1873 Jersey bank crashes. His younger brother, Girard, was after 1873, the only member of the immediate family in Jersey to enjoy prosperity. His choice of an heir in 1895 was therefore a source of some resentment to his elder brother. The latter and his family had moved by 1886 to 1 Don Terrace
  16. ↑ Settled in England, living at Rosemead, Acton, and commuting to the City of London; foreign banker
  17. ↑ Bank of England
  18. ↑ Lived with her sister Florence, at Holland House, Val Plaisant, St Helier
  19. ↑ Rector of Brinkworth, Wiltshire, and then heir of his brother Girard in 1895, as Seigneur of Noirmont
  20. ↑ Barrister-at-Law; Crown Court Recorder. He had sold the fief and manor of Noirmont on inheriting it from his father in 1909, remaining in England
  21. ↑ OBE, MC Served as an officer in The Green Howards and The Yorkshire Regiment in the Great War, attaining the rank of Captain. He was afterwards the director of an insurance brokerage and a Member of Lloyd`s of London
  22. ↑ Educated at Eton. Company director and charities administrator
  23. ↑ Curate of Stodmarsh, near Canterbury, 1859; then Curate of Littleworth, 1873; Chaplain in Rotterdam, 1874-1876. He was afterwards of La Tourelle, (which he had built), Route des Côtes du Nord, Trinity, where his arms, until some years ago, featured on the entrance arch. They are now relocated and are at Boulivot, Grouville
  24. ↑ Lived at 35 Holland Villas Road, Kensington with her brother Girard, and then at Holland House, Val Plaisant, St Helier
  25. ↑ East India broker, City of London, living with his sister, Esther Françoise. He returned to Jersey in 1881, having bought, the previous year, Noirmont Manor and the Seigneurie of Noirmont. W L de Gruchy wrote that he, Girard de Quetteville and Miss Le Couteur of Belle Vue had each paid one-third of the cost of the restoration of the Fishermen`s Chapel, in St Brelade. De Quetteville`s oil on canvas portrait, painted in about 1880, was given by his sister to Victoria College, with a bequest that enabled the creation there of a new library, that was to bear his name
  26. ↑ Merchant; a partner in De Quetteville Frères. He was a property owner in several parts of Jersey, including at Mont à L`Abbé and in the vicinity of St Andrew`s Park. He inherited land surrounding David Place, which he named after his father
