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
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
- ↑ The tree was created by Jean Arthur and published as a footnote in ABSJ (1994). Dates of birth before the 18th century are estimated. See also for Constables of St Mary, ABSJ VI, and ABSJ (1974). For further and more detailed reference to this branch of the Arthur family, see Descendants of Jean Arthur and Catherine du Bosquet and Descendants of Charles Arthur. Both of these trees, though, differ from the tree on this page, with regard to the marriages of Jean Arthur (generation 4) to Foy Renouf and Jean Arthur (generation 5) to Rachel Le Couteur. The first marriage, which does not show in parish registers, is given in the Rev J A Messervy's list of St Mary Constables, and the second is confirmed in the baptism record of their son Jean, and by the datestone the couple erected on La Pompe - JAT RLC 1720. La Pompe was acquired in 1719
