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. ↑ Evidence points to his having been of St Ouen stock, although personally well-established in St Brelade, where he was described as having been the Judge-Delegate and Lieut-Bailiff of Jersey, living 1407. He sat as a Jurat, 1408-1413. His estate passed, through his daughter, to the family of Perrot Nicolas of Guernsey, whose heirs sold it. This tree, with estimated dates of birth, has been re-presented and extended by Guy Dixon, using different existing sources, to show the descent of the later Dumaresqs of La Haule, St Brelade, from their immediate stock in St Peter, giving their most likely degree of kinship to Guillaume, which would have been required in law, had they repurchased La Haule by retraite. It also includes a study derived from primary sources, of the senior remaining branch of Dumaresqs in St Peter. See also Descendants of Guille Dumaresq - 2, which takes this descendancy further, although perhaps inaccurately, with some variations at the top
  2. ↑ If the purchase of La Haule by his great-grandson, Thomas Dumaresq, in 1513 was, indeed, by way of retraite, this Nicolas Dumaresq was probably a nephew of the earlier owner, Guille (or Guillaume) Dumaresq, Lieut-Bailiff in 1407. He is also likely to have had a brother in Guille Dumaresq of St Peter, who owned some land in Trinity in 1402: L/C/66/C1/2 (1402), at Jersey Archive
  3. ↑ Bought in 1486, together with Jehanne, his wife, Le Fieu d`Aval or de Bas, north of Les Laveurs, St Ouen, being a part of the Fief of Vinchelez, from Guillaume de Beauvoir, who held it in right of his mother, Marguerite Le Feyvre, younger daughter and co-heiress of Michel Le Feyvre, Seigneur of Vinchelez. The purchase will have been an adjustment, by way of partage, of his claim to the third part of the Fief of Vinchelez, held in 1331 by Guillaume Dumaresq. He also received in 1484 from his paternal grandfather, Nicolas Dumaresq, Le Clos de Guillot Dumarest, in St Peter: Julia Marett, in ABSJ, XI, 344-345, and 346, respectively. He was described in 1486 as being of St Ouen
  4. ↑ Seigneur d`Aval. He bought La Haule, probably by retraite, in 1513. He served as Jurat, 1504-1516: Julia Marett, in ABSJ, XI, 349-350, inter alia
  5. ↑ Jurat, 1470-1505
  6. ↑ Of La Haule, Jurat, 1544-1566: Robert Marett, The Maretts of La Haule (1982) the source of the La Haule details below, unless stated otherwise, as well as of the marriage to Catherine Poingdestre
  7. ↑ The source for Sir Robert Marett`s statement in respect of Catherine Poingdestre and her parentage is not given. An unsubstantiated note by the current author suggests that Catherine was the daughter of Matthieu Poingdestre dit Billot
  8. ↑ Of La Haule, Jurat, 1570-1597. In 1587, Helier Dumaresq bought the Franc Fief, St Brelade, which had formerly been owned by the Gervaise family, and sold in 1596 the Fieu d`Aval: for the Fieu d`Aval, see ABSJ X1
  9. ↑ ABSJ, VIII
  10. ↑ Seigneur of Dielament, and not Helier Lempriere, as stated in An Armorial of Jersey (1858); see ABSJ, VIII
  11. ↑ Of La Haule, Seigneur of Franc Fief
  12. ↑ Received, by way of a sous-partage, or secondary division, of the family`s Vinchelez inheritance, in 1496, two quartiers of wheat rente. However, as he had not appeared at the original partage, he could not claim it: ABSJ XI. His daughter, Janette, widow of Allard Digman, attempted in 1512 to claim, with others of her family, their rightful inheritance from Richard de Carteret, godson and heir of Katherine de Vinchelez, claiming they were all "proche lignagers," being close lineal kindred, of Katherine de Vinchelez: ABSJ XI. Her father Guillot appears to have inherited from his father, Jean Dumaresq, Le Clos de Guillot Dumaresq, in St Peter, which features in family partages into the 19th century. See also Stevens, Arthur and Stevens, Jersey Pace Names, (1986). The property to which this land belonged was Pine Farm, which stood about 50 metres to the north of the original Jersey Aero Club building. The diminished remnant of Clos de Guillot, numbered P791 and until 1986 called Le Clos de Giot, is under the present Aero Club car park. A picture of the outbuildings of Pine Farm, shortly after the demolition in the 1950s of the main farmhouse, appeared in the Jersey Evening Post (20 March 2013). Guillot Dumaresq owed the Crown, on this land, in 1528, 6½ cabots of wheat: Extente (1528)
  13. ↑ His son, Jacques Dumaresq, is identified in CH 5/325
  14. ↑ Of Le Coin, St Ouen: CH 6/3 (1591)
  15. ↑ In 1607, for his land in St Peter, he owed the Crown 6½ cabots of wheat "for Guillaume Dumaresq": Extente (1607), 99, and a further 1 cabot (fo. 103) and 1 capon (fo. 104). In CH 5/325, he is listed as the eldest of Guillaume`s named issue, the others being Jean Dumaresq and Magdolaine Dumaresq
  16. ↑ Extente (1607), St Peter, 104: Collas Le Marquant owes the Crown 1 hen and 1 loaf per annum "for Thomassin, wife of Jacques Dumaresq, for Frivollet"
  17. ↑ Extente (1668): Jacques Dumaresq, son of Philippe, son of Jacques, owed the Crown 1 capon, and Jacques Dumaresq, son Philippe, son of Jacques, for Guillaume Dumaresq, owes the Crown 6½ cabots for his land in St Peter, and another cabot, as mentioned in that of 1607
  18. ↑ Transaction dated 27 April 1665, by way of partage, Alexandre family, Jacques Dumaresq featuring in right of his wife, daughter of Pierre Alexandre and...., as above: Martin de Gruchy manuscript notebook
  19. ↑ The grandson of this Thomas and Marie, who was also named Thomas Balleine, owed the Crown in the Extente (1749), as follows: "Mr Thomas Balleine, son of Thomas, heir of James [Jacques] Dumaresq, son of Philip, son of James [Jacques], for William Dumaresq, 6½ cabots of wheat, on his former Dumaresq land in St Peter
  20. ↑ Captif en Barbarie (1627), freed on payment of the ransom demanded; returned home: ABSJ, V. A sale, dated 6 January 1644 reads Richard Dumaresq, son of Jacques and Thomasse du Heaume, his wife, together with Jeanne Jean, wife of Richard, sell to Thomas Alexandre, land in St Brelade, Fief du Roi, for the price of 36½ crowns": L/C/51/A1/18, at Jersey Archive. The burial in St Peter of Richard Dumaresq, found dead, 1 August 1685, may refer to either this Richard or his son
  21. ↑ Richard may have married secondly Elizabeth Unnamed, buried in St Peter 14 March 1698, widow of Richard Dumaresq. One or other of Richard Dumaresq`s sons probably continued the affiliation in St Peter, his son Moyse had issue in St Brelade
  22. ↑ Either he or his father perished in a storm on 30 July 1685, being found and buried in St Brelade on 7 August. The other Moyse was buried there in 1691
  23. ↑ Richard Quesnel, godfather
  24. ↑ Her godparents were Jean Laffoley and Jeanne Dumaresq, his wife
  25. ↑ A transaction dated 30 May 1666 reads "Thomas Guillaume sells to Martin de Gruchy 2 cabots of annual wheat rente to be received from Jacques Le Maistre, son of Jean, the said Guillaume having right by assignation of Jean Dumaresq, son of Jacques, the said Jean Dumaresq having right by assignation of Philippe Dumaresq, for his part of the inheritance of Thomasse du Heaume, his mother": Martin de Gruchy manuscript notebook
  26. ↑ L/C/89/A/43 (1604): "Jacques Dumaresq, Jonachin du Val et Marie sa femme, fille de Guillaume Dumaresq," Marie authorised by her husband, sells to Jean Alexandre, son of Edouard, a field with costil...at Le Saut Falluet, on the Franc Fief, in St Peter, for the price of 2 cabots of annual wheat rente, 1 cabot to be paid to the said Jacques Dumaresq, and the other cabot to the said Marie, half by half"
