Direct links to lists of baptisms, marriages and burials for the Esnouf family can be found under Family Records opposite. If you want to search for records for a spelling variant of Esnouf, 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 yellow 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.
New records
From August 2020 we have started adding records from non-Anglican churches, and this process will continue as more records, held by Jersey Archive, are digitised and indexed. Our database now includes buttons enabling a search within registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These records will automatically appear within the results of any search made from this page.

Origin of Surname
The name is derived either from the Frankish name 'Eanwulf' or 'Aginwulf', a combination of agin, blade of a sword, and wulf, wolf, or from the Norse personal name Sniolfr, the latter being a contraction of wolf. It is very much a name of Normandy and particularly Manche.
Early records
The name is found in the Extente of 1528.
Simon Esnouf was born in Jersey in about 1544 and had a son Simon (1570- ) who married Sara Lesbirel in 1606.
Although the trees below start in the 1540s and extend into the 20th century, they cover only a fraction of the Esnoufs in Jersey over the past 500 years. There are 817 baptism records in our database.
Public offices held
Two branches of this family were very prominent in St John during the 16th and 17th centuries. Four members of the family, at this epoch, held the office of Constable of St John. They were Jean Esnouf, son of Raulin and Jeanne Grossier, his wife, who held office from 1586-1587, [1] Jean Esnouf ( -1669), probably his son, a Royalist, 1631-1651 and 1660-1666, Simeon Esnouf ( -1655), 1626-1632 [2] and his son, Thomas Esnouf, 1655-1660, who, in his father`s footsteps, was a Parliamentarian [3]
Cecil Ernest Esnouf (1898-1982) was a Jurat ( -1960- ).

Tips
The church record links above will open in a new tab in your browser and generate the most up-to-date list of each set of records from our database. These lists replace earlier Family page baptism lists, which were not regularly updated. They have the added advantage that they produce a chronological listing for the family name in all parishes, so you do not have to search through A-Z indexes, parish by parish.
We have included some important spelling variants on some family pages, but it may be worth searching for records for a different spelling variant. Think of searching for variants with or without a prefix, such as Le or De. To search for further variants, or for any other family name, just click on the appropriate link below for the first letter of the family name, and a new tab will open, giving you the option to choose baptism, marriage or burial records. You will then see a list of available names for that type of record and you can select any name from that list. That will display all records of the chosen type for that family name, and you can narrow the search by adding a given name, selecting a parish or setting start and end dates in the form you will see above. You can also change the family name, or search for a partial name if you are not certain of the spelling
The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list.

New records
Since August 2020 we have added several thousand new records from the registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These will appear in date order within a general search of the records and are also individually searchable within the database search form
