Direct links to lists of baptisms, marriages and burials for the Hacquoil family can be found under Family Records opposite. If you want to search for records for a spelling variant of Hacquoil, 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
Hacquoil, which in 1331 was spelt Hascouf, and in Latin charters Hasculfus, is a corrupted form of the given name Aescwulf which, in common with other names ending with ouf, was of Norse origin, the ouf meaning wolf. In manuscript notes c1922, G F B de Gruchy wrote that the surname "is derived from the Old Norse proper name Hörskolfr, latinised into Harsculfus and Hasculfus, then turned into French as Hascoul, and corrupted into Hascouil and finally Hacquoil. It is still pronounced Hâcou". In Medieval Land Tenures in Jersey, after further study, he wrote of Hacquoil that it was: "Common in Norman charters as a personal name, Harscolfus and Hasculfus. I think the first syllable is Old Norse Hörskr, an adjective meaning of Hörda-land in Norway.... [see]-ouf..Ulf..would mean Ulf of the Hörd tribe."
It is found in early medieval documents in Jersey but is not, in this form, found in Normandy.
A less likely derivation for the surname is suggested by The Dictionnaire Etymologyique des noms de famille de France, which derives the name from the word hache meaning to cut or strike, to which in some cases has been added various diminutives. If so it appears to have been an occupational name for a forester or perhaps an agricultural contractor, one whose job it was to clear or harvest the land.
Early records
The earliest record of Hacquoil in Jersey is in a 1299 document.
G F B de Gruchy wrote: In 1331, Philippe Hasccoul held part of the divided Vinchelez fiefs, in St Ouen. Either the same man or a namesake was the Philippe Ascoul, serving as an archer at the Castle in 1337; Jean Ascul was a man at arms there in 1339. In 1363 Jacquet Hascoul, perhaps son of Philippe above, bought a large share of the Vinchelez fiefs; he was a Jurat, 1365-1379, and died before 1384, as in that year his widow was: "Rauline, daughter of Robert d`Anneville, Seigneur de Briel (France) and of Robine de Tot, his wife".
The first Hacquoil record in our database of Church baptism registers is that of Jean, the son of Helier, baptised in St Peter in 1628, not long after the start of that parish`s earliest surviving register. This predates the earliest register of St Ouen, the parish with which the Hacquoils were mostly associated. The following earlier Hacquoil births are known.
- Marie Hacquoil was born in St Ouen about 1502, married Helier Le Rossignol in 1528 and died three years later
- George Hacquoil was born in Jersey about 1515.
- Marie Hacquoil was born in St Ouen about 1530 and married Helier Le Rossignol in 1560. She was the daughter of George Hacquoil (1516- ) and Georgette
- Marguerite Hacquoil was born in Jersey about 1537 and married Michel d'Auvergne
- Marie Hacquoil was born in St Ouen about 1577 and married Richard Gasnier
- Marie Hacquoil was born in St Ouen about 1577 and married circa 1600 William Le Brocq. She was the daughter of Jean Hacquoil and Guillemine de Caen, daughter of Jean
- Thomas Hacquoil was born in St Ouen about 1600 and married Jeanne Le Cornu
- Jeanne Hacquoil was born in Jersey about 1605 and married Thomas Robert, of St John on 2 Oct 1653

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. 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
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
