Direct links to lists of baptisms, marriages and burials for the Sauvage family can be found under Family Records opposite. If you want to search for records for a spelling variant of Sauvage, 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.

Origins of surname
Sauvage is French for 'savage', or 'wild', but in the context of the surname the meaning is probably somewhat less dramatic, and either means an unsociable person, or taking it back to its Latin root sylvestris, meant someone who wandered in the woods.
This is a fairly common name in Normandy.
Early records
The earliest record of Sauvage in Jersey is in a deed dated 1382, in which the Fieu (Fief) au Sauvage is mentioned, among other fiefs[1] In the Terriers des Dimes, St Mary, in 1602, Le Jardin de Jean Sauvage is mentioned. [2] The earliest surviving church registers of St Ouen, which adjoins St Mary, mention the surname in the first half of the 17th century, so the family was almost certainly living in these north-western parishes in the 16th century. The family name does not feature in early Extentes, but these deal with income relating to the Fiefs du Roi, on which the Sauvages, prior to the 19th century, never lived.
Salvage does appear as early as the 13th century. Although this family name, also found in England, has the same derivation, and is shown in Charles Stevens' Comprehensive list of Jersey surnames as a variant of Sauvage, we are not convinced that it represents earlier members of the same family in Jersey.
There are no baptisms listed under Le Sauvage, a Guernsey variant of the name, until the 19th century, but there is at least one family in which some children were shown as Sauvage and others as Le Sauvage in the baptism registers.

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
