Pigneaux branch of Le Geyt dit Le Maillier

We always had our suspicions about the accuracy of this tree in its original form, and they have been confirmed by a review in 2019 by Guy Dixon.

A section of the tree, which did not fit here, has been removed, and we are now fully confident in what remains.

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 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.

Notes and references

  1. ↑ Abraham Le Geyt, second son of Abraham Le Geyt and Rachel Benest, of La Guillaumerie in Maufant, settled at La Croix de Bois, later anglicised to Five Oaks, in the Vingtaine of Pigneaux, in about 1716, as there was engraved upon an outhouse on the property: "ALG.EAH 1716". Note: This stone was missed by Joan Stevens, in her list of dated and initialled stones, which included other stones from the site
  2. ↑ Of La Croix de Bois, (anglicised in the 19th century to Five Oaks), Pigneaux, St Saviour, Farmer of 38 vergées. There was engraved on the older of two farmhouse at La Croix de Bois: "ALG.AAL 1773". The two houses on the site comprised the older of the two farmhouses and the newer south-facing house that will have replaced the former as the main house in the late-18th century. A chimney and part of the tiled roof of this building can be seen to the left, behind the old farm, in both pictures. It was a fine example of a late 18th century house, with five bays on the first floor and four bays, two on each side of the front door, on the ground-floor. The house had a decorative ashlar frontage. Standing in the garden, facing the front of the house, one saw on the right, a conservatory forming the corner between the garden wall and the house. In front of this, against the same wall, which separated the garden from the main road, was a fig tree. Behind the two houses, was a cobbled yard consisting of sea-worn former beach cobbles. When standing with one`s back to the newer house, outside the back door, the left side of the yard was bordered by the outhouse used as a tackle/harness house. Located on this building, a little to the left of the man holding a hoe (see Le Geyt Farm picture), in the far background, was the 1716 engraved stone. Court Records, in the form of partages and 19th century censuses, show the farmland consisted of 38 vergées. The property was sold by the last of its Le Geyt owners in 1873. It was subsequently farmed by Mr Philippe Le Templier and then by an English family named Blake. After the Second World War, the farmland was sold away from the farm, to J.W. Huelin and Company, whose premises were increased to include part of this former Le Geyt land, which lay to the south of Le Geyt Farm, as it had by then come to be called. The house and farm buildings were sold to Jersey Dairies. When the author of these notes visited the property in 1970 the buildings stood empty but in good condition, only to be demolished by the purchasors, without any trace left of any of the buildings, not long afterwards. As Joan Stevens wrote: "It is a sad reflection on current [1977 and to this day] economic affairs that it paid better to demolish the whole structure rather than to make use of it": Old Jersey Houses, 11, 126. It should be mentioned that Stevens was mistaken as to which house had the 1773 datestone. It is noteworthy that just as Abraham Perrin had given to his nephew, Abraham Le Geyt, his name, likewise the latter`s great-grandson, this Abraham Le Geyt, gave the name to his grandson, Abraham de Gruchy

  13. ↑ Abraham Josué Le Geyt was, in 1871, the principal heir of his grandfather, his late father having predeceased the latter in 1852. Interestingly, after the sale by the heirs of Daniel Le Geyt, of Bon Air and most of its land, Abraham Josué was, despite owning merely 25 vergées instead of the former 38 vergées, in 1871 the Island`s principal Le Geyt landowner. He was also one of only two bearers of the surname to own more than 7 1/2 vergées!
  14. ↑ Brick and Lime Merchant at the Five Oaks, St Saviour, Brickworks
  15. ↑ The youngest Abraham Le Geyt and his parents lost their lives in tragic circumstances, on a voyage to New Zealand, where they intended to settle. The father, sold all he possessed or might inherit in Jersey to his mother in 1873. They sailed for Auckland aboard the ship Cospatrick, which caught fire and sank with the loss of 400 British emigrants and 41 crew members, including the Le Geyts, at latitude 30 15, longitude 12 25, about 100 miles off the west coast of South Africa, on the 17th November 1874. There were three survivors
