Descendants of Peter Mesny


TreeIcon.png


This early ancestry of the Mesny family is based on handwritten Notes on Pedigree by John William Mesny (a nephew of William Mesny the famous adventurer, 1842-1919) in 1903

The Mesny family settled in Alderney around 400 years ago The first family member named in the notes was Peter Mesny (baptisd in 1700), a clergyman. His son Jacques was a Master in the Royal Navy. Guillaume Mesny (1787-1835) was an architect and builder - he was employed in building the great breakwater of Cherbourg, which is still standing today. William Mesny (1812-1885) served in the Royal Militia, and later became a Wesleyan preacher in England and France

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 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.
