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.

  10. ↑ Lost at sea. Walter Le Quesne and Guy Dixon, in The de Gruchys of Jersey, Second Edition (2000), record that 'John was apprentice aboard a ship which did not reach its destination, reported in the Chroniques de Jersey in May 1870. His departure to sea had followed a family quarrel. The lad walked to Rozel Harbour, boarded a Collier brig [that belonged to Clement Richardson] awaiting the tide, transferring later as an apprentice to a deep-sea vessel, never to be seen again by his family.' Captain Philippe George de Gruchy passed this information to Guy Dixon in 1968. John was the captain`s uncle, although he had never met him
  11. ↑ Of Le Catel

  13. ↑ Of Le Catel, Master mariner; Commodore, Clan Line. Philippe George went to sea at an early age as an apprentice under sail, having been brought up living just above a cove and in sight of the sea. In due course he transferred to steam. When he was still a junior mate, his ship put in to a Brazilian port. Strolling around the harbour when off-duty, he came across a Jersey vessel, stranded by the death of the master and mates as a result of tropical fever. His years under sail were put to good account, when he offered to sail the vessel back to Jersey. The owners` agent accepted and the vessel finally returned to St Helier, to the relief of the owners, crew members and of the families of all concerned. For de Gruchy, it offered the opportunity of a surprise visit to family and friends. He soon became a master and, after some years, became Commodore of the Clan Line. He was in Jersey shortly before the start of the German Occupation, but left the Island on 1 April 1940. He was living in Liverpool in September 1944 when he applied for permission to return to Jersey 'at some later date'. His home address was given then as Cintra, Rozel Valley. His wife, Muriel, remained in Jersey throughout the Occupation and after Philippe's return, the couple moved to Roslyn, Old Fort Road, Rozel
