Descendants of Thomas Bisson



The original stem of this tree was added to the site by Guy Dixon in April 2019. It has yet to be tested against the Land Registry, and is therefore to be regarded as provisional in the early generations. It has since been added to by Mike Bisson and Pam Hislop. It is thought likely that the tree will link to The Bissons of Trinity, but that has yet to be proved.

Further research in August 2020 identified a new descendant branch from Thomas at generation 3

A descent in New Zealand from Philippe at generation 7 was added by Mike Bisson in 2022


Rachel Bisson, nee de La Haye, wife of Josue (gen 7) on her 92nd birthday in 1937

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 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.
