de Gruchy family page and links to other trees

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.

Notes and references

  1. Messervy, in his Généalogie de la Famille de Gruchy, (1920), thought Robin was born about 1547. He may, in fact, have been born in 1546. Trinity registers do not survive for this date, so the date is speculative
  2. Of La Chasse, Vingtaine de Rozel, Trinity. The partage [RP 5/231] of the inheritance of Robin de Gruchy, father of Matthieu, dated 27 April 1619, saw attributed to Matthieu, prior to division, four and a half vergees of land that had to remain, according to an earlier contract, undivided in favour of the eldest son. This was one tenth of the inheritance so, despite sales to settle, prior to 1616, Bernabey de Gruchy`s debts, there still remained at La Chasse, 45 vergees of land
  3. Françoise was tutrice of their children in 1659
  4. Matthieu will have died prematurely, without issue, as legal documents show that his elder brother inherited from their father
  5. Privateer Captain, James Galley, -1708, (TNA: HCA 1970). In July 1708 he was doubtless the Captain de Gruchy commanding one of two privateers used in the defence of the Island (Actes des Etats 1, 34)
  6. Of La Mare d'Angot, Trinity
  7. Sold La Chasse, Rozel, Trinity in 1847, to Jean de Gruchy of La Pièce Mauger
  8. Merchant. This family, once residing in Alberta, Canada, was formerly of Beau Désert, St Saviour. It represents the extinct senior line of de Gruchys
  9. Molley (Marie) de Gruchy was stated to be aged 54 on death, on 17 June 1874, in the Chronique de Jersey (20 June 1874). However, the description of her husband as Captain John George removes ambiguity, even if the newspaper did assume that he was also a de Gruchy.
  10. Master mariner
  11. Sailor who, after many years out of the Island, reappeared in the 1891 census. Pallot papers show that he died childless
  12. Died without issue. A partage dated 13 June 1840, names his brother Philippe as his principal heir
  13. Pierre seems to have lived or worked out of the Island for part of each year, perhaps in Newfoundland. His marital home was in St John
  14. Their son and heir, also heir of Pierre, was Jean Elie Norman, mentioned in bankruptcy proceedings, 17 November 1855 [L/C/49/A/13: at Jersey Archive]
  15. No issue: RP 96/219 (1803)
  16. Of Les Fontaines, Rondin, Trinity
  17. Of Les Fontaines, Rondin, Trinity
  18. Philippe sold Les Fontaines (1803) to his uncle, Elie de Gruchy, and moved to First Tower, St Lawrence
  19. Carpenter, of 25, Chevalier Road, St Helier
  20. Master Mariner. He went to sea in August 1859, serving on the Robin and Company vessel C Columbus until March 1861, when he transferred, as an Ordinary Seaman, to serve aboard Amicus, owned by Orange and Briard. On the latter vessel, which traded in the Far East, he was both Able Seaman and Bosun. He gained his Second Mate`s certificate at London on 18 August 1864 and served in this capacity aboard another of his employers` ships, Fort Regent, which was credited, at the time, with being Jersey`s largest sailing ship. His First Mate`s certificate was dated 16 August 1866. He served as First Mate on Western Chief, registered in Plymouth, from 1866 until 1870, when he gained his Master`s Certificate (No 31.868), dated 16 July that year. He died at sea of a fever in 1872
  21. Married her late sister's widower
  22. Drowned in Biscay: CIFHS Journal 136: Jean de Gruchy, of St Laurence, Mate on the vessel Choice, drowned in heavy weather in Biscay
  23. Carpenter
  24. Of Les Fontaines, Rondin, Trinity, (purchased from his nephew, 1803)
  25. Le Puits is at the edge of Jardin d`Olivet, which, in turn, is the common of the Fief de la Gruchetterie. Over the door are engraved Michel`s initials: MDG
  26. Purchased a house and land, on the Fief of Petit Rozel, at Les Bouillons, Trinity, 1679
  27. Date supplied by the Rev J A Messervy in Genealogie de la Famille de Gruchy, (1920)
  28. Of Les Bouillons
  29. Of Le Câtel, Rue de la Falaise, Trinity
  30. Of La Porte
