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.

Regrettably, he had to sell the property in 1849 and was subsequently tenant of Le Ménage, Rozel, which he nicknamed Ménage du Tâcher, meaning the household of many tasks and endeavours. Thomas lost the tenancy and finally lived near St Martin`s Church, farming two small fields and working part-time as a carpenter. All of his sons sought a career away from the land, mostly at sea.

Philippe went to sea as a 'boy' in 1852, aboard Royal George, owned and captained by the family`s close neighbour, Jean de Gruchy of Ville Machon, Trinity. He then served aboard Arcana and Sophia, both Jersey vessels, becoming by 1854 an ordinary seaman. He was then a member of the crew of foreign-going United Kingdom-owned ships, until 1861. He gained his only mate`s certificate on 21 February 1865, becoming mate aboard two Jersey ships, Whydah and the de Gruchy, Renouf and Clement-owned Circassian.

He was from 1865-1866 ship`s carpenter aboard the Jersey-owned Ocean Queen. From 1866 to 1870 he served aboard the London vessel Ernestine, first as an able seaman and then as third mate. He gained his second mate`s certificate on 26 May 1870, his first mate`s certificate on 8 December 1871 and his master`s certificate (92715) on 16 April 1874.

  52. ↑ Minister and Farmer. Minister for several years of a French Independent Congregation, before being ordained, on 30th August 1819, in the Baptist faith: The Baptist Magazine, Vol. 11 (1819), 439, 440. At the time of his Baptist ordination, he was both living and farming in St John, to which he must have moved in the years immediately following the christening in Trinity of his last child, in 1815. The Independent Congregation was therefore likely to have been in that parish. In 1829, he was accused by the Pastor of St Helier`s Salem Chapel, which catered to the "Calvinistic Baptists," of interfering with the affairs of the Chapel and having disturbed the peace of the church, in writing, presumably in a critical vein, regarding their administration of baptism. It should be noted that Baptist churches were then regarded as semi-autonomous. De Gruchy replied with commendable moderation, in asking forgiveness for "all that is harsh" in his letters: Harry Le Feuvre, What`s Your Town`s Story, in the Jersey Evening Post, (16 August 2022), 16. "About twenty years" after his Baptist ordination, namely in about 1839 or 1840, he lost confidence in the Baptists and became instead a Swedenborgian minister: The Morning Observer and New Church Record (1863), 351, 352. His death was also so announced in that publication: "On Monday, Sep. 7, 1863, at his residence, Houguillon, in the parish of Trinity, after six days illness, Mr John de Gruchy, aged 80 years. He was educated for, and was ordained a minister of the Baptists. About twenty years since, he remarked, (to use his own expression), he felt "like a ship in distress having no safe anchor", until he became acquainted with Swedenborg`s writing; from that [time] he never failed to preach of the New Church...firm in the faith of the New Jerusalem and trusting in the One Jehovah-Jesus"
