Channel Islands Lookup Requests / de Ste Croix/LeMercier/Le Geyt
« on: Friday 18 May 12 17:15 BST (UK) »
I am looking for more information on my ancestor, William/Guillaume de Ste Croix, who emigrated to Quebec. By 1802, he was settled in Quebec, married, and had children. I do not know the exact date or circumstance of his arrival in Canada. I know that he was Anglican, but converted to Catholicism after he married his wife in Quebec. On his marriage record, it states that he was a fisherman - it's possible he was employed by a Jersey fishing company and came to Quebec that way. I would like to know more about his Jersey roots.
According to Nos Origines (http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/GenealogieQuebec.aspx?pid=270631), he was baptised in 1772 in St Helier, Jersey. His father was Jean (John) de Ste Croix and his mother was Elisabeth LeMercier. His godparents were his paternal grandparents: Guillaume (William) de Ste Croix and Marie Le Geyt. I looked up the Le Geyt family, which appears to have quite a history on Jersey. However, I was unable to link Marie Le Geyt to any of the limited family trees I've seen online.
To summarize, I am looking for any information on the de Ste Croix, LeMercier, and Le Geyt families.
Thank you!
