Hi Sal,
Thanks for that.  I was born in London and sent to the Chann Isls to be safe from the war! and then evacuated back to London to suffer the blitz.  I was born 1938 so just a little one.  My mother's parents (Philip Charles Mourant and Mathilda Louisa Cassin) were from Grouville and shifted to England early on.  When I was taken to Jersey at start of war, we stayed with cousins living there.   Now I am trying to locate who they were and where they are now.  I have discovered that great grandaunts married into Touzel, Bertram , Weaver and OBrien families, but thats as far as I can get.
cheers,   Mike

Hi Sal
Interestingly enough, I was an infant during the occupation and told by my Aunt that we were evacuated and on the last boat to leave as well. I was told that it was a "chocolate boat" and that is all we had to eat! and that the boat took a long time to get back to England because of the mines laid in the channel.   I guess there are many similar stories and they become embelished like 'chinese whispers' over the years.    I would love to know of any info on that evacuation if you have any.
thanks,  Mike

Hello all

My g.grandfather Thomas J Mourant  c.1835 of Grouville md. Jane Elizabeth c.1838 of St. Clement.   Thomas J. Mourant had 8 daughters and four sons.   I would like to follow some of the daughter's marriages and family lines thru the 20th century to the present day if possible.

Four of the daughters (all from Grouville) married as follows:


WEAVER,Harry md Ada L. Mourant b.1880.  5 chld: Sidney Weaver c.1904 (md Ann had 2 daughters); Edie Weaver c.1905;  Clara Weaver; 2nd daughter?; George Weaver md Bella ?.
 
BERTRAM,  John c1866 md Eliza Emilia Mourant b.1866 Grouville,  had a daughter Violet Florence May Watts Bertram b.6 Apr 1895 St. Helier.
 
TOUZEL, George John Tonkin  b 1863 St Helier md Jane Dixon Mourant c.1865, had 3 chld, George Thomas Touzel b.1892 St Helier; Beatrice b.1893 St. Helier; James Touzel b1901 St Helier.
 
LeFEUVRE ?, married Mathilda L. Mourant b. 1864 Grouville.
 
A fifth daughter, Mary Ann MOURANT married unknown and had 3 children: Thomas, Maude and Violet.  Violet married a Mick O'BRIEN (sp?)  and had a son Berte.

Does anyone know of any of these branches and any descendants up to the present?
I stayed as a baby with my sister and Aunt Ruby Mourant at the start of the war and was evacuated when the Islands were occupied.  I know it was with cousins that we stayed, but I don't know which cousins.  A pure guess was that it was a Weaver  or Touzel family, but I could easily be wrong.
Any help will be gratefully received.
