Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Help! Grellier - Huguenots in Jersey
« on: Thursday 22 September 11 14:57 BST (UK) »
I am researching a family surnamed 'Grellier' who were Huguenots from Montcoutant in France.
There are references to a branch of this family living in Jersey in the early to mid 18th century and I'm wondering if they may be a missing link.
My assumption is that they lived in St Helier, though I am not certain of this. I would be very grateful if anyone would be willing to check for the following people in the christening records for that place:
1. Perine Grellier b c1725? daughter of James Grellier (she was married in London 1745)
2. Henry Grellier b c1730 (died London 1819 age 89)
3. Peter Paul Grellier b c1732 son of ?? (died in London 1804 age 72)
4. Jane Grellier b c1733 ?? sister of Peter Paul
5. Mary Grellier b c1735 sister of Peter Paul (died in London 1816 age 81)
- The will of Gabriel Grellier of London (dated 1740) mentions relatives James Grellier and Aimee widow of Paul Grellier both resident in Jersey.
If the records are indexed and there are not too many entries could I ask if a complete list be provided -assuming there are Grelliers in St Helier of course!
Any help in this matter is deeply appreciated.
