Peter Le Prevost look up

[Jandah]

First time on roots chat so please bear with me.  Could someone check if Peter Le Prevost b c1839, St Pierre du Bois, Guernsey, married Nancy Sarre?  Peter might have been baptised Pierre and was the youngest of 7 children of Charles Le Prevost and Marie De La Mare.  I think it is him in 1861 census, St Peter in the Wood, married to Nancy + 5 day old daughter.  Nancy appears to have a 4 year old son, John Dyke.  Thanks, Jandah

Hi

I have have been given a very detailed family history of the Le Prevost's which dates back to 1690.  However, it shows Charles Le Prevost and Marie De La Mare having only 6 children - Daniel, Charles, Marie, Thomas, Nicolas and Jean Bonamy.  No mention of a Pierre.  I'd be interested if you find anything.

Many thanks for your reply.  Pierre/Peter is the only one I don't have baptism details for; only a birth date of 16Jun1839.

Evidence of his presence with the family can be seen in the 1841 census.  As relationships aren't shown it is difficult to know for sure that he is a son.  Other children of the family (Charles, Mary, Thomas, Nicolas and John) are present with their mother, Mary.  Anglicisation (if that is a word) of the names can complicate matters.  This is again shown in the 1851 census where Peter age 12 is living with his widowed mother Mary.

Since making my post I have had contact from other Le Prevost descendants and I am satisfied that there was a Peter/Pierre, son of Charles Le Prevost and Marie De La Mare, who married Nancy Sarre in 1861.  One of their sons is Bonamy Le Prevost b1866 which might indicate that Peter is a brother of Jean Bonamy Le Prevost.

I have my tree on Genes Reunited.  If you are a member I would be happy to allow you to see what I have.

Thanks again, Jandah

I think you need to check out the marriage of Peter Le Prevost and Nancy Sarre to check Peters fathers name.
There are 2 Peters born in Guernsey around the same time.There are 2 trees on Ancestry one has Peter marrying Nancy Sarre but his parents are down as John and Elizabeth Le Prevost
The other has Peter marrying Nancy Sarre but his parents are down as Peter and Mary Le Prevost.In 1841 and 51 Peter is with his mother and siblings.
One  obviously has the wrong parents.
Also in the 1881 census when married to Nancy his date of birth 1842 in Catel,Guernsey which matches with the 1851 census below with parents John and Elizabeth?

1851 St Peter Port,Guernsey
John Le Prevost,Head,30,Carpenter,St Saviour Guernsey
Elizabeth Le Prevost,29,Catel,Guernsey
Peter Le Prevost,Son,9,Catel,Guernsey
Thomas Le Prevost,son,7,Catel,Guernsey
Mary Ann le Prevost,Dau,2,Catel,Guernsey

Thanks very much for that.  It was my confusion about the two Peter Le Prevosts that prompted me to post my original request.  I probably didn't word it clearly enough but I was trying to establish which Peter married Nancy Sarre.

If anyone could check Peter's father's name by looking up their marriage 25Feb1861, The Greffe, Guernsey, I would be grateful.

Thankyou.
