John Eli Bree

[onemoretrail]

I am doing some research for my wife, whose family originated from Jersey.  Her grandfather, Ernest Norman Bree, grew up on the Fauvic Farm in St Clements.  He emigrated to Canada and lost contact with most of the family in Jersey. From what I have found out his father was John Eli Bree.  I have been able to find out information on his children, but after a couple of generations the information dries up.  I found a great grandson, Roy Harold Bree, who had 4 children.  They are Sally, Jacqueline, Tina, and John Roy Harold Bree.  The son of Roy Harold may have gone to Australia with the parents, but I don't know what happened to the daughters. I also found a son, Cyril, who had four daughters. Joyce, Dorothy, Kathleen, and Fay. Again the trail disappears. If anyone happens to know anything about these descendants of John Eli Bree, it would be much appreciated.

Do you have any dates that could narrow things down?

Incidentally, Fauvic Farm is in Rue au Long. One side of the road is in St Clement and the other in Grouville which is a hot-bed for the Bree's probably because it is nearer Grouville Church than St Clement Church.
