Notes and references
- ↑ Formerly Le Clos Bisson, which he built in 1733, on land purchased from Michel Lemprière in 1732. This house and its land is in Maufant, St Saviour, with the lane passing within one metre to the west of the house being the Trinity border. Philippe and Marie Hocquard, his wife, had a stone at their home engraved: PDG MHC 1733 to commemorate the completion of their house

- ↑ Inherited Maison du Buisson on the death of Philippe. The house was inherited in turn by her brother Matthieu when she died
- ↑ Intended for the Anglican church by his two merchant uncles, he went, instead, to sea. He became a Prisoner of War when forming part of a prize crew, under instructions to sail a captured French ship back to England. When a prisoner at the Castle of Angers, he became the hospital orderly and, speaking both French and English, was made interpreter between the sick English prisoners and their French nurses. It was the example set by the latter, who were Sisters of the Order of St Vincent de Paul, that led to his conversion to the Roman Catholic faith. He was ordained a Priest (1788), and then became Vicar of Beauvoir-sur-Mer, in the diocese of Luçon. He latterly combined his duties as a priest with being a French Royalist spy and courier in his district, being La Vendée. He was caught by the republicans and executed by firing squad in 1797. He is credited with having re-introduced the Roman Catholic faith to Jersey. See Balleine, G R, A Biographical Dictionary of Jersey, (Staples Press, 1948). He has, since this publication, been beatified by the Roman Catholic Church, along with others who also met their deaths as a result of atheism during the first French Revolution

- ↑ Living in the 18th century, this Marie had probably died as an infant, to be replaced in 1728 by another Marie. In the 17th century and earlier, a new-born child in Jersey, was frequently named after a dying child, to preserve family Christian names and economise on christening silver. It was not unheard of for the ailing infant to then survive, leaving two siblings with the same name. Lawyers got around the problem of legal ambiguity by referring to them in deeds as, for example, "Marie de Gruchy senr. daughter of Philippe" and "Marie de Gruchy junr. daughter of Philippe". Not unsurprisingly, this custom fell into disuse. By the 18th century, a newborn was usually given either a different name or that of a child that had already, actually, died.

- ↑ Sailmaker, in 1851, at 30 Colomberie, St Helier. His full name is absent from later Island and UK censuses and Jersey burial records. He is referred to, both in that census and the following source as merely 'George de Gruchy': UK and Ireland Masters and Mates Certificates, at www.ancestry.co.uk. The latter source has: "George de Gruchy...of 30 Colomberie, St Helier, in the Merchant Service...17 years...sailmaker and mate, foreign trade." The entry is dated 6 August 1851. His voyages far abroad are listed, from 1834 to 1850, and his rating recorded as sailmaker, seaman, 2nd mate and mate, See also De Gruchy ships captains. His date and place of birth are given as 27 May 1815, Jersey. Given that his immediate elder within the family, Caroline Susan Vernon de Gruchy, appears not to have had any baptism at an early age, his own, on 15 January 1817, was also presumably dilatory. His actual date of birth was no doubt as stated, especially as he gave his age as 35 at the time of the 1851 census. Where he died is not known
