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.
