Hello - I am searching for information about the above man.
In particular I am hoping to find a photograph of him
to add to our village archive.
Thank you

Here's a family tree, but not much known about him on it apart from a wife and daughter:
http://www.heardfamilyhistory.org.uk/ghtout/ipp.htm
and his medal card on National Archives site : http://www.rootschat.com/links/02oo/
Do you have census information for him? I can see him in 1881 & 1891

Hi
A quick scan of the Jersey Archive shows that there is a report of a "meeting of the officers of the North Regiment to consider the conduct of Captain Pellier 15/5/1818". There are also research notes on a Pellier family tree. Would any of this be useful?

Hello - Thank you both very much.
Barbara - I think I have this material, but not the census. are you able to send it? Thank you for your kindness.
Hill - That would be really interesting please.
Are you able to send it to me?
What amazing help this forum is and what kind members.
Thanks

Hi Jack
Yes, I can find out the information although the Archive Centre is now closed until Tuesday.
My only question though is 1818 too early as Ecneps link implies that he didn't get married until 1896 - which would have made him in his 80's
I'll certainly look them up and if they are worhwhile you can obtain copies, albeit at a small cost to the Archive Centre.

Hello Stewart - How stupid can I get - I read the date as 1918.
Thank you for your trouble - The reason I am looking for the great war
Captain Charles de Chanval Pellier Royal Army Medical Corp
is because our village is hoping to mount a commemorative exhibition
for the 90th anniversary of the 1918 Armistice and the men and women
who served and survived the war.
I thank you again for your trouble and regret I did not explain things better.
With very best wishes from a sunny south devon.

Hello Annie - Thanks for your efforts. Are you like me having

Most of all I was hoping for a photo of him. I shall try

Hi Old Jack,
I briefly responded to you under the 1914-18 website. I am carrying out archaeological and historical research into Tesson Mill in Jersey which was owned by the Pellier family between 1835 and 1895. It was purchased (piecemeal) by Philippe Pellier and was inherited by his son William in 1863 and by the latter's son Charles de Chanval Pellier on William's death in 1892. CdeCP was the only surviving son of William Pellier and Mary Margaret Pellier née Hughs and he had three sisters. Unfortunately the family has died out in Jersey but I understand that there may be descendants in South Africa but I have been unable to locate them (so far!). CdeCP died in 1946 his wife Winifred Elizabeth Pellier née Harris-Pitts died in 1921 and he left a sole child - Leonore Mary de Chanval Burner née Pellier - who I understand was in South Africa. Below are my notes
1881 Census - 7 - Roseville House, Roseville Street, St Helier
1891 Census - 17 - Cliff House School, Christchurch, Hampshire

The Captain Pellier of 1818 was his great grand father Daniel Pellier who appears to have got into trouble for appearing to refuse to agree seconds for a duel - I will try to find more on this but it's unlikely
-
Hello Vouvray - Thank you for this information. I shall try the local museums for a
photograph. Other than that I suspect that there is little chance of finding one.
As a matter of interest my searching on the 1914 - 1918 forum is turning up
some great results
Thank you and very best wishes.

Thanks

Hi Signet
Welcome to Rootschat :)
I think there's lots of information already given on this thread about Charles, but I'm sure Old Jack will contact you when he comes back online
Kind regards
Barbara

Hello Signet - I am sorry to say that I have never been able to trace any
photos.
Barbara is correct I only know what is already on this site about him.
I am sorry I can not add anything to help you with.
Best wishes
Old Jack
