Great to make contact and it seems you have some interesting stuff for me. Sorry, I'm new to this, how do I PM you? My email is (*)

I have very little info for Jean at the moment, I had no records of all the children you have mentioned. I have Jane Elizabeth Celeste Eustache born 1862. no death date. Obtained from Jersey census 1871
Best regards
Chris

Hi Phil
I have noted with interest your research, especially surrounding Jean Eustache Portbail France as I am related (great great grandfather on the maternal side). Have you managed to discover any more information?  Did you get anywhere with your letter to the Mairie? I know Jean's daugher Jane married my great grandfather Auguste Jean Louis Mahieu, but I don't know where Auguste came from in France, perhaps Portbail too?

I am going to Normandy to see the Beaches in a week's time and hope to go to Portbail to try and discover more on the Mahieu/Eustache thread
If I manage to get there, anything I can try and find for you?
Chris

I too am searching for information for Eustache family(Jean born in Portbail Normandy circa 1821) whose daughter Jane marrried Auguste Jean Louis Mahieu, also born in France but not sure where yet. Do you have any French history for Eustache family that might be linked?

Hi

Do you agree that the 1881 and 1891 entries are the correct ones as both show Jane as b Jersey - not France

Neither the 1881/1891/1901 give a specific birthplace for Auguste - all just say France

Jean is on the 1871, 1891 and 1901 Census, [

If you have Jean in 1891 and 1901 then you also have Auguste.  In 1901 he is indexed as Juanstoff Mahieu  RG13 Piece 5318 Folio 107 Page 15


[Thanks for all this. I have no direct Jersey info yet, so perhaps as you say Jane was born there. I have asked Societe Jersiaise for help but await a response. I still cannot find any record of Auguste in Jersey but I am searching from Guernsey records so perhaps not comprehensive."Juanstoff " is a new name and references v helpful, so will retain for further investigation. Thanks very much!/quote]

Chris here. I'm new to this but from my info, Jean (John)  is the father, Jane is the daughter. Jane was married to Auguste Jean Louis Mahieu poss in France but matbe in Jersey. This is the kind of info I need to be able to trace back to where Auguste came from and his family roots. Any help again greatly appreciated. I live in Guernsey, so if needed a trip to Portbail is ok in due course. Thanks for all the feedback so soon! Chris

Thanks Stewart

So Jean has become Jane and was b 1862 St Martins Jersey

I'm puzzled - you say you have Jean/Jane on the 1891 census but cannot find Auguste

This is the 1891 entry you refer to

John L A Mahieu 35  (christian names shown above were Jean Louis Auguste)
Jane E  31
August   8
Mary J A   5
Clarence M L   1
George F 3 months

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Eustache/Mahieu family history
« on: Friday 10 September 10 16:50 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I'm trying to find out where my Great Grandfather was born in France, and then to drill down for his family history. I believe it could be Portbail in Normandy. His name was Auguste Jean Louis Mahieu, born circa 1857. He married Jane Elizabeth Celeste Eustache, d/o Jean Eustache born 1821 in Portbail. They lived in St Martin Jersey for several years and Jean is on the 1871, 1891 and 1901 Census, but I can't find Auguste on any Census.

Any assistance/ guidance would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
