Le Goupillot Family

[Ed the Cat]

I'm researching my Grandfathers family, I have managed to trace them back to 1757. What I'm trying to find out is who was the mother of John Pierre Victor Francois Goupillot  born 1823 his father was Auguste Bienamie born 1803. I do know that Jon Pierre married Jeanne Marie Victoria Morin and two of thier daughters worked for Victor Hugo (one being mentioned in his diaries) If any one can help I would be most grateful, this is the missing part in my tree.
Many thanks

Hi -

I think I have the family in 1841 census, Guernsey, but the enumerator is a bit mean with the details:

1841 Guernsey, St Peter Port distr. 4, page 1, piece 11, folio 26
No.1 Commercial Arcade
A.B. Goupillot  38  Grocer  b: France
Mrs S Goupillot  30            b: Guernsey
Anne   7
L  [female]   3
Augustine  2

Unfortunately I did not find JPVF Goupillot.

Many thanks for that Mike, this A B Goupillot is my 4xGt Grandfather. He married Rachel Carre (1829)with whom he definately had two children  - Male (born and died 1831), and Augustus Thomas(b 1835). JPVF (wonderful initials) was born 1823 so I think that 6 years is a bit of a too bigger gap. He then married Sophie who is Mrs S Goupillot in 1841 ish
Because Auguste was born in Cherbourg I wonder if JPVF was born there and went to the Channel Islands with his father ( and possibily his mother) and so there is no record of his birth in the Channel Islands

Many thanks again

Hello Ed,

I live in France (Normandy) et I believe that the family Le Goupillot (it's my name) came from Cotentin (around Cherbourg). Perhaps some of them left to go to work in channel islands. I would try to find connections between names from my tree and persons found in channel islands census.

Do you know the names of women Le Goupillot who worked for Victor Hugo in Guernsey ?

Regards

Ed the Cat, I suppose you know that there is a Victor Hugo Museum on Guernsey, in his old house, who may be able to help if you need really obscure information.  Tel 01481 721911.

Hello Ed,

Thanks a lot for the news

It's funny. I found a Jean Pierre Victor Le Goupillot in my tree. He is also born in 1823 near Cherbourg. But his father was not Augustus... I don't know what he became after his birth

I am new on this site, so I can't still send PM. I believe that i have to post three message before.

Bye

Hi again
I have gained most of my information from the census and by writing to the family history people on Gurnsey, if I have some wrong in my tree I would certainly welcome any corrections. I will send you a personal message with my home email on it to make it easier for us to comunicate
