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.
