Ray 2 Rough Index to the Le Mesurier Family, 2010 Introduction to the Rough Index 2012 For the last 14 years I have gradually been entering details of the vast family that my wife’s father left me. Together with my own Guernsey family I have accrued over 14,000 names mostly family, yet the Rough Index includes thousands of other names associated in some way to the family. As I am now in my mid-70’s, history and historic records is well in my blood and part of my life is devoted to restoring historic buses! Looking at the name in the heading, you may wonder whether “Le Messurier” is excluded. In my research I have found both versions are used frequently within the same family. My computer family history programme recognises all single ‘s’ and double ‘ss’ as the same. I have tried to enter most of the double ‘s’ in the Index. By the way, I am Ray Le Mesurier- Foster, proud to be a member of the Guernsey Robin family, an ancient line in the Island. I started in 1971, piecing together my complicated family tree, then in 1997 I attended the Family History exhibition in Guernsey and met a fellow historian, Mary Le Mesurier. When I married her at the end of 1997, I was to find that her home oozed Le Mesurier material. The task ahead was to locate everything together and start getting it all on the computer. The first Index was made by Col. Augustus Le Mesurier in 1904 then the second in 1910. Comprising 113 pages it has long been the bible of the family. However, time has gone by and a hundred years later we have so much more information availble, Census records, Birth, Marriage and death records ‘on line’, records from across the world, important documents stored in Archives. I have just to sit at home on my computer and gather in the information. Perhaps the best source of information is the availability of the Census records from 1841 to 1911, something that Col. Augustus could not get hold of. Hours, days, weeks, months of work on my computer has resulted in the document you now have, hopefully a wealth of family history, not just for Le Mesurier’s, but other Guernsey families. I have tried to keep a certain format throughout the Index and you should be able to follow it through quite easily, but if I have slipped up somewhere – sorry! I have wondered how I could distribute the finished project. A Book maybe? A few books will be produced but will go to specific places like the Priaulx Library. On a disc maybe. Yes, some will be made and distributed. But the best idea is to allow you to download it from a dedicated Web-site, free of charge! You possibly got yours from www.guernsey-society.org.uk and I hope you may even have thought that joining the Guernsey Society was a good idea – 3 mags a year! The other idea I have put into place is to split the Document into two parts, with the whole index in part one, other items of interest in part two. Then I am adding a section on photographs. I hope you have all three sections son! I have not produced an index to find names as this computer version is searchable, but the best way to understand the Rough Index is to read it! Now for the Preface, written by Col. Augustus, and reproduced in full. Bear in mind that here and throughout the Index the Colonel does make comments. Mine will have “RLMF” after the comment! And just for the record I wish to thank:- Amanda Bennett at the Priaulx Library and all her staff. Transcribers of the original 1910 edition: Lloyd Brehaut, Karen-Anne Duncan, Diane Essex-Clark, Michele Gaylor, Orinda Spence, Joan Webster, Steve Marquis, Pam Hislop, Elizabeth Greef, Sally Patton, Syd Patterson, John Sabire, Ron Dobrée, Marion Mabire, Susan Patt, Janet Beach, Tina Norris Fields, Lorna Pratt, Richard Lawton, Janice Potter and Stephen Foote Linda Holewa and the Clan Macrea Society of North America for the articles on Robert McCrea and his family. Alex Rose for the article about Job Le Mesurier and his family. Anyone else I may have missed. I suppose I should thank the late Major Hubert (Bruin) Le Mesurier, M.C. for providing a wonderful daughter, for had I not married her, this production would not have happened! 3 Rough Index to the Le Mesurier Family, 2010 There are bound to be mistakes in a work of such complexity so I apologise in advance. Corrections can be emailed to me and I am hopeful that the internet version of the Index will be updated from time to time. Ray Le Mesurier-Foster, JP. History of the Le Mesurier Family by Major H.F.A. Le Mesurier Le Messurier is an ancient Guernsey name. It first appears in Guernsey records in 1274 in the form ‘Mesurier’ and then about the year 1300 as ‘Ie Mesurier’ or ‘Ie Masurier.’ There are various theories about its original meaning which depend on the way it was spelt before the days of printing. The most persuasive is that it was an occupational name describing ‘a person…engaged in measuring land or possibly vessels and boats.’ Guernsey is an extraordinary possession of the Crown of England – a small, triangular shaped island, about fifteen kilometres long, which is closer to France than to England about fifty kilometres from Normandy as compared with over a hundred from Devon. In 1800, when the first census was taken, it had a population of a little over 16,000. Like the other nearby Channel Islands of Jersey, Alderney, Herm and Sark, it formed part of the Duchy of Normandy when Duke William conquered King Harold of England at the battle of Hastings in 1066 and has remained in possession of the Crown of England ever since, despite the loss of mainland Normandy in 1204. Massive fortifications testify to the determination of the islanders to preserve their independence from France. But they have also insisted that Britain should allow them to retain their distinctive governing bodies, laws and courts – literally to be a law unto themselves. Only in the areas of defence and international relations have the islanders handed responsibility to the British Government. The official language continued to be French until 1926, and as late as 1947 some seventeen members of the Le Messurier family in Australia became involved in the toils of Guernsey feudal law when they were the sole heirs of the residues of the estates of two sisters, Matilda Godfray and Eliza Lihou, who had died within a short time of each other. Although it was nearly a century since their common Guernsey forbears had migrated to South Australia, the Australian heirs now received astonishingly long letters from the Channel Islands discussing such matters as escheating to the Crown and to the Lord of the Manor, ‘rentes’ of wheat, ‘propre paterneles’ and ‘propre materneles’, and inheritance ‘per stirpes’. Eventually the principal issues were determined by a sitting of the Royal Court of Guernsey on 22 April 1950. Most of the real estate went to the Crown and to the Lady of the Manor of Maux Marquis, the money, stocks, shares, and furniture went to fourteen of the seventeen heirs (three brothers evidently being excluded by virtue of belonging to a younger generation) and the proceeds from the sale of a field were distributed among all seventeen according to a complex formula which distributed amounts ranging from 2/81sts to 2/15ths, depending on the sex of the heir, the sex and number of his or her siblings, and the generation to which he or she belonged.

  • Developing Cross-Bailiwick Restructuring Laws: the Guernsey
    Developing cross-bailiwick restructuring laws: The Guernsey and Jersey Royal Courts sanction cross-border pooling of assets and liabilities of insolvent companies Publication - 01/04/2020 Overview In decisions delivered on 24 August 2015 and 7 October the Royal Courts of Guernsey Court and Jersey respectively held that where the affairs of two insolvent companies (incorporated in Jersey and Guernsey respectively) are so intermingled that the expense of unravelling them would adversely affect distributions to creditors, it can be appropriate to treat the companies as a single entity. Having concluded that there was no bar in the legislative framework of Guernsey which would prevent such an application and with the interests of creditors firmly to the fore, the Deputy Bailiff of Guernsey granted a proposal by the Joint Liquidators (from Grant Thornton) to consolidate the assets and liabilities of a Guernsey company with the assets and liabilities of a related, but separate company incorporated in Jersey subject to the sanction of the Jersey Court. The Jersey Court subsequently reached a similar conclusion in terms of its jurisdiction to grant a pooling order. This is the first time the Guernsey Court has considered and granted such an order, which has allowed a procedure which, on its face, would appear to contradict basic principles i.e. separate legal personality and that creditors can only share in the assets of the company against which they are entitled to lodge a claim. Acknowledging the inevitable rise of cross-jurisdictional corporate insolvencies, the Guernsey Court confirmed the basic purpose of a liquidation was the realisation of a company’s assets for the benefit of its creditors and held that where there was a solution whereby creditors would receive more than they otherwise would, then common sense dictated that such a solution should find favour with the Court.

  • The Guernsey Guns by Simon Hamon
    The Guernsey Guns By Simon Hamon Standing in a quiet formal garden in Guernsey, as a silent reminder to war, are two German 13.5cm field howitzers. Most people may simply pass them by as they drive or walk past Victoria Tower and Gardens in St Peter Port. Surprisingly these two pieces of artillery were not left over from the German Occupation of the Islands in the 1940s, but had been presented to Guernsey after the Great War. Even as the Battle of the Somme was raging in France, the question of how the authorities were going to deal with trophies and relics seized from the enemy was being raised. During a debate in parliament on the 31st July, 1916, the MP for Newington West, James Gilbert, asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was ‘… the intention of the War Office to exhibit in London any of the captured guns and trophies obtained during the recent advance by London and other regiments; and, if so, can he state when and where such an exhibition will be held’. This question was followed by a further one from Sir Archibald Williamson, the MP for Elginshire and Nairnshire. Also directing his enquiry at the Secretary of State for War, Williamson asked whether ‘… the distinguished services of Highland regiments [would be recognised] by placing some of the captured German guns in the North of Scotland; and whether he will place one in Cooper Park, Elgin?’ In both cases the advice given was that both MPs should direct their requests to the Army Commander of the District in which their constituencies lay.

  • Christmas 1917 Must Have Been One of the Saddest Seasons of Goodwill
    Guernsey’s Lost Generation By Liz Walton The impact of the German Occupation on Guernsey’s way of life has been the subject of many books, films and documentaries in recent years. However the scale of change brought about by the previous war has largely been overlooked. The First World War, or the Great War for Civilisation as it was then called, ended only twenty years before the Second World War began. Memories of its horrors were probably still too fresh in the minds of the men returning to the island for them to want to write or talk about it in the inter-war years, and since then, the more recent conflict has largely replaced its predecessor as a subject for study. This is due at least in part to its greater accessibility, as it is still within the living memory of many islanders, while very few survivors of the 1914-18 war remain. Also in the Second World War, all islanders rather than just the fighting men were brought face to face with the enemy, and suffered bombing, hardship and deprivation. This focus on the more recent conflict at the expense of the earlier one means that nowadays many islanders are not aware of the fact that Guernsey, like many other communities, effectively lost a generation of young men in one year, and with this loss a way of life was changed for ever. By the time that war broke out, in August 1914, Guernsey’s population had doubled compared with a hundred years earlier1, reaching a total of approximately 40,000.

  • GS Misc 1241 GENERAL SYNOD
    GS Misc 1241 GENERAL SYNOD THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND Summary A draft Measure is before this Synod enabling the attachment of the Channel Islands Deaneries to the Diocese of Salisbury. This is the principal recommendation of an Archbishop’s Commission which reported last October. If agreed, this would enable Order(s) in Council to end the attachment of the Islands to Winchester, and the ad hoc arrangements that have been made for their oversight since 2013. This way forward is supported by the Island Deaneries and the Diocese of Salisbury. Summary of the Commission’s Report The Archbishop’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England was set up in June 2018 following the breakdown between the Islands and the Bishop of Winchester (the Rt Revd Tim Dakin) over the suspension of the then Dean of Jersey (the Very Revd Bob Key) in March 2013 in relation to the handling of a safeguarding matter. The former Bishop of London, Lord Chartres, chaired the Commission assisted by two members (Sir Christopher Clarke & Lady Wilcox) and two consultants (Sir de Vic Carey from Guernsey and Mark Temple QC from Jersey). Since 2014 Bishop Trevor Willmott has by agreement being providing episcopal oversight for the Islands (with Islands parishes paying parish share to Canterbury in return for the provision of some common services), but it was recognised that this was not a permanent arrangement. Paragraphs 3-14 cover the historical background.
