(Heart) ADMR MBD (scroll) ADMR RCB 1782. This stone records the refronting
of La Ruette (St Sv) in 1782. The intitials stand for Abraham Dumaresq
(1717 - 1787) and his wife Marie Blondel (*** - 1792) and their son Abraham
Jnr (1760 - 1830) and his wife Rachel Corbin (*** - 1806). They were married
in 1783 so the stone does not commemorate this event. This datestone also
includes a symbol between the top set of initials which might well be a
family / merchant type of mark and which is also found on the stone at
Le Grand Douit (see EDMR IDMR 1778). La Ruette is recorded as a Dumaresq
house in the earliest Livre de Perchage
of 1616 and remained in the family until 1834. From Mark
Norman.

B & F 1870. Given it's location in the harbour at St Sampson, this
will have been a commercial enterprise. So far searches of Guernsey Almanacs
dated 1870 and 1873 have not yielded up a name for them. Quayside House,
(St S).*

ED 1720. Elizée Dobrée. La Frégate Hotel and Restaurant
(St PP). Jean Dobrée (1597-1665) bought this land from Marguerite
Nicolle on 16.11.1636. He built the first house, known as Beauregard. His
descendants included Elizée Dobrée (1663-1727) m. (C) 13.2.1689
Elizabeth Henry, and their son Elizée Dobrée (1698-1729)
m. (St PP) 3.6.1719 Elizabeth Careye. It is most likely that Elizée
Jnr. was responsible for the dated stone and the rainwater head below -
see also ED 1721 and PDR 1752.
EDMR IDMR. 1778 Le Grand Douit (St Sv).This stone records Elizee Dumaresq
(1743 - 1798) and his wife Jacquinne Dumaresq (presumably also a cousin).
Until 1718 the Livre de Perchage
lists this as a De Garis house. By 1854 it had returned to this family's
ownership following the emigration to the USA of the last Dumaresq owner
although the last recorded Dumaresq lived there until the 1870s. The datestone
here also includes the same family logo/ merchant's mark seen at La Ruette.
It is not connected to the Dumaresq coat of arms. From Mark
Norman.
