- on La Rue de Vaux de L'Eglise (St Mt).

- A message from Tony LeSauteur
dated November 15th 1999:
-
- Douet Fleury Lavoir
- EELS 1832 would be Edouard Elie Le Sauteur, Centenier of St.Martin,
born 1792, married to Jeanne Sohier. They lived on Rue Faldouët in
the Vingtaine du Fief de la Reine.

- A message from John
Vardon dated March 12th1999:
-
- 1. Fontaine de Gallie
- I believe the Phillipe Vardon referred to is a son of Louis
who was a Huguenot refugee from France. Phillipe was born 1788/79 in St
Trinity but by 1815 was living in St Martin. He married Rachel Cabot on
1 Feb 1812. In 1841 he was a shipbuilder, in 1851 a landed proprieter and
a farmer in 1861 - all referenced in the census.
-
- Elie Vardon is more difficult to identify. Or could it be Elias?
The best 'fit' I can get is Elie, (1804 - aft 1871) who lived at Ville
de L'Eglise in the mid 1800s. He married Anne Pallot in about 1828. The
above Phillipe was his uncle. He is my first cousin four times removed!
-
- 2. Douet Fleury Lavoir
- The Phillipe Vardon mentioned here could be the brother of the
above Elie. He married Jeanne De Gruchy in 1795. Rachel Vardon who
married Thomas Ahier was the first daughter of Phillipe referneced in 1.
above.
-
- My family tree consists of about 300 Vardons most originating from
Jersey (or France if you count the original two brothers Louis and Nicolas)
and all related to Harry (Henry) Vardon the golfer.

-
The Bouley Bay Hill Lavoir is between the first
and
- second sharp bends on Charrières de Bouley (T). The
- stream (covered by a well-head) runs into a trough and
- the granite paved lavoir bed is now almost dried out.
- The inscriptions are on the trough and are dated 1834.
