Lavoirs

Other initials were recorded on lavoirs - spring fed communal washing
places. Often developed or restored by local men who were heads of
families in the Parish, or who had the right to use the lavoir, and left their
initials on a commerative piece of granite.


This is the Fontaine de Gallie Lavoir
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.
