Sark names

A list of Sark surnames, from Cachemaille's The Island of Sark, originally published in 1874-76, ed. Laura Hale, 1928.

A list of the names of the first inhabitants of Sark, who came with the Seigneur of St Ouen, or soon after. Taken from the Registers from 1570-1603. [These are copied by Reverend Cachemaille as written in the registers, rather than modernized, as Slowly, Brevint, Romeril etc.]


Hamon, Brevin, Poindextre, Griphon, De Carteret, Guille, Le Conteur, Christin, Rogier, Dolbel, Vaudin, Gueste, Mahier, Pipet, Masurier, Gaudin, Noel, Huc, Dubois, Nicole, Baleine, Rhoe, Alexandre, Dupré, Vibert, Le Broc, Le Bouvier, Jagau, Tanqueray, Le Cerf, Martin, Quedey, Hotton, Sloly, Romery, Des Claudes, Des Landes, Smith, Bayer, Paychin, Chevalier, Gregory, Le Gros.

Only seven names of this list still in the island in 1875. [These are in italics. As only six are picked out, one assumes that Laura Hale meant to include Guille in the seven.] P. 241.
