a jersey durell wanting info...
Hi there!
This is so exciting, I had no idea my family history was so interesting. My name is Olivia Chapman, my grandmother was Clarice Durrell from Jersey, who died about 10 years ago. She told me about the le vavasseurs, which is how I ended up here, but I have no idea about my history apart from hearing mentions of Phillipe. Is he descended from the French Le Vavasseurs, John and Marie?? It would also be great to hear from other Durells from Jersey. If someone could fill me on the details I'd be really grateful cos I can't afford membership being a poor student! Is there a book available about their lives? Is it true they escaped the French revolution? This was a rumour my grandmother told me. Thank you!!
