Mr Josias Le Marchant
Mr Josias Le Marchant of the Haye du Puits was a very quiet country gentleman, and a man of great probity.
Reserved and hesitating in his speech, as a jurat of the Royal Court his orations were neither lucid nor lengthy.
He married a Miss Judith Ozanne of the Hougette in the Câtel parish, sister of Mary Ozanne, wife of Robert Porret Le Marchant, Jurat 1784, Bailiff 1800.
This office he resigned in 1810 and Peter de Havilland was selected in his stead.
Mr Robert Porret Le Marchant, though an excellent man, was weak both in body and mind, and never interfered in the politics of the island after his resignation.
He retired to his house at the Câtel, where he died, and which is still known as 'the Cottage', a name which recalls the littleness of the grandee-ism of that day, for it is the largest house in the parish.
Robert Porret Le Marchant was HM Receiver for some years, and had his office in LeFebvre Street, opposite his late father’s mansion (lately purchased by Dr McGrath).
His chief Clerk was John Carey of the Grange, who succeeded in the Receivership, and held it for many years, getting a pension of £150 a year on his retirement. Mr Le Marchant – Thomas Le Marchant (this patronyme he has obtained since the purchase of the Haye du Puits) – bought this estate at the death of Miss Sophie Le Marchant, the last unmarried daughter, who had been living for some years under the care of the family of le Sieur Le Tissier, formerly tenant farmer of the family, and who became possessed of the estate of La Pouquelaie and £2000 or £3000 by the will of this Miss Le Marchant as remuneration for services rendered since the death of her parents.Mr Peter Le Marchant, brother of William Le Marchant, Bailiff, was a maniac and was under the surveillance of Mr D. Dorey of the Groignet, where he had a room in the gable of the farmhouse, as a place of safety during his fits of insanity, though 'singing aloud' seems to be the true extent of his malady.
Mr Charles Le Marchant married Mrs W. Le Mesurier [*see below]. (His brother William died unmarried, this William was very simple-minded and considered wanting in intellect. Le petit Billy Le Marchant, he was usually called.) By Mrs Le Mesurier he had Alfred, who had a university education and a short life; Elizabeth, married to Dr Hutchesson; Martha = Mrs Lawrence; Henrietta = Mrs Baynes.
The alliance of Elizabeth with Dr F[rancis] P[ery] Hutchesson was against the wishes of the three Misses Le Marchant, sisters of Eléazar Le Marchant, Seigneur du Comte and dependancies. Dr Hutchesson had been in the army and came here with his regiment. The Le Marchant property had devolved in the line of Eléazar and his sisters, and the whole ought to have descended to the family of Charles, but the old ladies would not countenance the marriage of Elizabeth with an army man (un Swablin³), and, in consequence, the largest share of the property was diverted from its proper line, and went to John Le Marchant, son of James, of Rotterdam, who had married Mary, the eldest daughter of Robert Porret Le Marchant, and a large share was given to Thomas Priaulx of Montville, a legatee under the will of these ladies. I have noted this act of the Misses Le Marchant, as I had it from Dr Hutchesson himself, who, being on his side descended from one of the most respected families in Canterbury, was in the full expectation of a large share of his aunts’ property. But they, fancying that the name Le Marchant denoted a foreigner or one of French family, left their fortune entirely away from the Doctor! At the same time the conduct of the two sons of the marriage was such that the Canterbury property was irretrievably willed away from them – 'thus'- said Dr Hutchesson 'have I fallen between two fires'.
From the *Chepmell MSS
Mr Charles Le Marchant was a very good man, but noted for his immense stupidity.
His wife was widow of Mr William Le Mesurier of the College by whom she had a son, the handsome and popular Henry Le Mesurier BA of Brazenose, Oxon., who died an ensign in the army.
After the death of her first husband she wrote a letter to her kinsman Charles Le Marchant, who was vegetating somewhere in the West Indies, to come over and marry her.
The obedient Adonis hastily embarked in a ship and arrived home, and greatly astounded Mrs Nicolas Le Mesurier, ugly Betty’s sister-in-law, when the flounce4 became known.
For only the night before his coming the ugly and disconsolate widow, all tears and sorrow had been at her house, loudly bemoaning the dear departed!
His elder brother Thomas, a retired Lieutenant of Mariners (familiarly called [John] Tom Sticks by the Patricians and le Ramoneaux (the chimney sweeper) by the Plebeians) – by his miserly habits had hoarded so much money that he 'cut up' splendidly, and Charles found himself possessed of a very good competence.
His son Alfred who was brought up as a barrister, and was heir of the Grandes Maisons, was a man of some natural talent, but he shortened his life by living fast.
The Hutchessons and Baynes inherited this property.

Thomas Priaulx
Thomas Priaulx
Portrait of Thomas Priaulx. © RBS, 2013.
Thomas Priaulx (1762-1844) was a merchant and banker. He was a founding partner in, and chairman of, Guernsey Banking Company.
Background and early life
Thomas Priaulx was born on 9 May 1762. He was the second son of Thomas Priaulx and his wife Rebecca, daughter of John Le Marchant. The Priaulx family was long-established in Guernsey and had originally gained its wealth through smuggling and privateering. Thomas Priaulx senior himself owned a small fleet of armed merchant vessels.
Thomas Priaulx senior was also a partner in an agency which acted as bankers to customers and clients of Carteret, Jersey & Co, the firm owned by his brothers-in-law. Carteret, Jersey & Co was one of the largest businesses in Rotterdam and specialised in shipping alcohol and tea to England via the Channel Islands.
Thomas junior attended a private school at Plympton in England for around three years.
Career
At one time Thomas Priaulx considered studying medicine, but in the summer of 1777 he went to work for his uncle James Le Marchant at his office in Rotterdam. He later returned to Guernsey and joined his elder brother in the family shipping company Carteret Priaulx & Co. They operated a global privateering business from their counting house on Cornet Street, St Peter Port.
In 1827 Priaulx and his fellow merchants John Le Marchant and Hilary Rougier started a bank as an offshoot to their other trading activities. Priaulx, Le Marchant, Rougier & Co, popularly known as Guernsey Banking Company, was the first bank in Guernsey.
The new enterprise thrived, meeting the island’s need for dedicated banking facilities, in particular providing a way for customers to send remittances to England and France without incurring large premiums.
Within a few years, the arrival of competitors led Priaulx’s bank to become more commonly known as Guernsey Old Bank. Priaulx himself was chairman of the bank from its foundation until his death in 1844.
Family life, death and legacy
On 15 December 1792 Thomas Priaulx married Anne Lihou. They had two sons and eight daughters together: James, Thomas, Letitia, Frances Henrietta, Emma, Eliza Jane, Anne, Louisa, Julia Anne and Mary.
Thomas Priaulx died on 26 February 1844, aged 81. He was buried at Candie Cemetry, St Peter Port.
Several of Priaulx’s relatives and descendants held office in Guernsey Old Bank, including:
- James Priaulx, son of Thomas Priaulx, chairman of the bank, 1849-56
- de Vic Carey, husband of Thomas Priaulx’s daughter Frances Henrietta, chairman of the bank, 1861-74
- General de Vic Francis Carey, son of de Vic Carey and Frances Henrietta Priaulx, chairman of the bank, 1879-1906
- Victor Gosselin Carey, great grandson of Thomas Priaulx, director from 1906
Thomas’s nephew Osmond de Beauvoir Priaulx, the son of his brother Anthony, gifted the Priaulx library to Guernsey.
