The 1849 Godfray Map
THE MAP
Produced in 1849 by Hugh Godfray, a “Map of The Island of Jersey” on a scale of approximately 4.3inches to a mile (1:14,735) shows all roads, lanes, houses and their Proprietors at that date. with the exception of the houses in the towns and villages, notably St.Heliers, St.Aubin and Gorey). The map is quite large measuring some 55 x 40 inches, and is available from the Societe Jersiaise.
LISTED HOUSES
The monumental two volume work by Joan Stevens “‘Old Jersey Houses”, (Published by Phillimore) lists many of the houses shown on the “Godfrey Map”. Though some locations cannot be pinpointed with the data many are indicated as nearly as possible. Reference is made to the Volume and Page of the work cited. (OJH Vol. & p.)
THE INDEX
Names of House Proprietors are listed in alphabetical order by Parish. In most cases only one initial is given for an individual, thus there is a certain ambiguity in the nomenclature for a number of individuals may bear the same name or names starting with the same letter ( i.e. “J ” for Jean, John, Joseph,James etc), on the other hand a given individual may be the owner of several houses.
Reference to the Grid system is for the most part only an indication in which 1 kilometer grid the subject lies (i.e. where the three digit numerals end in zero). Where possible a more specific location is given in location of houses cited in “Old Jersey Houses” (OJH, see above)
Attribution to a Cueillette or Vingtaine is taken from that shown on the “Godfray Map”. The referral to “Village or Area” is more arbitrary, and is drawn from the Ordinance Survey map in part.
My thanks to the compiler of the list from where this information was extracted. Whilst I cannot recall his name I will post it as soon as I can.

IF THERE IS NO PARISH SHOWN THEN THIS MEANS THAT NO PROPERTIES WERE LISTED IN THAT PARISH
The predominance of Viberts in the Leoville and Ville Bagot areas is still the same today!
