Record Search


Direct links to lists of baptisms, marriages and burials for the Blampied family can be found under Family Records opposite. If you want to search for records for a spelling variant of Blampied, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

Origin of Surname

George Balleine gives the origin as the early French for white foot but says:

Blampied, white-foot, is a puzzle. One wonders how the whiteness of a man's feet attracted the attention of his neighbours. Yet it is not the corruption of some other word, for we get the name Whitefoot in England. Perhaps it was given in scorn to a man too dainty to get his feet dirty.

Early records

We previously showed here that although a common Jersey name from the 16th Century to the present, Blampied did not appear to have any older roots in the island. The name is found in the Extente of 1528 and the Jersey Chantry Certificate of 1550 contains four Blampieds.

However, we had somehow overlooked the spelling variations listed in our Comprehensive list of Jersey surnames and now shown below. We are indebted to a Blampied descendant for pointing out that Jersey Archive contains a contract dated 1402 between Guille de St Martin Seigneur of the Fief de la Trinity and several tenants, including John Blancpie dit Petit, John Blancpie the elder, and John Blancpie the younger. This suggests that the Blampied name was found in Trinity from the 14th century, there being three adult males by 1402.

There is also a cosiderable body of Blampieds in Guernsey, though they may have arrived there originally from Jersey.

Variants

  • Blampied 1607
  • Blampy 1528
  • Blancpy 1484
  • Blancpie 1402
  • Blancpuy 1381

Distribution

This is very much a Trinity family. Of the 1386 Blampied births and baptisms in our database, 514 were recorded in Trinity. The other northern and central parishes - St John (191), St Mary (60), St Martin (108), St Peter (164) provide another 523. The family hardly ventured into the south east of the island, with a total of only 61 registrations in St Saviour, St Clement and Grouville.

There is a Blanpied family in France with records dating back to 16th-century Lorraine. They have no apparent connection to the Channel Island Blampieds, and spell their name with an 'n' rather than an 'm'.

There is also a Blanpied family in the United States, descended from Guernsey-born Elisha Blampied. who emigrated to Ohio sometime before 1820. At some point this family adopted the French spelling.

Postcards

  • 1901 postcard to Miss E Blampied of Les Avenues Trinity. This was Eveline Blampied, youngest child of Charles William and Sophia. Trinity-born Charles (1839- ) farmed at Les Avenues. He married Sophia Louisa Le Boutillier (1844- ) in St Brelade, her home parish, in 1867. At the time he was a carpenter, the son of sailor Richard Josue, and Susanne, nee de Gruchy. The couple were farming 23 vergees at Rue du Nord, Trinity, by 1871, but their first three children, Sophia Louisa (1868- ), Alice (1872- ) and Lilian Alice (1876- ) were baptised in St Brelade. Eveline (1881- ) and her brother John Adolphus (1877- ) were baptised in Trinity.

  • ... Happy birthday from Agnes in 1901, it was her 20th birthday ...

  • ... another card, a year later

  • A card for Miss A Blampied, at La Retraite, Trinity, in 1918. This was Aline, born in the parish in 1879, and still single and living with her mother Amelia at the time of the 1911 census

  • Birthday greetings to Lilian, in Trinity in 1909. She appears to have been born in St John in 1901, the daughter of farmer Charles (1860- ) and Amelia. They were living in St John in 1901, and at Les Avenues in 1911, but presumably elsewhere in Trinity in between.

  • A card sent from France to Laura Blampied in St Mary in 1908. This was probably the 25-year-old daughter of William and Anna

  • A postcard from friends on holiday in Poland, sent to J A Blampied in James Street in 1934. Somebody did not read the very clear address that carefully, because the card travelled via New Jersey
