FIAT JUSTITIA - Let Justice be Done
Hi Everyone,
This site has been created so our friends and family can download information that I and other family members have gathered about the Jerrard family genealogy. Keep checking back for updates and more information on the Jerrard family. I have made extensive upgrades to the Genealogy site including new information as of (Apr. 2012)
Tom Jerrard, Stratford, Ontario, Canada. Contact email: Tom Jerrard
History
The Jerrard family of Canada hails from Chideock, Dorset, England in more modern times and before that extending back to the 1200s from Sandford Orcas, Somerset and the Chalk region of Wiltshire.
A branch of the Sandford Orcas family resided in London in the early 1600s and later in the 1800s we again see the London Jerrards. A part of this branch relocated to South Africa in the late 1800s.
Father's Side - Jerrard Family
There are two books written about the Jerrard family of Sandford Orcas/Chideock found on the Jerrard book page. This link "Three Brothers" is an extract from my Year 2000 Jerrard Book of the Canada Jerrard family. This link for the Year 2000 Book. This link for the original Jerrard Book written in 1912.
It is with great sadness that I have to advise that my brother Dr. Robert James Jerrard passed away in December 2008 after a 2 year battle against colon cancer.
Mother's Side - Turnbull Family
I now have a more complete picture of my family back through my mother; Catherine Grace TURNBULL. She was born in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada and married my father William Jerrard. Grace passed away on 06 November 2009, she will be missed!
I have been able to trace a large number of the Turnbull family back to their arrival in Canada as Irish and Scottish emigrants, almost one hundred years prior to the arrival of my Grandfather Jerrard.
The Turnbull Family section includes info/data for related families; Shillinglaw, Cole, Cowie, McDonald, Jackson, Bryce, Taylor, Milliken, Lorraine and Carruthers.
Wife's Side - Campbell Family
My wife was born Ann Elizabeth CAMPBELL and has roots in Lambton County, Ontario, Canada. Her family arrived in Canada in the early 1800s as Irish/Scottish emigrants. The Campbells' lived in the same area as the Cole, Cowie and Steed families some of whom I have recorded in the Turnbull section. Other family names are Patterson, Thurston, Willougby, Carnaghan, Dent, McPhedran, McElroy, McGlashan, Neil and Taylor.
Of note is the inter-relationship of the Turnbull - Steed/Cole/McPhedran - Campbell families in the Sarnia/Lampton area.
Damerham, Fordingbridge, Stratford St Anthony Family
Another Jerrard Family resided in the Damerham, Fordingbridge and Stratford St Anthony (Stratford Tony) Wiltshire area. This family has many members and it is intriging that this area is within a few miles of Broad Chalk an area associtated with the Sampford Orcas, Hyde, Friar Maine Families. Since my first contact with this family was through an Australian connection I place the related info in the Australian section. As yet this family has NOT been connected to any one of my main interests on this website.
