Jean Thoumine was David’s brother. 

 

By the 1727 Livre de Perchage Jean was 'de la Troussaillerie au Valle'.  However by 1730 & two marriages (the first in Sark when he was 17) he was dead.

 

Whether his first son Jean died before 1769 together with his children is not know, but in the 1769 Livre, his second son Thomas held La Troussaillerie.

 

Thomas had married in April 1742, Marie Roberge, whose parents had died in the epidemic leaving Marie as the eldest of five children.  One supposes this was a good move for Thomas to help out

this unfortunate girl having to bring up her siblings.

Her brother Pierre of course inherited most of their parents property but Marie’s share of several vergées came into the Thoumine family.  Her brother Pierre married Thomas’ sister Elizabeth in 1748.

 

Rachel Roberge, their sister, died in 1758 age 25.  The entry in the burial register reads

“ qui par demanie se branla dans la maison de Thomas Thoumine la justice a declare le fait job feu de ministre du valee” (found hanged)

 

There are two lines from which all the present-day Guernsey Thoumines descend from.  One which came from France in the middle of the 19th century and the other being the descendants of Thomas. 

It was his grandchildren who left the parish for St Sampson’s & St Peter Port in the nineteenth century.

 

His son David, 1757-1842, former Douzainier, died in the Country Hospital – a quarryman, ‘of La Troussaillerie’.
