Origin of Surname
The name is recorded in the Assize Roll of 1309 and two Anthoines appear in the Jersey Chantry Certificate of 1550. The name is derived from the forename Anthoine.
J Bertrand Payne (see below) suggested that the first Anthoines arrived in Jersey in the latter part of the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). This is one of more and more references in his work which are being found to be inaccurate.
There were Anthoines recorded in 1309, 1402 and 1528, all of them before Elizabeth was born in 1533; there was a marriage in 1544, long before she came to the throne, and four others before she died in 1603; and there are 17 baptism records and 13 burials which predate her death. Two of the family trees below start in Jersey in the early 15th century, and the four others all predate what might be called the 'latter part of the reign' of Elizabeth. The link by marriage of the Anthoine and Falle families alluded to by Payne was over a century before historian Philippe Falle was born. It would appear that the whole of Payne's armorial entry can be disregarded.

Tips
The church record links above will open in a new tab in your browser and generate the most up-to-date list of each set of records from our database. These lists replace earlier Family page baptism lists, which were not regularly updated. They have the added advantage that they produce a chronological listing for the family name in all parishes, so you do not have to search through A-Z indexes, parish by parish.
We have included some important spelling variants on some family pages, but it may be worth searching for records for a different spelling variant. Think of searching for variants with or without a prefix, such as Le or De. To search for further variants, or for any other family name, just click on the appropriate link below for the first letter of the family name, and a new tab will open, giving you the option to choose baptism, marriage or burial records. You will then see a list of available names for that type of record and you can select any name from that list. That will display all records of the chosen type for that family name, and you can narrow the search by adding a given name, selecting a parish or setting start and end dates in the form you will see above. You can also change the family name, or search for a partial name if you are not certain of the spelling
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.
New records
Since August 2020 we have added several thousand new records from the registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These will appear in date order within a general search of the records and are also individually searchable within the database search form
