Families associated with the property

• Le Boutillier: This family appears to have owned the property for some considerable time. In addition to the datestone below, there are records of Le Boutilliers living here up to 1959, when spinster Florence Ellen Le Boutillier's (1888- ) will was registered, and four years later when her younger brother, Hedley John's (1897- ) will was registered ^[1]

In 1901 farmer Adolphus Carcaud Le Boutillier (1863- ) and his wife Ellen Mary, nee Syvret (1864- ) were living here with their daughter Florence (1889- ) and sons Clarence (1891- ) and Hedley (1898- )

Datestones

• GLBT 1770 - For George Le Boutillier, one of five successive generations of this name to live here. The property is wrongly identified as Elmwood in the Datestone Register ^[2]
• A.C.LBTL - A later Le Boutillier stone

Notes and references

1. ↑ Florence and Hedley were two of five children of Adolphus Carcaud Le Boutillier and Ellen Mary, nee Syvret. We have now been able to confirm their ancestry and a new branch has been added to Descendants of Aaron Le Boutillier
2. ↑ Although this George is probably linked to Descendants of Aaron Le Boutillier, we have been unable to establish exactly how. Unless there are church records missing, the only George who could match the stone would have been born in 1765, the son of Aaron. However, Aaron was still alive in 1770 so it is difficult to understand why a stone would have been erected for his five-year-old son
