Ferdinand Brock Tupper (1795 – 1874), was one of the leading historians of the Channel Islands.

He was born in Guernsey in 1795 to parents John Elisha Tupper, Esquire (shipowner and merchant from Les Cotils and Carrefour in Guernsey) and Elizabeth Brock (1767-1847), sister of Sir Isaac Brock.

In 1845 he published The Life and Correspondence of Sir Isaac Brock, KB, which contains a wealth of information on General Brock and the War of 1812. After a near-mutiny at Fort George, it was Tupper who reported by letter on the courts-martial (and subsequent executions of several) of the accused to Brock, and evidently corresponded with the general until the latter's death at the Battle of Queenston Heights.

He went on to publish Chronicles of Castle Cornet with details of its nine years siege during the civil wars, and frequent notices of the Channel Islands in 1851 and History of Guernsey and its Bailiwick; with occasional notices of Jersey in 1854. The latter remained the definitive reference work on the History of Guernsey until the publication of History of the Bailiwick of Guernsey by James Marr in 1982.

He married Mary Ann Herbert, and they had two daughters, Henrietta and Emilia.

He died in 1874 leaving his eldest daughter, Henrietta, as his literary executrix.

According to Henry Nicholas Paint, Point Tupper, Nova Scotia is named after him.[1]

The Tupper family originally came from Hesse in Germany. They were Calvanists

and were fleeing religious persecution. Nevertheless they brought a fair

amount of their wealth with them and quickly integrated into Guernsey society,

marrying into most of the leading families, including the Brocks.

John Elisha Tupper (1764-1845) was the son of Jurat Elisha Tupper and

Margaret Tupper (they were first cousins). John Elisha married Elizabeth

Brock, the daughter of John Brock (1729-1777) and Elizabeth de Lisle. In

addition to Elizabeth John Brock had three other children:

Daniel De Lisle Brock (1762-1842) became Bailiff

of Guernsey in 1821. He was a successful champion of the Island's rights and

privileges and hugely popular.

Maj. Gen Sir Isaac Brock was one of the few

British heroes of the War of 1812. As Governor of Upper Canada he captured

Detroit from a superior American force under Gen. Hull and fell at the Battle

of Queenston Heights near Niagara Falls repelling the last serious American

attempt to drive the British from Canada. If you haven't seen it there is an

impressive monument topped by his statue near the place where he fell.

Lt. Col John Brock, another member of the family

killed in battle (1792).

John Elisha and Elizabeth had several children of their own:

John Elisha was drowned in the Mediterranean

around 1812

Charles James was drowned off Spithead in 1815

William Elisha was killed by pirates off Crete in

1826

William De Vic was killed in Chile by Indians

in1830

Henrietta

Ferdinand Brock Tupper (1795-1874) and

Jurat Henry Tupper (1809-1875)

Ferdinand married Mary Herbert and they had a daughter Henrietta. I have no

record of Henry having married. Henry was instrumental in launching a number

of projects that still exist in Guernsey today, including the New Harbour (the

Island's first deepwater port) and Les Hanois Lighthouse off the SW tip of the

Island. A model of the lighthouse was presented to the family to commemorate

the event. Henry lived at Les Cotils, a house he rebuilt overlooking St Peter

Port Harbour. In 1904 it passed into the ownership of an Order of Nuns: Les

Soeurs de la Presentation, who ran it as a nursing home for the elderly. (My

own Grand Mother died in their care at the house). Given the Tupper's

religious origins they eventually became more catholic than the Pope, becoming

members of the congregation of St Stephen's Church; Guernsey's High Church

Anglican congregation. I too attended there and can remember some of the last

of the Tuppers. (I think, but am not absolutely certain, that the male line

eventually ran out. Certainly the then family home was bequeathed to St

Stephen's, which suggests there were no close heirs.

I can produce a fair bit more on both the Tuppers and the Brocks if you wish

(together with details of some of the other families into whom they married.
