N/n Robilliard

There are Jersey records for Robillard in 1607 and Robilliard as early as 1528, but these families appear to have died out. The 1528 entry predates any Huguenot refutees, suggesting that someone of that name moved to Jersey from France before the time of religious persecution.

The name is next found in Guernsey in 1739, but it does not appear in Jersey baptism records until 1814. The 19th century immigrants to the island came from Guernsey and not direct from France. Four sons of Jacques Robilliard and Marie Hill (see tree below) came to Jersey from Guernsey during the first half of the 19th century, and eventually some members of the family emigrated to Australia at different times, settling and expanding the family there.
