  Text	These pages are devoted to the Jesty family of Dorset, England, from the earliest definite names and dates we know, in the mid-1600s, to the early 1900s, and in some branches to the present time. The tree started with a vast amount of material from Vera Jesty of Waddock, Dorset, and has expanded with contributions from many others and from searches of material that is now online. It is a joint effort of Vera and me. With two main exceptions, which run fairly completely to the present, the focus is the pre-1900 core of the family. More than 95% of all Jestys in the British 1881 census are accounted for, and more than 90% of the 1901 census. At present we have over 800 names (including Jesty wives of course, plus a small number of daughter lines). It is published here not only as a resource but also--we hope--as a publicity tool for filling gaps and getting, and posting, information about other shoots and branches of the family.

• Notes

  Sources The major sources of the tree pages are Vera Jesty's several trees, derived from years of work in the county records offices of Dorset and Somerset, parish records, wills, gravestones, and newspaper records. Another source, for the lower half of George and Adelaide's tree, is the Family History Society, who (we think) are the ones who produced a tree for Norman Sheldon Wright, of that line. Another, for the recent generations of Wm Ainsworth's line, is Margaret (Jesty) Asquith of Edmonton, Alberta, of that line. A major source for the Yetminster-Yeovil sheet is Pat Ricketts of Yeovil. More recently, I have used online censuses that are available on the Internet: the UK and US censuses of 1881 from the Mormon Church site, www.familysearch.org <http://www.familysearch.org/>; and the UK 1901 census site, www.census.pro.gov.uk <http://www.census.pro.gov.uk/>. (The Canadian 1881 census is also available from the familysearch site, but has no Jestys.) The UK births-marriages-deaths (BMD) index is online (only the index: not the full records), and I have complete English Jesty birth entries from 1837 (the start of the national records) to 1880 or so. I have also checked a few specific marriages from the same source. I think it reasonable to assume that from the 1840s that index is pretty reliable (though sometimes a bit illegible in the pre-typewriter years). And the Societe Jersiaise of St Helier, Jersey, checked for me the 1861 and 1871 Jersey censuses (among other things, looking for a record of Capt George Jesty).
