Hi Melissa,

I know this reply is over a year removed from when you posted, but I have to ask, have you had any success locating records of Peter, Stephen, or Zacharias in the Channel Islands? My mother and I have been working on tracing my husband's family tree and this is where we have come up against a road block.

Any insights you could reply would be greatly appreciated. :)

Sorry for the slow reply. Sorry, I don't have anything to add to what you already know about these 3 Sacrey brothers. I wish I did, but that's where my info stopped as well.
Good luck with it.

I am working on this family as well.

I am also under the impression that William died young, as his wife Mary Jane Haines/Hynes remarried 4 years later to Joseph Raison/Rason.


The George Sacrey living with the Raison family in the Coney Arm census is a son of Mrs. Raison from her first marriage.


Jane Hynes was a sister to Druscilla Hynes.

I have most of the Coney Arm families all sortted out.

William Sacreys sister Jane, also married a Hynes. Married Henry Hynes/Haines. A brother to Mary Jane Hynes

According to the book of Newfoundland names by e. seary
I think: Thomas and John Sacrey
An Anglicization of the surname of France and Jersey (Channel Islands) Sacre, that is Consacre - consecrated, a nickname for Priest. (Douzat)
in Nfld:
Family tradition: two sacre brothers from Germany (Channel Islands) came to Harbour Grace; one brother settled there and the other moved to Twillingate Island. The surname was later spelled Sacrey (MUN folklore). Early instances: Thomas Sacrey of Leading Tickles, 1850, of Black Island (Twillingate District) 1851 (DPHW 86) 1867. John Sacrey of Harbour Grace 1867 (NL Archives HGRC) 1867. Thomas, miner of Tilt Cove, (1871) Lovell. Modern status: scattered, especially at Pacquet, WB

Thanks for this info. I also have found that the Sacrey name originated from the Channel Islands. From what I can tell, it looks like there were 3 Sacrey brothers who came from the Islands and settled in the Harbour Grace area. Their names were Zacharias (m. Elizabeth ?), Peter (m.Ann ?), and Stephen (m. Rebecca Sharpe). The info I have shows their children being born in Bryant's Cove, however, by the 1921 census, there are no Sacrey's listed as living there. So I am unsure how accurate this really is. If anyone can verify or disprove any of this, I would love to read your input.

Zacharias' son Thomas was the one who moved and settled in Northeast Pacquet (just called "Pacquet" today). The Sacrey name is still very common in this area, and as far as I can tell, every Sacrey in the area today is a descendant of Thomas.
