Guillaume de Carteret-55

Biography

This profile lacks supporting evidence from primary references.

Paynes Armorial of Jersey claims Guillaume was born about 0980, the son of Guillaume de Carteret, and became the Seigneur de Carteret on the death of his father in 1004^[1]. Payne relies on primary sources which cannot be traced in the public domain, so their authenticity must be questioned.

Research Notes

An article in the October 1902 issue of The Ancestor, provides the probable source of early De Carteret ancestry. It states "A great pedigree was drawn out in 1641 and another was entered by Sir George Carteret at the Heralds' College about 1668, the earlier one, which is now in the possession of Mr. Pierre John de Carteret, being accompanied by voluminous notes." ^[2] Such sources are not generally considered reliable.
