Contributions de la famille Le Sauteur
à la petite histoire de Jersey
Extracts from Hommage à la famille Le Sauteur
(William Thomas LeSauteur, 1982) and other sources

Apparently William Ernest Le Sauteur sought the hand of Jane Victoria in marriage as a young man, but she refused him because he was addicted to liquor, and chose to marry Charles Rogers. Later when he was widowed, William Ernest proposed for a second time. This time he was accepted on the strict condition that he became teetotal. William (universally loved and known as Uncle Bill), was a delightful character and he kept his promise to Jane religiously, even to refusing brandy when he was dying. William worked in the shipyards as a ships carpenter, presumably those at Le Havre des Pas, and often sailed in the newly-built vessels to Newfoundland to deliver them.
