  Notes	It's unclear whether this is one family or two. The eldest two children were baptised at Grouville, children of François Goslin and Jeanne Kelly his wife. The last child was baptised in St Saviour, the daughter of François Joslin and Jeanne Melet his wife. The difference in spelling of the father's name seems inconsequential, as all three children are spelt Josselin on their own marriages at St Helier. They are the only three Goslin / Gosselin / Joslin / Josselin children baptised in Jersey between 1710 and 1808, and the dates of birth form a neat sequence consistent with them being a single family: 1794, '96 and '99. Furthermore, the children acted as godparents to each other's children, suggesting they were all related. It seems much more likely than not that the father François is the same man, and on balance probably they share the same mother too, and one or both of Kelly and Melet is a misrendering. A similarly improbable misrendering of a surname occurs in their eldest daughter Jeanne's family: her second marriage record names her husband Canning, but in fact he was a Kelling.
