Khalidkhoso 21:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC) Not many people know this but, Gen Messervy was born in the island of Trinidad in the British West Indies! he is also the first cousin to Dr Eric Williams the first Prime Minister of an Independant Trinidad and Tobago, he (Messervy) is of French stock, settlers who came to the island before British rule began in 1791.

"Messervy" as a surname appears to be exclusive to the Isle of Jersey. His ancestry is more likely Norman than French (though it is not impossible that a Jerseyman may have moved to France at some poimt). The Jade Knight 01:28, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
