Jean Jaunay 1680-1740
This man and his wife are known by the information recorded on their marriage and death certificates. These events occurred at Francheval. Given we cannot locate a birth certificate for Jean or any records for his parents in Francheval, it seems likely that the family arrived in the parish from an unknown place prior to 1706. Jean is recorded as a domestic servant on his death certificate. He, and his son, Jean Baptiste, are the first in the family recording their surname as Jaunay but this is only evident from 1713.

Jean Baptiste Jaunay 1721-1780
While it is known that Jean Baptiste Jaunay was a retainer for the Prince de Condé surprisingly little else was known about this man for many years. Much of the difficulty in the research seems to stem from the tyranny of distance. Trying to research ancien régime France from Australia with a poor grasp of French makes the task quite difficult!

François Marie Jaunay 1776-1838
The Jaunay family had been associated for a long time with the Princes of Condé for whom they had provided several stewards. Despite François youth, he was only 16 at the start of the French Revolution, he may have been associated with the army established by Prince de Condé in his attempts to restore the French monarchy. It is recorded that the Prince put considerable pressure on his household staff and their families to 'offer' their services to his army of liberation.

Frank Cunningham Jaunay (pictured 1889) 1851-1912
Following his marriage, Frank effectively took control of L Jaunay & Co. It soon became evident that the tide had turned and times were not going to be as generous as they had been. Frank decided to migrate to Australia. The threat of the phylloxera blight may have also helped in this decision!

Frank James Cunningham Jaunay (pictured 1995) 1916-2001
His up-bringing was one of frequent moves that hampered his education. He started working life at unskilled labouring jobs including shearers' rouse-about on many sheep stations in the far north-east of South Australia. His first decent job as a draftsman was interrupted by war.
