Name John Bosdet Le Roy [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Born 1791 St Sampson, Guernsey, Channel Islands [1, 3, 5] Gender Male Birth 1796 [2] Died Bef Apr 1871 [6] Notes - J. B. Le Roy had his own business in Guernsey, and was listed in various documents as a “merchantâ€. It is known, however, that he sold mainly marine and navigational instruments. At some time after 1830 the family moved to St. Helier, Jersey, (British Channel Islands).
In Jersey J. B. Le Roy resumed his trade as a “merchantâ€, dealing mainly in nautical instruments, from a shop at 15 Mulcaster Street, St. Helier, Jersey.
The only items bearing the “signature†of J. B. Le Roy believed still extant are one octant bearing the inscription “J. B. Le Roy - Guernseyâ€, two octants marked “J. B. Le Roy - Jerseyâ€, two telescopes, one barometer and this one compass, all signed “J. B. Le Roy - Jerseyâ€
J. B. Le Roy was a Freemason in Guernsey and became an eminent Freemason in Jersey, which explains the Freemasonry insignia beneath the north mark on this compass, a mark that does not appear on any of the other instruments signed by him and still extant.
