Microfilm from the London Free Press gave us some obituaries and history. A great deal of information came to us from the records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Genealogical Library in Toronto. They have detailed records of births, deaths and marriages from many countries there, or at their head office in Salt Lake City, Utah. One lead which we have been unable to follow up is Boyd's Marriage Register which would give complete names and marriage dates of our ancestors in England. Also we received information from the History of the Janes-Peek Family by Dr. Reba N. Collins, 1975. For our search of family records in the Taunton Registry office, Somersetshire, England, we relied upon the work of Miss Pat Lewis of Cot Orchard, Stewley, Illminster, Somersetshire, England. She might have gone back further, but with the names JANES and JONES being written in almost the same manner in the mid-1700s, the search would have been more difficult, more costly, and much more confusing. We have discovered that even in our Canadian records the name spelling changes. For example, the crown grant in Lambton County was given to CHARLES JONES (CHARLES MEREDITH JANES). However our records have been cross-checked by date to make them as accurate as possible. page 4: It is thought the name originally came from the French DE JEAN or DE JEANNE, being anglicized by dropping the DE. Sometimes the name was spelled JEANES, other times JANES. It was pronounced the same way. One branch changed the spelling to JEANS; another made it JAYNES. Because old documents were hand-written and often difficult to read, it has been difficult for historians to transcribe correctly. In addition to the JANES who immigrated from England, several others from various countries now use the name. There are JANES from Germany, from Austria (originally JANESCH), from Croatia, from Bohemia. From Spain the original spelling was YANES; from Greece JANOS or JANUS. The Polish JANECEK and JANISZEWSKI have also been shortened to JANES. What connection, if any, these families have to our Janes, is unknown (se Collins book). page 5: One romantic origin of the JANES name is as follows. According to The Janes Family History by Rev. Frederic Janes, published by Scribner & Co. in 1868, some American Janes' are said to be descendants of GUIDO DE JANES, a general of the French Confederacy who accompanied Henry II to England in 1154. For his valor and service, this Janes received from the King the manor of Kirtland or Kirtling in Cambridgeshire. Some of these estates were still in the family name in the mid-1800s. A grandson of general Janes, GEOFFRY DE JANES took up arms with Baldwin, Count of Flanders, about 1200-1204, helping pave the way for Baldwin to become King of Jerusalem. GEOFFRY DE JANES returned to England, then with his son GUY or GUIDO DE JANES, made three pilgrimages to the Holy Land. The escallop shells on the coat of arms commemorate those events. Links between these military DE JANES and our JANES are not known. page 5: A coat of arms of the Janes family is described as follows: arms -- argent or white; a lion rampant - azure blue between 3 escallop shells, gules (red). crest -- out of a ducal coronet (crown) gold a demi-lion rampant azure -- holding between the paws an escallop shell, gules. The lion rampant in the arms shows that the ancestor had won a battle while in command of the forces engaged. The escallop shells show that he had made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The ducal coronet was given to those who held command in the armies of the sovereign duke of the French Confederation. Gules is for fortitude, creative power; azure is loyalty or splendour; argent is serenity or nobility. Whether this is the coat of arms of our Janes family is unknown. Additional information (1986): The surname Janes appears patronymical (Father's name). It is associated with the English -- meaning descendant of Jah, a pet form of John, meaning gracious gift of Jehovah. There are 314 Janes listed in Newfoundland and 244 in Ontario, but none in Prince Edward Island. Variations of the name are Jane, Jannis, Jan, Jans, Jaine, Jayne, Janyes, Jeynes, Janyn, Johns.
