VALPY - Jeffreys
The Valpy family moved to Dunedin from India in 1848 on the advice of Doctors, for the health of Judge William Henry VALPY.
The extended Valpy and Jeffreys families lived all in New Zealand, Australia, and India keeping close contact with one another. Older Valpy ancestors lived in Jersey in the Channel Islands for generations and we have many records of the families there, in India and in England. VALPY is a rare surname of unknown origin - probably French.
