George Paulett

George Paulett (1534-1621) was Bailiff of Jersey multiple times during a period from 1583 to 1611 and was temporary Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey.

[1][2] George Paulett was the son of Sir Hugh Paulett, Governor of Jersey, and his wife Philippa Pollard, daughter of Sir Lewis Pollard (1465–1540) and Agnes Hext.

George's older brother was Sir Amias Paulet, Governor of Jersey, and the gaoler for Mary, Queen of Scots.

[3][4] In 1583, he took over the position of Bailiff for Jersey from Jean Dumaresq.

The position of Bailliff was handed back to Jean Dumaresq in 1591 for a period of five years, as Paulett would serve as Lieutenant-Governor in Guernsey.
