Hello Corinne

I've got the marriage details that you wanted but didn't have time to look for Patrick Jnr - it's on my 'to do' list.

Marriage in the chapel of St Peter and St Mary (Roman Catholic) - 22/1/1853

Patrick Mahoney, aged 32, widower, occupation Labourer, living in Sand St, St Helier, born in Waterford, Ireland. Father Michael Mahoney, Labourer
to
Mary Jones, aged 32, widow, living in Sand St., St Helier, born in Waterford, Ireland. Father William Jones, Labourer.

The witnesses were Michael Jones and Bridget McCarthy.

They all signed the register with their marks.

Hi Jersey Lily
Could you also look up Patrick Mahoney born 1859,I have him on 1861,1871 census,the family emigrated to New Zealand 1874 and he was not with them so would like to know if he died.
Parents Patrick and Norah Mahoney.

Thankyou Corinne

Hello Gina

I can't do anything until next week but just to clarify.

Is Benet spelt with one 'n' or do you think the name started out as the very common Jersey name Benest? There are no Benets with that spelling in the current phone book - which could just mean that they haven't got a land line! There are, however, lots of Benests and Bennetts

Also was Harold born over here and do you have either of them on any censuses?

Hi JerseyLily
Could you please look up the marriage of Patrick Mahoney born 1818 Waterford Ireland & Norah Jones born 1828 Waterford Ireland.Married about 1852,1853 St Heliers Jersey.
Patrick's father was Michael Mahoney and Norah's father was William Jones.
Regards Corinne

Nudge for Corinne.

Thank you for looking for me Pam.

I have checked the birth indexes from 1842 (when formal records keeping began here) up to 1850ish and there are no Sherriff births registered at all.

I have also checked through all of the parish baptism records in case the children were baptised but not registered and again nothing.

Sorry not to be more help

Pam

Hi Jerseylily
Thank you for looking
Paula

Thank you for your kind offer,

I am interested to see if their are any SHERRIFFS listed as my GGG Grandmother Sarah Sherriff (1840) is listed as being born in Jersey along with 3 of her brothers, James 1843, John 1846, Thomas 1849...her other siblings are down as being born in Devon.

Sarah's parents are James c1819 (occ: Stone Mason) and Sarah c1821.

Many thanks

Debbie

I've looked through the St Helier baptisms records c1830 and there are no McDowells/McDowalls at all :-(

Hi jerseylily
I wondered if you could have a look for a birth or baptism for an agnes grant raymond mcdowell /mcdowall, she is listed in later census as being born in st helens jersey (which i assume is st helier) in 1830, her father was william mc dowell and mother agnes grant raymond.
Many thanks
Paula

jerseylily,

Will get on to library.

Hello Catherine

The only Channel Island records on line that I know of are St Helier baptisms from about 1842 up until c1900. I may be wrong but I don't think there is anything for Guernsey.

Civil registration for births and deaths did not begin in Guernsey until 1840, marriages in 1919. The Priaulx Library is the main centre for research in Guernsey and they will do research on your behalf.

"A ONE record ‘Look up’ service for £5 (£7.50 outside Europe*)

Only ONE record can be requested. The fee includes a copy of the record, postage, and administration fees. All e-mailed results are charged at the same £5 rate. *Results delivered electronically by e-mail outside Europe will also be charged at £5.

If a ‘look-up’ proves to be more complicated that first appearance, clients may be requested to pay a higher research fee, but this is not likely to occur in most circumstances.

To request a ‘look-up’, please contact staff on [email protected], or telephone (01481) 721998."

If you have more than one Guernsey look up it might be worth investigating the Guernsey Family History Society who used to do look ups for small donations.

If you find your research straying into Jersey give me a shout and I can do the 'look up'.

Hi jerseylily,
are channel island bmd's available on line anywhere?
I need to find a Guernsey birth and wont be able to visit record office for some time.
Do you know if certs can be ordered online?

Thank you

Cath

Thank you so much.

Hello Christine

I can't find them in 1851 either, certainly not in Jersey. I'm working at the Archive this Tues morning so I'll see if I can find anything then.
I see from the 1841 that they were living in the parish of St Martin and those parish records are particulary good so you may be in luck.

Hi Jerseylily,

Thank you for your kind offer.

I have William Hardy and his Wife Mary (nee Mayne) on Jersey during the 1841 census, they are originally from Dorset (I think), he is a carpenter and they are between 20-25 years old. They have a daughter Emily (Emilie) aged 1-2 who was born in Weymouth Dorset.

I can't find them on the 1851 census and on the 1861 census only Emily, married to James Goodridge and living in Hampshire.

Are there any records on Jersey for this family ..... another child, death etc.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Christine

nudging for Michael.
