Find Ancestors

I’m trying to trace this lady. She was born in 1903 in Neufchâtel in Switzerland. After the war she moved to Jersey, and she was registered there by 1923.
She married a man surnamed Carrel from Jersey. Not sure when they married.
Any ideas where I could find out more information about her and her parents?
Thank you

Those records might refer to this person

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/127881287/genevieve-rose-carroll

If the information given is correct, this person's maiden name was ROSE

So, as passenger list shows she is travelling with a Charles Carrel so looks like the other family in the States is probably not her.

Name: Rose Genevieve Carrel
Maiden Name: Bequin
Birth Date: 6 Apr 1903
Registration Date: 23 Jan 1944
Residence Place: Anneville Farm, Gorey, St Martin, Jersey, Channel Islands
Description: Registration Card of Rose Genevieve Carrel, née Beqin, of Anneville Farm, Gorey, St Martin, born 06/04/1903

this shows her address in Jersey was Anneville Farm, Gorey so the travel document is her going to Canada

That sounds like her. Brilliant!
So does that mean she visited Canada, in which case Edwin is some relation?
Thanks Catherine and Gwyn

Not online yet, but her below...

Edits (Beghin, might be another variant of Surname)

Edwin Walter Carroll's wife Genevieve is NOT your Rose.

A tree on Ancestry shows the image of his 1941 marriage cert.
As Gwyn has said, Edwin's wife's maiden surname was Rose.

She was Genevieve Lewis Rose, father William L Rose, birthplace Madison county.

However, I don't see her birth on FamilySearch.

That’s helpful too Chris. Thanks.
I think the Carroll lead isn’t any connection. Thank you anyway.

Apparently Rose Genevieve and Charles Carrel went to Canada to emigrate, but she was kicked by a horse which lead to gangrene and they returned to Jersey for treatment and stayed there.

I wonder if you have any ideas how I could trace Rose Genevieve and her family in Switzerland before she moved to Jersey?

If you contact on below, they might be able to help with the 1903 Methodist Church reference...

No I tried Family Search, Argyll Gran, and didn’t find her either.
Thanks Chris I’m pursuing that line, but really it’s the time before she came to Jersey and married, and her parents and siblings I’m trying to trace.
Of course much was disrupted and destroyed by the war so it may not be possible to find her parents.
There are lots of Beguins in Neuchatel but I can’t find a link to Rose Genevieve amongst them
I know you’re all much better at finding things than me, as you’ve already proved, so that’s why I’m asking for your help.
:-)

As it refers to a publication 1903, might be a notice, Birth/Baptism...if you're trying to find names of her Parents...

Chris :)

Thanks Chris and Catherine. I am trying to find the marriage certificate for Charles and Rose as it may mention Rose’s parents. They both spoke French as Charles was a native of Jersey.
The Carrel family line has been fairly easy to find through Jersey Records, but it’s the Beguin line that’s hard to find. I have nothing on Rose’s family at all.
Thanks for all your efforts to date though.
Any other ideas?

I've been looking for a marriage record, but no luck so far, sorry.

If you go to this site:-

https://catalogue.jerseyheritage.org/collection/Details/archive/110172865

you can buy a copy of Rose's Aliens registration card . It will cost £5.00 but it will give you her photo and it may give you the date of when she arrived in Jersey.

Aliens Restrictions Act. On 17th February 1920 the States of Jersey enacted the principles of the 1914 English Aliens Restrictions Act. Under the law all aliens over the age of sixteen resident in Jersey has to register with the Immigration Officer. Every alien in the Island had to register, no matter how old they were or how long they had been living in Jersey.

you can also check this out, from the same web site:-

I've had a look at the distorted copy and I think it is her marriage. I can make out Married on and the date of March 27th and the name Charles Alfred son of

and a few other bits but best make a request to see it properly.
