Were the links and suggestions provided by DetEcTive any help?

No record of a marriage for Richard Buckley on the FIBIS site Banns of Marriage 1849-1924

Thank you for your help but I think it is time to call it a day!

Hazel, in this thread and the other that ArgyllGran linked to, you don't give any details of what you know and what you want to find out, so it is unlikely anyone can help. It is even more unlikely that anyone related will ever see your message here.

You haven't said anything about what the connection with St Helena is, in particular.

My ancestor's sister's widowed husband and his second wife apparently settled in St Helena in the early 1890s. I was fortunate to find a mention in an English newspaper about his impending departure and the position he was taking up there, since he had some public standing. I have meant to contact the archivist in St Helena for more info, and I have recently looked into St Helena newspapers, but I haven't got around to doing either one. I suppose now would be a good time ...

This is information about newspapers in St Helena, past and present:

This is the Archives, which will do research for a fee:

Your other thread refers to Richard Buckley who marreid Eliza John "about 1880". ErikaH found no marriage in St Helena, and they apparently also didn't marry in England/Wales:

(unless there has been a mistranscription so that their names do not appear together in the transcribed marriage records, but there were too many marriages of each name for me to hunt for that possibility)

There were banns and presumably a marriage in St Helena in 1889 of Samuel Parker Young and Martha Louise Taylor. We have no way of knowing whether they are who you are looking for.

The names you mention -- Richard Buckley, Eliza John (and their children) and Samuel Young are in your tree here, but with apparently no matches.

There are possibly useful resources here:

I'm going to go have a poke around for what I'm looking for, so if you have more details to provide, maybe someone could help further.

Calling it a day makes sense only if one has exhausted the avenues or research! -- and there are new avenues becoming available every year. I do recommend contacting the island archives.

Thanks all for the interest . I am not very good at new technology. I started this ten years ago and got no further so Iam probably not using it correctly.. Our family is descendant from the Island and we got back to 1795 but it stops there.
