Researching family on the Channel Islands can quite difficult. However I believe Jersey may be a bit easier. Family Search is your best bet so you should be able to pick that up on Ancestry.

Erika has found the family on the 1921 census but the Channel Islands are not included in the 1939 index. It is quite possible that you won’t find anything after 1921 and research my have to take place in Jersey.

I believe that somewhere has the ID cards from the German Occupation ( Jersey only) but I can’t remember who.
Www.theislandwiki.org aka jerripedia might point you in some right directions.

If family members were evacuated before the Germans landed you may find them later in the English Electoral rolls.

FMP has Jersey ID cards.

There are 22 people named Auffret listed , and 10 named Ferrand - but not Ernestine.

Nor any of her family, as far as I can see.

EDIT:
But Ernestine died 1936 - see my next post

This site also has Jersey ID cards:
https://catalogue.jerseyheritage.org

It's helpful in that if you search a woman's maiden surname, it will show you her ID card under her married name.

Also other records:

Augustine Ernestine Josephine AUFFRET wife of Henry Henri Auguste FERRAND died 2 January aged 52 years buried 4 January 1936. Minister officiating Rev: Gregory. Undertaker: G Croad Plot 921
