FRENCH/AMBREO where were they then?

[Hill]

Hi

I can confirm that there is an index entry for the death of EMA in "St Helier Deaths, Feb 1853 to Sep 1854 on page 66".

The marriage of JGQF has been more difficult to find. I can find a marriage for a Joseph French (no middle names) in the index "St Saviour Marriages, Apr 1850 to Mar 1853 on page 31". There is an Ann on the same page. That was the only JF between 1842 and 1861.

Finally, the bankruptcy for JWF looks to be your JWF! He was declared bankrupt by act on 28th April 1848 by Hugh Godfray. I have read the document (which is in French) but it doesn't hold any useful information. This is possibly why he decided to emigrate.

Hope that helps.

PS Have you seen that two people in Australia are also listed on Rootsweb.com as searching for information on John Henry French? Perhaps they are you!
