Hi,
I have been tracing my family tree for a little while and I have a number of Batiste's on my grandmothers family.
They moved from the Channel Islands and moved to Barrow in Furness Lancashire, but I have no idea what would make them move so far.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions how I can find out?
Sorry if I haven't given enough info...if you need more please ask (still finding my feet!!).
Thank you!

Hi
If I had lived in Barrow and given an opportunity to live in the Channel Isles I would take it but not the other way around !!!!! ;)
Maybe there were job opportunities back then that tempted them?
If you post their names and as much detail as you have we may able to help out

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Ok the names are -
Father -Daniel Batiste Born 1830 Guernsey
Mother - Margaret Honguez Born 1836 Alderney
Son - Issac Batiste Born 1868 Alderney
Son - Nicolas Batiste Born 1870 Alderney
Son - Daniel Batiste Born 1858 Alderney
Daughter - Charlotte Batiste Born 1880 Barrow in Furness
I know that they were involved in the shipyard...but it still seems like a long way to move.
Any help would be welcomed! Thank you!

this could have been Daniel /Margarets child who is Not on the 1881 census ..young Daniel is 23 , so Margaret could well be away from home

ADDED...was Daniel b 1830 born in St Saviour , Guernsey ?...if so , his brother Isaac is a Farmer....could well be Jersey Dairy Cow farmers...allan

Well found Dotty.....looks like a lost sister to me - what do you think ?....allan ???

I think it will be and I bet the family moved because there would be plenty of work in Barrow especially for joinery.

Barrow in Furness was a victorian New Town, built around the steel works and shipyard from the late 1850s onward.
Building a whole town requires a lot of tradesmen, so there would have been work for a joiner in the town as well as at Vickers. There were 32 dwellings in 1845, and a population of 47000 by 1881. Someone had to build all that accommodation. News and descriptions of the place would be widespread among the seafaring community, even in Alderney.
My ggg gf, last of a line of stonemasons, moved there from the Whitehaven area about 1860.

WOW!
Thank you all so much for your help. :)

Sorry I forgot to say ...Daniel Batiste was born in Saint Saviours...so I will have to find out more about his family.
Thanks again
