Hello JerseyLily 

Yes, you confirmed that Albert's father was William John Lock and that Albert was born in St Sampson, Guernsey 1908/09 (from his marriage certificate to Doreen).

The Bertie I have found on the 1911 Jersey census is noted as being born in Vale, Guernsey 1908 (family seem to have been living in St Sampson's though around the time Bertie would have been born, I believe Vale boarders St Sampson?) and seeing as his father's name was William, it's a promising match.

Problem is that there were at least another 2 William Lock's (born Guernsey & England) floating around the Islands around the same time (one particularly suspicious due having children the same names as my father & 2 of his siblings). Lock seems to have been a difficult name to transcribe correctly, especially the L and the K, so not sure if I've located them all.

Would be really great if I could eliminate the other Williams, thought I could do this by Agnes's Father's name being confirmed as William John (plus the added bonus of Catherine's maiden name).

As always, appreciate your help.

Thank you so much, you have again been very helpful and I really appreciate all your help and time.

I was hoping to claim all the Leat's from the Jersey census up until 1891, in my tree but there seems to have been at least one other family there prior to mine arriving.

 

Hello again, this time I'm looking for some information if possible please on the Halkett Place Le Breton's, occupation: paper hangers.

The ancestry tree matches aren't helping, the information differs. The information below is just what I have established so far via the census information and online baptism records plus info on Charlotte from my existing tree.

Thomas Le Breton born c1801.
Mary ? born c1801.
Children: Thomas c1828, Mary c1831, Alfred c1838, Albert c1840

Thomas Le Breton c1828 St Helier, Jersey.
Charlotte Leat c1832, Ringwood, Hampshire, England.
Child: Thomas Blackler Le Breton (28 Oct 1856, St Helier, Jersey)

I have followed Thomas (c1828) and his siblings, parents (until they died) on the 1841 through to 1891 census's

I cannot locate Thomas Blackler Le Breton on any of the census. He is not residing with his parents Thomas & Charlotte as expected in 1861, I assume he might have died prior (between Oct 1856-1861). I don't think they had any other children.

In 1871, Thomas is residing back at Halkett Place but Charlotte is missing, Thomas' status is still married, then in 1881, noted as widowed.

Also, I am hoping that Thomas (born c1801) parents were Thomas Le Breton & Elizabeth Mauger ? if so, I think I'm in luck as there seems to be a lot of information available for them.

Thank you.

I've entered all the wonderful information into my tree that you've provided so far.

My little tree is evening up!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate all your help.
