« on: Saturday 30 January 16 21:14 GMT (UK)  »
In my records I have my great, great grandfather, Peter George Ennis married to Frances Goodfellow and their sons were George Peter (my great grandfather) born 1850 and your ancestor Alfred, born 1856.  My grandfather Alfred Edwin Ennis was born 1880. Yes, please do message me your email address.

Best wishes.  Betty

Hi dailyblog4life

Yes I have him born St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands 1880, then the family moved to Poole, Dorset 1891.  He joined the army when he was 15 but stated his age was 18.  I have copies of his record of service (Alfred Edward Ennis) and his number was 4775.   In his possessions was a copy of a map of Peshawar, Kyber Pass, Old City, Afghan and Zaryab Colonys.   I am searching for any  information on what he did and where he went and campaigns while in India.

Hope this is helpful.

Best wishes

Hi Jerseylily

What would I do without you and your research for me.  You have been so very helpful to me in my searching.

I had found James and Elizabeth Le Ray and followed up with their son George 1826 as my ancestor.  He had an interesting career.  Was a Naval Instructor on the 91 gun battleship Victor Emmanuel and his daughter Mary married a Surgeon, Joseph Anderson, trained in Scotland and went to live in Preston, Lancashire.  Mary studied music and their son went to Boarding School at the age of 12.  That son then was honoured in the Navy in the 1900's.  George lived with them in his retirement.  This George was married to Mary De St Croix.  But then I found out I was looking for a Peter and and instead of the father being James 1787, it now went to his brother George 1789.  It all became a little confusing.   But with your  help I do not feel like it is a hopeless case.  In fact I am very enthusiastic about this new "hobby". 
Have a great day.

Hi Trish
Thank you for your interest in the Ennis family.  There are so many Ann's in this family, I think I will have to sit quietly and let it all sink in and then try to sort them out.
With the Stratton sisters, check out the 1861 Census and you will see them living next door to each other - Ennis family and Deslande family with Samuel there also.
Thanks again and good luck with your searching.

Hi Suzard
Peter was born 1828 by the first wife, Ann (Nancy) Sarre, and I now have that she died 1839, and Ann Stratton showed up in the 1841 Census, so George and Ann must have married between 1839 and 1841.  Yes, Abraham was George's son to Ann (Nancy) Sarre and he was born 1822. 
Yes, I had seen that Kezia, Ann and Catherine Stratton were sisters and the father at times lived with each of them.  In the 1861 Census, George Ennis and Ann (Stratton) have Catherine (Stratton) Higgs and James Higgs living with them.  Next door is Philip Deslande and Kezia (Stratton) and the father, Samuel Stratton.  Samuel was in the Army/Navy. Thank you for your input and with the great help of the volunteers I am gradually piecing my history together.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / George Ennis - born St Helier 1789/90
« on: Monday 07 May 12 13:27 BST (UK)  »
George Ennis (61) and Ann Stratton (31) had children (Ann 9, Lingham 8, Elizabeth 6, George 5 mths) in the 1851 Channel Islands Census.  It must have been his second marriage as his previous children were Peter born 1828, Charles Philippe born 1824, Josue born 1825, Jean born 1826.   His wife was Nancy Sarre or Nancy Jane.  But I can find no early records of that marriage or births.  I did see Nancy Sarre married to an Abraham Ennis around the 1820's and that was in the 1941 Channel Islands Census.  Can someone please help.  Thanks also to Jerseylily for what I have so far.

My family tree is Ennis and I have a document from The National Archives where George Ennis (aged 14) is indentured as an apprentice into the Navy.  Witness to the signatures of George and his mother and father is Amelia Lilicrap's signature.  It is dated 5 September 1864.  I thought you might be interested in that fact.  Good luck with your searching.  Bettyve

Thank you so much Jerseylily.  Nancy Jane Sarre is a new name that I  have not come across.  So she must have used Nancy or Ann as her name.   There seems to be a lot of Ennis men with the same name or they change them and it becomes very confusing.  I appreciate your information and input and I will try to do it justice.  Many thanks and take care.  Betty
