Can anyone do a look up in United States federal census for a Scottish family who I believe emigrated to New York around 1923? Sarah Ballantine Angus (m.s.Smith) and David Angus. They were both born in 1897 in Scotland and married in 1922 in Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. I have a vital record for a son born to them in Tillicoultry in 1923, Scotland. After this no BMD in Scotland or UK. For any of them. 1925 1930 and 1940, US Federal census show a match for their criteria in Bronx New York and latterly Queens, New York, unfortunately I only have basic viewing subscription and am not sure if they are family in question? Sarah B Angus, and David Angus and David Angus jnr also appear on passenger lists for New York but cannot view them either. Wonder if anyone can help me pin point them please? Or can tell me the ship they may have sailed in and any relevant information on their lives once they arrived there. David Angus was a bricklayer to trade. Thanks C
This will is held at the Jersey Archive, your relative should be able to get a copy from them.

Make sure she knows that the Archive is only open Tues, Wed and Thurs and that she will need some form of photographic ID if she wants to look at original documents. It usually takes a week for them to process a copy so it may be easier (and cheaper) for her to order a copy on-line to be collected when she is there.
In fact I suggest you check out the Archive website www..jerseyheritage.org/ as there are several entries relating to your family. Use the advanced search option and enter surname first, comma, space, christian name. Clicking the binoculars beside the name will bring up a list.
PS What have you done with the weather over here? We flew across the world to get away from the rain.

There are 12 parishes in Jersey, each has it's own graveyard but you would need to contact each parish individually re their records. In St Helier, the capital, burials where originally in the Town Church yard and Green Street cemetery, when they were full new cemeteries were opened - Almorah and Mont a l'Abbe. St Helier church and Green Street records are sketchy but both Almorah and Mont a l'Abbe have been indexed (indexes at the Archive). The burial records for St Clement's parish church are on-line.
In addition to those mentioned there are various other smaller cemeteries dotted around the island. A good source for burials are the funeral directors records many of which have been deposited at the Archive and are gradually being indexed.
Bear in mind that Picot is a very common name and that our ancestors had no imagination when it came to Christian names hence lots of Johns, Williams, Georges, Elizabeths and Janes.
I am away from the island at the moment but may be able to do a bit of digging on your behalf when I return in April.
Looking for links to the following family members.

Are you certain Captain George Picot died before 1847?? Do you mean he died before 1947?
