I am looking for the marriage and baptisms relating to this couple in Guernsey from 1851 through to 1860.
Thomas Bishop (wheelwright and widower) can be found living in St Martin, Guernsey in the 1851 census with his daughter, Caroline and two sons, Thomas and James. All are born in Somerset. Also in the residence is a Mary Ann Webb and her son, William.
According to someone else and not substantiated, Thomas married a Cornish girl, Jane Curnow on the 21st July, 1853 in St Andrews Church, St Peter Port. The couple then went on to have at least three children - Amelia Jane (1854 and on FamilySearch), William (1858, no record) and one other daughter (no record) and whose name I cannot find.
Thomas and his family, including his two sons, Thomas and James from an earlier marriage, then came to New Zealand in 1860.
I would vey much appreciate any help that anyone can give with regards to this couple and their children.
Regards
Robyn from New Zealand
