Hi
My great grandmother Augustus Francis Helleur was the daughter of Francis Helleur and Mary Jane Connolly.
Mary remarried after Francis died , and migrated to NZ. On the Scimitar 1874
My records only note 2daughters , Linda mentions 3 , I'd be interested on more detail there.
My family story is Francis Helleur died st sea of scurvey. But that's all the info I have, I do have a photo of him.
Marys parents were Francis Connolly and Mary de St Croix. If anyone has more details on them, I'd appreciate it.
Also they migrated to Australia, if anyone can help re ship , date or destination?
Thanks Rob

Hi there. I might be able to help you with this one.
I two am a direct descendent of Francis & Esther Helleur (nee Amy) through their son Francis Helleur born 1837. Esther had a brother Philip Amy. Their parents were Phillip Amy and Esther Carrel, the Carrel's were fron Normandy France. Philip and Esther had three children Anne Jeanne (some times listed as Jane) b 1831, Emelle Eleonore b 1834 and my Francis born 1837, Francis was a master mariner and died at sea, he married Mary Jane Connelly and they had three children and so the line goes on. I have both the Amy and Helleur trees if you are interested. This is the first time I have seen someone also related to this line of Helleur!

Hi
hoping someone can help with a few requests please for a friend who cannot travel herself? First is birth lookup for:
Anne Jeanne Helleur b. abt 1829, possibly St. Helier, dtr of Francois Helleur and Esther Amy
second is
Esther Amy b. abt 1806- we have no parent details, same lady mentioned above.
third is confirmation of a marriage date of
Elie Romeril and Marthe Helleur, which I have as 27 Jan 1744 St. Brelade, however I've seen a conflicting report taken apparently from a Société Jerriaise record suggesting a date in 1745, possibly in St. Helier, is correct?
Any help gratefully received!
Andy
