Judith Porter
« on: Tuesday 12 April 05 13:21 BST (UK) »
Could someone look up in 1841 or 1851 Census for Channel Islands for Judith Porter born in 1813 as I would like to know
her husbands name and did she have other children.

Viola -

I have found Judith in 1851 census, St Peter Port, Guernsey -

3 Union Street -

Matthew Porter    Head   marr   51  Waiter   b. England
Judith Porter   wife     -      marr.   38       b. St Peter Port, Guernsey
George  Porter  son  -  3        b. St Peter Port, Guernsey

She does not apear to be present in 1841 - but she might be under her maiden name then. 

If you wish to look further, the next best source might be the Priaulx Library, Guernsey, for marriages and baptism records.  (I'm in Jersey, so I don't get over there very often)
