Grouville - Jersey - Channel Island

[la grande-méthe]

This will is held at the Jersey Archive, your relative should be able to get a copy from them.

Testament of Nina Mary Picot née Wimble, Les Tours Farm, St Clement, widow. Dated 26 March 1925. Codicil added 8 July 1930 (D/Y/A/98/49)
    1935-12-16 - 1935-12-16
    2 papers
    file

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.

Marion is going to be there a week at this stage, we tried to 'pre-order' documents but just end up going around and around in circles trying to get them to give us direct answers our question.  Last count we have 10 emails - so a little bit frustrated.  Not sure if it is language barrier or us not explaining our needs the right way.

We appreciate all the help offered and suggestions provided - will follow all of them.  Will Marion need proof of her relationship to the family - her birth certificate showing mum's maiden name ?

Hi Suz,

This has me confused as the 1891 census has her age as 38, that gives her birth about 1854 - but this probate is stating she died in 1835 - before she is supposed to have been born. 

Georges probate date 1922 does state it goes to Nina Mary Picot widow - so now totally confused

Whoops - I'm at it now!!!
The date should be 1935 - not 1835 - big apologies
