Thanks for your reply. Grand Father was Philip d,auvergne Laffoley born 1862. Brother William Wesley born 1860, sister Maryann born 1855. Father of these Joshua Laffoley and mother Jeanne Le Gresly. Another child named James was mentioned once but never again which led me to believe he died young. All from St. Peter. Jersey. Love Barney, my Henri, a lookalike, died recently and I still mourn him. Still have 4 other Persians so must just get on with life.......

Hi

If the James Helier Laffoley you are asking about died in Sept 1860 aged 4mths - he was born around May 1860. 

You say that William Wesley was born 1860 so unless he and James were twins, they can't be the same family.  Do you know William's exact birth date?

Thanks, I will have to delve deeper and find William Wesleys birth date. The thought of twins did occur to me, as well as the fact that he, himself , fathered twin boys....I will be back....
