Title: Frederick Stratford marriage guernsey c 1891/2
Post by: moiramount on Friday 01 July 22 23:38 BST (UK)
Hi looking for a marriage of a Frederick Stratford and Harriet Hancock c 1891/2. Harriet was born in Guernsey 1861, father Thomas Henry Hancock. Frederick was born in Sheffield Yorkshire but they had a son Frederick Henry Stratford b 1891/2 Guernsey. Some records say St Johns others St Peter Port. Harriet was still single aged 31 in the 1891 census. I haven't found Frederick Henry's birth yet either so if anyone can find that too i would be very grateful.

Thankyou

Where are they in 1901 & 1911 - have you looked for them on the CI or England/Wales census?

Have you checked www.familysearch.org

in 1911 they are in Sheffield also Sheffield for 1901 but Frederick is not with them in 1901.
Cannot find him in Military records, he died in 1916 in Sheffield.

If you have them in 1911 then you know where & when Frederick snr was born but your opening post says you don't have that info??  Frederick snr is with the family in 1911

I have just read on the National Archives site that no BMD records are online for the Chanel islands

There are BMD indexes for Jersey on-line but you need to contact the Priaulx Library for Guernsey civil records.
