Good morning
I wonder if someone can help me find birth and marriage records for Mary/Marie Queripel please?
Born abt 1810 in Castel, Guernsey. Father Elias.
She married Peter/Pierre Mauger b abt 1812, Guernsey, in about 1835/6. Pierre was a carpenter. Their first daughter was Mary Ann in 1837.
Any info would be wonderful. Also missing 1841 census.

You could try;

I must admit the Channel Islands is not my area of expertise!

Guernsey records are not very well represented on line. You could enquire at the Priaulx Library in Guernsey, La Société Guernesiaise, the Guernsey Family History Society or there is a Guernsey Family History Facebook page

Thank you both very much. The link you gave is extremely helpful and I’ve joined both Facebook groups and also I will definitely try the Library and Society’s you suggest La Grand-Methe.
Thank you!
