Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / BURWELL - burial JARVIS Oct. 1931
« on: Thursday 08 December 11 18:27 GMT (UK)  »
My great-uncle, Charles Jarvis, of Burwell, died 12 Oct. 1931.  Is there a burial date and place in Burwell parish records?

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Deaths on Jersey, 1846-1861, ASHELFORD
« on: Wednesday 06 December 06 07:14 GMT (UK)  »
I would like to find out if William ASHELFORD, (b. about 1783, Somerset) died on Jersey - probably St. Helier - by the 1851 census of St. Helier, when his wife, Sarah ASHFORD was identified as a widow, and mother-in-law to Thomas BRENTON (who had married Sarah ASHELFORD two weeks prior to the census). 

I would like to find out if  ASHELFORD/ASHILFORD/etc. persons died on Jersey between 1851 and 1861, particularly:

Sarah ASHELFORD b. 1780s (wife/widow of William)
Isaac ASHELFORD  b. about 1809 Somerset
Mary or Mary Ann ASHELFORD (wife of Isaac)
Jane ASHELFORD b. about 1835 Somerset (dau. of Isaac)
Charlotte ASHELFORD b. 1838 Somerset (dau. of Isaac)

I can't find the above named ASHELFORD persons anywhere in 1861.  Isaac was a son of William and Sarah ASHELFORD, and Isaac was on Alderney in 1851.  No record of his death on Alderney, but he may have joined his mother, sister, or brother (Francis) on Jersey.  There may be another one or two ASHELFORD deaths, probably children of whom I have no record.

I would appreciate any help with a search for these deaths.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Jersey marriage look-up about 1854, please
« on: Thursday 19 October 06 04:33 BST (UK)  »
I would like to have the marriage date and bride's surname:

Francis ASHELFORD to Hannah  [ ? ] about 1852-1855, probably in St Helier or St. Saviour parish, Jersey.

Francis was single in St. Helier in 1851, with wife Hannah and son Francis age 5 1/2  in St. Helier in 1861.  Hannah was born in St. Saviour, so they may have married there.  The family likely was Methodist, so civil registration may be the only source available.

Francis had a niece, Charlotte ASHELFORD, who may have married on Jersey between 1851-1861 - Charlotte, her siblings, and her parents were on Alderney in 1851 and none of them can be found in the 1861 census anywhere.  I would like to find who Charlotte married so I can perhaps find her in later censuses.
