Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Marriage in Jersey
« on: Wednesday 05 May 10 01:24 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out about the marriage of my greatgrandfather James Thomas Martin. In the 1851 census James is working in St Helier and living in Dale Cottage, St Saviours Rd. He was a tailor and married to a lady called Margaret who was Jersey born. They were both 27, born in 1824 or so. James was born in Menheniot Cornwall and I have found him in 1841 aged 15 (rounded down) as a tailor's apprentice and in 1851 when he was a widower and in the RN in Plymouth as a ship's tailor. There seems to be no record of a marriage in England for James and Margaret so I am supposing that they married in St Helier possibly between about 1847 and 1851. There were no children in 1851. Any help would be much appreciated

Other Countries / PERU: UK families in Peru
« on: Wednesday 08 July 09 06:53 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me why an ancestor in the 1891 census would have born Peru Foreign Subject beside his place of birth. Was there any mining etc going on there like there was in Argentina etc in the 1860s. His name was Armstrong and possibly his father was Scottish as he had the middle name Carrin which I have found in Scotland as a surname

One Name Studies: A to G / GULLET/GULLETT
« on: Saturday 22 September 07 08:37 BST (UK)  »
Interested in contacting people with an interest in this name. My family apparently started in either France or the Low Countries and the first instance found in England was in 1544. The family settled mainly in Devon and I have traced a direct line back to 1600. Would do lookups in my large database and any additions very welcome. So far have only found links in the USA to those who emigrated in the 19th century from England. Others went to Australia, South Africa, Canada and New Zealand.

« on: Saturday 22 September 07 08:10 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have any information on this family. Thomas Broe was born around Dec 1824
 in Roundtown, Rathfarnham. There are records I have seen for the 1850s and later for this parish where instances of this surname occur but I have yet to find anything for the 1820s and 30s. Can anyone please help

Does anyone have information on the Palatine families who emigrated to the Southwell Estate in the late 18th century. Especially interested in the family of Johann Brough who was a vine dresser
