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
