The Governor of Guernsey, 1482-1485 was Duarte Brandao.
His successor was Edward Weston (1486-1509).

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_governors_of_Guernsey

Thanks for replying.

He's mentioned in some lists and not in others, for example:

Where does he fit into your Family History?

If you use Google there are a couple of articles mentioning him

Thanks for replying. It's a tree I'm researching for someone else.

I can't find anything beyond that he held this post?

Hi, would anyone be able to help me find information on Thomas Ridley (Rydley) who was made Captain of Cornet Castle and Governor of Guernsey from Jan 1484 till Nov 1485

Thanks, in anticipation.

Warwickshire / Re: Surname .......North

After a bit more digging I found the North family in Coventry in the 1840's
John North and his three sons all well known to the police. Thomas married Eliza Bowyers in 1850 and they had a daughter Sarah Jane North who on the 1860 census is living with the Charlesworths at the age of 12 months and registered as a nurse child ........so I can only assume that the parents were unavalable so I think the riddle is solved

Hi! Can you tell me anymore about these Norths & their police records? Thanks.

I'm afraid I was never able to establish who Jemima's parents were except to say they were William & Mary Copage. He being a stone mason.

I notice on her M/C that the witnesses are Asenath (Coppage) Ratcliff & Abel Ratcliff. Have you come across them?

Thank you! Someone else searching for him felt he may have been Catholic.
