Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Re: Is it possible to find out who was residing in a house in Jersey 1945?
« on: Saturday 25 August 07 21:42 BST (UK) »How can I find out who was living in a house in St Hellier in 1945 ?
Registration cards were compulsory for everyone in Jersey in 1941 following the occupation in 1940. The Jersey archive has useful information, including the addresses, of these individuals online so you could get very close to 1945.
Starting place for all the records is http://jerseyheritagetrust.jeron.je/archive.html
I would first select "place" and input a road name and select from the list of house numbers. If you are lucky, there will be registration details for individuals living at that address.
This is an example of the sort of information returned:
D/S Immigration and Nationality Department D/S/A/4/B9560 Blue Registration form of Clara Rachel Pitman, née Poingdestre of 15, Sand Street, St Helier, born 14/04/1875. 20/01/1941 - 20/01/1941
If you would also like to contact me privately I am able to check 1960 for you.
Good Luck!

Hi China - The way to go is a lint free cloth and isopropanol (also known as isopropyl) alcohol as it will will not leave residue/streaks as for example simple tap water would. Google came up with a few sites you may find interesting.

I have a feeling the bride and groom are not there judging by the way everyones dressed. Perhaps just a photograph of the "spread" before they join the party maybe?
ps. If they are there then I agree maybe the couple standing in the middle but would the bride be wearing a cardigan on her wedding day I wonder?

Hi Charlotte
As you can see from the picture below, this picture has a print size of approximately 7.6" x 7" so that answers your first question. Given the condition of the picture, I would also consider one slightly smaller in dimension which can and does often give the effect of better quality. I personally would not make this particular photo any bigger but then thats my choice.
I think you will find where ever you take it, you will find them helpful and offer the best advice. If you tell them you want to be able to frame it, I am sure they will work out the best print size for you. I have only ever done this once (at Boots chemists) a few years ago and I was able to view all the options on screen before selecting a print. Putting it on a CD should be fine. Hope this helps.
