Hello All,

Could anyone assist with a look up request for any birth or death details on the following?

James (or Jacques) Robilliard
unconfirmed family records state, born 1755 in St Peter Port, death 8 Dec 1805

Married Marie Hill 20 Sep 1799 ( I have a copy of Marriage Bann), Birth abt 1758 (but no records to date to confirm this) Death 1805 (again to records to support this).

James and Marie had a son Henry William Robilliard as confirmed on Henry's death cert, Henry was born 18 Feb 1799 in St Peter Port, prior to emigrating to Jersey in 1824, and later to Australia where he is Buried in Melbourne General Cemetery (1879)

I have been unable to confirm Henry's parents past his death record.

I'm interested in learning more about his parents life in Guernsey and their deaths as I'm sure it is unusual for both parents to die so young and in the same year? Perhaps I have the wrong James and Marie? Also it would appear from the Marriage Bann that Henry was illegitimate 

Some additional information that may be relevant; Henry went on to work as a Sail Maker in Jersey and some family history documents note that he took on this business from his father ?? Some of Henry's Sons went on to be Sail makers and Sea Captains and one was also a Methodist preacher.

Any information or suggestions or what to do now are most welcome, 

Thank you so much in advance

Hi All,

Apologies in advance if this seems a little ridiculous but I've been trying to source information on my GGGGG-Grandfather. Unfortunately he died before the 1841 census so my information is based on his son's death's certificate where he was noted as "James". I have a copy of a marriage bann where he is again named James (Robilliard) and he marries Mary Hiill in 1779 in St Peter Port Guernsey CI.

My research has halted here, as I am unable to source certificates for his birth or death, (as I can't visit the CI) however I have been informed by other researchers that he was born in Guernsey in Sept 1755 and died Dec 1805 (same day as his wife, although this is all I have and I'm skeptical as I have found nothing myself about this).

I thought I'd try searching online variants of name spelling and also other family tree's as James Robilliard is a very popular name in the Channel islands during his era. To this end I have come across Jean Robilliard b. June 1755, brother to Vital 1753, Parents, Vital and Rachel Brouard, Grandparents James and Rachel Le Beir.

Of course this is a long shot but other distant cousins note this as their link.

Any way... Is it possible that James was born Jean??
Is there any other name variants I should be searching? (I have tried Jas)

thoughts?

and many thanks Tanya

Hello,
 
Could anyone help me please with any information on James / Jacques Robilliard, his wife Marie /Mary (hill?) and their family?

I have unconfirmed details as follows:

James/Jacques Robilliard b. Sept 16 1755 in St Peter Port Guernsey CI (possible parents Pierre / Marie Jeanne Nicolas or Nicola)

married Marie/Mary (Hill? b. c1758) in Sept of 1779 in St PP G CI

James and Mary have the following children before their deaths in 1805.

James b.1780
Jennete Seamer b. 1783
Jean he Seamer b. 1783
Pierre b.1786
Anne b.1788
Judith Langlow b.1791
Samuel b.1793
Marie b.1996
Henry (William?) 1799
William 1802

I am descended from Henry and have much information on him and his Australian lineage however I have not been able to confirm his parents details including their birth marriage or death.

I am particularly interested in their death as they appeared to die young and my unsourced data states they both died on Dec the 8th 1805.

Can anyone shed any light on this family and what could have caused them both to die on the same day?

Many thanks in advance, Tanya in Oz

Hello everyone,

I'm really hoping someone can help me with a possible burial site so I can explore cemetery inscriptions for Catherine Elizabeth Robilliard nee Ogier. 1801 - 1845.

I am having trouble finding a death certificate, so thought a cemetery search may help however I am not sure where to start?

Catherine was living in St hellier in 1841 as per the census, and family trees indicate she died in 1845.

Any suggestions most welcome as I rely solely on the internet as I live in Australia.

Many thanks

Tanya
