Hello folks,

I would very much appreciate is someone could lookup the following in the Probate Index :

Thomas DOUGLAS of Enysham died 1821
Elizabeth DOUGLAS died 1804
Elizabeth LEECH/LEACH nee DOUGLAS died 1814

Thank you in advance.
kind regards,
Leanne

Good afternoon everyone,

I'd appreciate any help or pointers for the following query:

Another board member has very kindly found a marriage record in Jersey for an ancestor of mine, which recorded that she was born in about 1821 in Tallow, Waterford.  The family would have been Catholic and her father's name was John.

There is something of a puzzle to this though :
Later records in the Cape Colony, have her recorded as Mary CAPLES, but the marriage record from Jersey shows her surname as KEPLISS.  She was not literate at the time and one might be able to explain the difference to accents/pronunciation/maybe a french speaking official in Jersey.

I'd very much like to try and trace a birth or baptism record for Mary in the Tallow civil records or Church baptsim records, and would need to be on the lookout for either of the surnames.  Any advice would be most welcome.

Good afternoon everyone,

Would any Jersey residents be able to tell me whether the parishes of St Marys & St Peters and maybe also St Thomas have cemetaries and how one might go about requesting a lookup.

Thanks in advance.

G'dmorning all,

I am trying to establish whether the following family emigrated before or after 1841 and was hoping to rule them out in the census.  All 4 children were christened in St. Leonards in London.

Thomas William HINDS aged 49 in 1841
his wife Sarah
Children :
George Dolland HINDS age 16
Thomas Charles HINDS age 15
Charles William HINDS age 12
Sarah Ann HINDS age 9
