Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: Jersey Baptism Look Up Request - Elizabeth Holman 1850
« on: Monday 27 October 14 13:16 GMT (UK) »
Dear la grande-méthe,
Many thanks for looking up this information for me - I truly appreciate it!!! Elizabeth had an interesting, albeit short, life - immigrating to Canada in the 1860s, then immigrating to the US in 1883 only to die at the age of 34 that same year giving birth to her fifth child. Do you know if there is somewhere I could request a (electronic) copy of her entry in the register?
Very warm regards,
Jennifer

Hi Pkay 
I am so happy to hear from you. We do indeed seem to have family trees that cross. Joseph Holman (born 1828) was my 3 x great grandfather and the brother of Johanna Holman (Fourneau) born 1830 in Camborne. Joseph Holman (1828) had a son William Thomas (born on Alderney in 1850). William Thomas had a son, Joseph Thomas born 1878 who was my great grandfather. I have done extensive genealogical research on the Holmans, particularly after their immigration to Canada. I have pictures of Joseph, Edward and Nicholas Holman (Johanna's brothers) and have several letters that Joseph and Johanna Holman wrote while living in the Channel Islands to their children who had already immigrated to Canada. I do not, however know a lot about Johanna Holman (Fourneau). I would love to exchange info and find out what you have uncovered during your visits to the Channel Islands!! What is the best way to connect outside of this forum (via our email addresses)? I look forward to hearing from you.
My best,
Jennifer

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Re: Alderney searching, obtaining and accessing records.

Hi Stew,
I have had wonderful success obtaining information/documents from St. Anne’s Church in Alderney. The researcher there is the wife of the current rector, Rev. Mignot and her email address is: Eileen.mignot@cwgsy.net. She is absolutely amazing at tracking down the documents.

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Cemeteries on Sark
« on: Thursday 01 August 13 17:52 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a listing of gravemarkers for the cemeteries on Sark. What cemeteries are on Sark? Where were Sarkese (Sercquiais) people buried during the 18th and 19th centuries? Is there a transcription of these gravemarkers?
I am trying to locate the graves of my Hamon and Guille ancestors.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I clicked on the link. Do I have to create an account to view the database?

Thanks to both of you! I have been looking for the 1851 census for months - would never have thought to look for them under Almond! Hamon, Halmon, but not Almond. To answer Carole's question, Johanna was actually Joseph's one and only wife. What is really interesting about this census is that is shows Johanna - 21. We had thought that she had stayed behind in Cornwall, England (she is not on the 1841 or 1861 census with the rest of the Holman group. She must have returned to Cornwall before 1861.

Thanks. Can you suggest how I would be able to locate the 1851 census you are referring to? My subscription to Ancestry only covers Canadian documents/information.
p.s. what is IGI?
