Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: St Helier Cemetery
« on: Monday 01 October 12 06:58 BST (UK) »
If the Archives prove disappointing I will have to make do with trying to locate the streets they lived in, even though I do not have definte street numbers. At various times they lived:
Gloucester St, St Helier
3 Belmont Cottage, Belmont St, St Helier
Belmont Place, St Helier
Meadow View, Beaumont, St Helier
Looking at Google maps, most of these streets (although quite long streets) still exist.
I may have a little more luck researching another member of the family: Charles William Herbert Connolly, who between 1900-1908 was a Church of England minister & lived at the Vicarage, St Martin, Jersey with his wife and 3 children.

Many thanks for your advice. I will certainly make the Archives my first port of call.
I am looking forward to exploring your lovely island.

Thank you, yes I have tried the Jersey Archives - unsuccessfully unfortunately, however, I will definitely try to visit in person, perhaps someone there may have some suggestions of where to look.
Perhaps I just need to keep my head down and inspect each paving stone? lol!

Thank you for that website suggestion, unfortunately the records kept for these cemeteries are later than I need.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / St Helier Cemetery
« on: Tuesday 18 September 12 12:16 BST (UK) »
I will be visiting Jersey from Australia in October & if possible would like to find the graves of my 5 x g grandparents who died in 1835 & 1855 respectively. At the time of their death they both lived in St Helier so I assume it likely that they are buried in The St Helier cemetery. Would there be any surviving grave records for this period & if so where would I be able to search them?
Just one other thought as my 5 x grandfather was in the Royal Marines would he perhaps be buried in a naval/military cemetery (if there is one of course)?

Bingo!!
I have quite a lot of information which I can share with you.
Are you a descendent of William Willmington?
Yes, John Shorland was definitely a younger brother of Sarah Shorland - both were children of Thomas Shorland and Sarah Spiller.
John Shorland came to the colony as a Bounty Immigrant on the ship "Marquis of Hastings" which arrived on 4th Feb 1841 - I think about 1 year after William & Sarah Willmington migrated.
John also lived in Broulee, NSW for a number of years (as did the Willmingtons).
I recently obtained a copy of a Will written by John & Sarah's aunt Elizabeth which is very interesting.

Hi Stewart,
My source of information re both Peter & Elizabeth Connolly's deaths etc is The National Archives. Unfortunatley, informaton they provided is very little - they supplied only 2 pages for PC & 1 for EC in answer to my requests for information.
PC's information gave death as 27 Feb 1835, address as Gloucester St, St Helier - half pay of 13 pounds 1 shilling to go to widow Elizabeth Connolly & copy of letter from Thos Orange? (Curate) re burial on 2 Mar 1835.
EC's gave death as 13 Dec 1855 - widow's pension of 8 pound 10 shillings - Name & address of claimant Charlotte Hooper wife of Thomas Hooper - Ext. according to terms of Will - address Meadow View, Beaumont, St Helier.
I have tried to find all these people on 1841 thru to 1901 census using both name & address searches to no avail. All these people including Elizabeth Canning are proving very elusive.
Thanks again, for all your help. Regards, Perth

Thank you for your very prompt reply.
I would be interested to know if there is any mention of a Charlotte Hooper - wife of Thomas Hooper as she received Elizabeth's navy widow's pension on Elizabeth's death. I don't know who she is or if she is related in some way to Elizabeth & Peter Connolly.
I can't find Charlotte or Thomas Hooper in any census but at the time of Elizabeth's death her address was Meadow View, Beaumont, Jersey. Perhaps she is a daughter? or sister?
Many thanks,
Perth
