Europe / Re: Naturalisation, Internment: Immigrant Information at KEW:
« on: Friday 21 January 05 18:28 GMT (UK)  »
I went to Kew to look for my grandfather's internment record - he was interned in Liverpool in 1940 as an enemy alien.

I found my grandmother's and great aunt's classifications as C grade enemy aliens (i.e. low risk). They were not interned. However I was told that most of the records of those people actually interned had not been released to the public and I would not be able to have access to my grandfather's records.

There is a useful book about internment of German and Austrian enemy aliens in WW2 called "The internment of aliens" by F. lafitte. I have a copy published in 1940 but it is still in print.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / 1861 Jersey census/BMD info - Rockett
« on: Friday 21 January 05 15:31 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for any information about Sarah J. Rockett. According to 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 England census she was born in Jersey in 1840 or 1841.

She was married to David Jonathon Jones (also listed as Daniel Jones in 1871 census) before 1862 - probably in Jersey.

Her first two children - Mary Ann (b. 1862) and Susan (b. 1863) were born in St. Helier, Jersey.

I have found Sarah Rockett's family in the 1841 census living at 2, Queen Street St. Helier, Jersey - father Josiah (shoemaker - age approx. 30y.) born England; mother Susan (age approx. 30y.) born England and children Susan (age 10y.) born England, Anne (age 3y.) born Jersey and Sarah (age 1y.) born Jersey.

I have also now found them in the 1851 Jersey census living in St. Helier. Susan Rockett on her own aged 42y.; Louisa (?the same person as Anne) aged 13y. born Jersey; Sarah aged 11y. born Jersey and Joseph aged 5y. born Jersey.

Any information from the 1861 census about Sarah, Josiah (or possibly Joshua or Isiah), Susan, Susan, Anne, Louisa or Joseph Rockett and/or David Jones or Sarah Jones would be very helpful.

Also any infromation about the births of Sarah (1840), Anne (1838), Louisa (1838) or Joseph  Rockett (1846), Susan (1863) or Mary Ann Jones (1862), or marriage of Sarah Rockett and David Jones (c. 1860), or deaths of Josiah/Joshua/Isiah or Susan Rockett would be much appreciated.
