The Boar war is a good example of how battles and Military men can influence baby names.

That would be the Boer war! ;)

Dutch/Afrikaans for farmer.

I don't suppose Nile Rogers was named after the Battle of the Nile? :D

Try Warminster Council, or the Library.

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Re: Cannot find a Guernsey marriage anywhere - unusual surname, can you find it?!

Some years ago, I needed Jersey records.
(Yes! I know Jersey and Guernsey are separate states)

I found it worthwhile to pay for a local researcher.

Guernsey isn't part of England, GB or UK.
So you need the records held in Guernsey.

Records will likely be at The Priaulx Library.

My mother was one of twins. Her sister was a stillbirth, but is included in my family tree.
More for the twins aspect, as we are proud of the4 successive generations of twins in the family!

Have you tried Philip's Park, Miles Platting?
There are Catholic sections there.
