Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / What was happening in Guernsey in 1861?
« on: Wednesday 25 March 15 04:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Some of my husband's ancestors were in Guernsey on the 1861 census. I wondered if anyone might know of a reason why a Mason would be living there with his wife, but not his children, at that time. Was there a huge building project happening at that time? This is the family:
1861 Census
Henry Dell born abt 1821 England Head St Peter Port Guernsey
Mary Ann Dell born abt 1815 England Wife St Peter Port Guernsey (nee DRURY)
Mary Ann Linden born abt 1843 England Niece St Peter Port Guernsey (bap.Jun qtr 1845 St.Giles)
Does anyone know of a way to find out when they travelled from the mainland, please?
Any help appreciated,
OzzieJoan
