Hi

I am looking for any information of George Quirot, or any ideas of where i could look next.
I have checked lots of the links that have been posted on here, but not been able to find anything.

Timeline of George Quirot

Born - 31 Dec 1885 St Helier Jersey, Channel Islands

Parents - Phillip Quirot and Mary Ann Verront both born Jersey

1887 - George's father died

1887 - 1891 George and his siblings put into the Jersey Orphans Home

1891 census RG12/4698 f30 p24 - George is age 5 and living in the Jersey Orphans Home

Feb 1893 - George is moved to the Jersey Boys Industrial School he was aged 8 at this time

1901 census RG13/5315 f78 p1 - George is age 15 and still in the Industrial School

18 July 1901 - George left the Industrial school and was bonded to a Miss Bridges as a House Boy.

18 March 1909 - I have found George on a passenger list on board the ship Canada bound for Halifax Canada. (info Find My Past)
Also found the instructions to purser list that his destination was Toronto ( info Collections Canada website)

I have no other info of George and have no idea what may of happened to him other than three photographs of him, two of which he is in uniform (Army?).

I have assumed (i know i shouldn't) that he must have joined the army? at the time of the first world war, but can't find any records of this in either the British or Canadian records. I have also searched the Canadian census but not been able to find him.

Would there be any Canadian marriage or death records on line that i could search. I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas of what may have happened to him and where i could possibly look next.

Thanking you in advance
Sal

Hi Sue

Glad to be of help, there are also lots of other things on the website. If your family were still living in Jersey during the 2nd World War you should be able to find some Registeration Cards for them,  all the Occupants of Jersey had to be registered under the German Occupation. On these cards you will find date of birth where they were living their occupations and in most cases a photograph of them, you would have to send for these documents to be able to see the photo, (not very expensive the last time i ordered any it was about £1.00 per page)
