Hi JB -
I have found the following in the Registrars index of births:
St John births; period 14.7.1879 - 29.8.1893
HILLION
Louis Pierre page 131
Marie Caroline page 270
Caroline Pauline Marie page 372
Albert Francois Baptiste page 479.
With this information you can order the birth certificates, quoting the references, from -
The Superintendent Registrar
10 Royal Square
St Helier
Jersey JE2 4WA
tel. +44 (0) 1534 502335
Certificates cost £10 each plus postage (UK 50p; Europe £1; and elsewhere £2)
All the above are listed in the 1891 Jersey census in this family:
HILLION
Jean B 47 Quarryman born: France
Caroline wife 43 charwoman b: France
Jean son 12 scholar b: Guernsey St Peter Port *
Louis son 9 scholar Jersey St John
Mary dau 6 " "
Caroline dau 3 " "
Albert son 1 " "
(* hence Jean's birth is not registered in Jersey. )
I guess you may be able to find this family in Guernsey 1881 census?
Good luck in your research
