Jersey Marriage Lookup c1890 please
« on: Monday 30 October 06 16:25 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking for help regarding a marriage the possibly took place in Jersey around 1890.

The people involved were Edgar Montrose Townley (born c1858, Hampshire) and someone called Ada. I'm afraid I don't have her maiden name, but census forms show that she was born in Jersey around 1865-70.

They lived in Hampshire, but I can find nothing on BMD for a wedding, so I am guessing that they married in Jersey.

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi Steve,
I'm not having any luck either, the only thing that I can think is if you order the birth of Fitz William Townley 1891
District Southampton
Vol 2c
Page 20
That should give you Ada's maiden name.

Thanks for looking.

I'll give it a few more days, and if no-one else has come up with anything I'll order the certificate.

I thought I'd try and save myself seven pounds if I could;-)

Steve -

Edgar Montrose Townley was married at St Helier register office, between Feb 1886 and Nov 1889; page 51 of the registrar's index for this period. 

The only person on that page called Ada was ADA WOODS.

You can order a copy of the entry, which will confirm the details, from
The Superintendent Registrar
10 Royal Square, St Helier, Jersey  JE2 4WA

Copies cost £10 plus p&p (UK 50p; Europe £1.00 and elsewhere £2.00)

If you want to get a copy of Ada Woods birth certificate, which will give her parents names, you can also order this from the above.  The index reference is -
St Helier, 9.5.1868 - 22.7.1869  page 53.

I hope this helps.
