I knew Ernest Wilfred Ashelford was on the Jersey roll of WW I service.  I don't know if he married.
 
Charles Alfred was a brother of Francis Jonathan Ashelford (who married Caroline Ball).  I had found his ministry record and also found his marriage in 1901; I don't know if they had children.

Any Ashelford with a Jersey or Alderney connection was of the same Somerset family.  I would so like to get hold of the marriage and death registrations and parish registers of Jersey.  I have read that LDS has received permission to film them, but I don't know when they will be available.  As of now, they are only available on Jersey itself.

hi ruth i know its annoying when i go on ancestry if its the channell islands it doesnt give births marriages and deaths i hope u have the weekend off  im hoping to go to jersey when i do ill do some lookups for you if u want david

David-
Channel Island civil registrations were never included in the GRO registrations of England and Wales - unfortunately!!  So they are not available anywhere in England, on film, or ancestry.com.  Not even Society of Genealogists in London.   Further, the Jersey civil registrations are not indexed for the whole island but for each parish (13 I believe) separately, so it could be quite a search.  The parish registers are each separate, as in England.  There are 2 libraries in St. Helier that have copies of both the church registers and the civil registration indexes.

I would be ever so grateful if you could do some look ups for me on Jersey - please let me know when you are going.  You can e-mail me directly at   rdunlap@tsf.net
