I'm currently trying to find the marriage details relating to my Great Great Grandparents, John Hill and Emily Eliza Lanot.  I believe that they may have married in Jersey in, or around 1863.

John Hill was a soldier in the 61st Regiment of Foot, and the Regiment were stationed in the Channel Islands in 1863 (although it could be any time between 1860 and 1864). 

Hi Thudders -

I finally managed to visit the archives and can confirm the marriage details from the registrars index: period June 1863 - Aug 1867  page 20, has an entry for John Hill and Emily Lanot.

If you quote the above details you can obtain a copy of the entry from the Superintendent Registrar, 10 Royal Square, St Helier, Jersey,  JE2 4WA.
(tel. 01534 502335)

Certificates cost £10 plus  postage 50p UK, £1 Europe or £2 elsewhere.

I accessed the parish register, which shows:

20 April 1864 -

John Hill  39 bachelor  61st Regiment  resid: St Helier  born: Gloucestershire father: Joseph Hill, labourer

Emily Lanot 21 spinster -  resid: St Helier  born: St Helier  father:  Maurice Lanot, labourer

witnesses: J Ridgway and Elizabeth Mourant.

This seems to tie in with the 1851 census - but was Emily born in Jersey or France?  I can't find evidence of her birth in Jersey, and the parents do not seem to be present in the 1841 census for Jersey.

Hi Mike E

I am sure Thudder will be very thrilled with your findings!!

Thank you so much for bringing a good news to this post!

Kind regards,

Mike,
that is absolutely fantastic!  Thank you so very much.  This is without doubt the right match.

It is my understanding that Emily was born in France.  I have located her on the 1851 Census, where her name is listed as Ameile Lanot, and the 1861 Census, where she is shown as a house maid, born France.

I shall send for a copy of the certificate on Saturday.

I really can't thank you enough, and than you to Annie for letting Mike know of my request.

With best wishes,
Thudders
