Ok, I have a couple who married in Luxulian, Cornwall in 1826 and their first few children were christened in and around the same area (the youngest one was christened in 1832). Then they had a few more children, who according to records when they cam to Australia, were born in St Helliers on Jersey (from about 1832 - 1838) Then they had a few more children, the first of who was christened in Lanivet Cornwall in Nov 1841.
John Mannell was a stone mason and it is possible he went to Jersey for work. What I am interested in finding out, is if there are any sort of records for people travelling between the two places back then. Also, to get to the Channel Islands, where would they have travelled from? Would they have gone straight from Cornwall or would they have needed to go east a bit? Not knowing much about shipping back then and not really knowing the country, I have no idea how long the journey would have taken even.
Can anyone shed a little light on this topic?
thanks in advance,
Norma
