I'm looking for any information on the Devenport family.  My mother was a Devenport and I am interested in finding out about my family.  Thanks

My grandfather was William Henry Devenport and his brother was James Devenport.  Also Devenport was sometimes mispelled as Devonport and Davenport.  They both married sisters, William married Ethel and James married Agnes.  Any information would be great.  Thanks

Hi ChrisB96,

Was thinking that a lot of info. on your previous thread (South Africa) is about your Devenport family in Guernsey and was going to suggest you post here to see if you could get more info.

I have added the link from your previous post for others to see as it contains information on William Henry Devenport and his family this should help with not duplicating information already given

My grandfather was William Henry Devenport and his brother was James Devenport.

I wonder if William Henry's & James parents were Frances Hynes & James Devenport? James was a Seaman and possibly away at sea when the 1871 & 1881 census was taken

I don't have access to census info.  Where can I get the access?  I have been using ancestry.  I can't thank you enough for all the information you have provided for me.

Depends on what subscription you have - you should be able to obtain census info.

There also FindMyPast
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/home.jsp

the 1881 census is free to search
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp

Info. from National Archives

There are no birth, marriage or death records for the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man available to see online The National Archives does not hold any birth certificates or parish baptism records for the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not part of the United Kingdom, but are dependencies under the Crown but come under the jurisdiction of the Registrar General of England and Wales for census purposes.

Civil registration began at different times on each of the Channel Islands;
Guernsey in 1840, Jersey in 1842, Alderney in 1850 and Sark in 1915.

Registration began on the Isle of Man in 1849, but was not compulsory until 1878 (1884 for marriages).

Channel Islands
Civil and parish registers visit the Priaulx library for civil records for Guernsey from 1840, Alderney from 1850, and for parish registers for the Bailiwick of Guernsey (c1570-present), and the Jersey Heritage Research Centre for indexes to civil and parish registers for Jersey.

Parents

father (?) Devenport  (see 1851c) & Frances Hynes (see 1891c)

Frances (Sarah) Hynes b1850 Woolwich England was probably married to
James Devenport b1842 St P Port who was a Seaman his brother John 1845 Boot maker their mother Susan Devenport (nee Nicolle) b1817 Catel Guernsey (see 1851c Susan b1817 is a widowed Mariner’s wife)

Ernest James Larner b 1882 Chelsea other than census & 7th Norfolk Regt. No. 15780 (from George’s service records) and Pte E J Larner birthplace Chelsea [Regt. No.1387  RAMC SR joined 4/1/13 enlisted Southampton 4/1/13 - next of Kin brother George Pte Gordon Highlanders 

Arthur Phillip Larner
b1880 Ireland no other info.

Parents

Patrick Larner b1848 Ireland occ Tailor & Cutter (1891 census)
Bridget (RENNEY?) b1857 Jersey C.I. mmn would need to be verified by birth certificate/s  birth reg brother George Henry 1885 Lancashire BMD gives mmn RENNEY and Agnes Selina & Maud Ethel Lardner living in Guernsey with their Uncle named James Renney b1850 this would seem to link the Renney/Larner family together

probably mother Bridget with her family - marriage certificate of Patrick Larner to Bridget would confirm

Are there any passenger lists etc.  I am trying to find out when my grandparents Ethel and William Devenport came to Canada.  My aunt Winnie was born in 1916 so it was before that.  Any ideas?
