Arthur Henry Janaway, Jersey

[anngar]

I am looking for information on Arthur Henry Janaway b. 1861, Southampton, Hampshire, England.  He was born Arthur Henry Mecey/Macey, son of Ann Macey.  Ann later married Arthur Janaway and I believe Arthur Henry took the surname Janaway some time between 1881 and 1911.

The only census and info I have after a 1881 census, Southampton is a 1911 Census Jersey probably St. Hilier - 29 Kensington Place, Jersey

Arthur Henry Janaway, head, 50 yrs, mar, no children, occupation: boot rivetter, worker, born in Southampton, Hampshire

Mary Jane Janaway, wife, 52 yrs, mar 6 yrs. born St Stephen by Saltash, Cornwall.

Is he in a 1891 or 1901 census in Jersey either as Arthur Henry Janaway or Arthur Henry Macey?  I haven't found out any info on his marriage or death.

Any info on Arthur Henry would be appreciated

Thanks,

Could this be him with name entered wrongly??

1891
Ann St St Helier Jersey
Charles Janaway Boarder single 30 Boot Riveter England hampshire
RG12 469 62 9

Maybe he married using name Janaway - his brother Edward macey used the name Janaway when he married in 1888??

ShaunJ & Suzard,

Thanks so much for your help.  I think in both cases it is Arthur Henry.

I wonder if he was really married to Mary Jane because I haven't been able to find a mar reg or even a death reg on Free BMD for either of them.  I used both Janaway & Macey/Mecey for Arthur

You are right I think Edward also took the name Janaway and I have the three census for him

Thank you again

Perhaps they married in Jersey. That wouldn't be in FreeBMD

ShaunJ,

Thanks I didn't know that Free BMD didn't cover the Channel Is.

Does anyone have access to parish records for marriages 1904-1906 for St. Helier, Jersey?
