Trying to find the burial locations for the above family members.
Confirmation on birth, death and marriage details.

Migrations of William Arthur to Australia - believed to be to a Port in South Australia, where is rumoured he jumped ship there and initially made a life for himself before heading to Victoria.

We have found census entries for some family but unconfirmed.

A descendant family member is making the trip from Aust to Jersey mid year and staying a week to locate any potential family links, so getting as much background work before hand is vital.

We have contact the local church's and archive office but seem to be going around in circles getting straight answers.

Need to know where the cemeteries are, if none then where they would be buried eg: on church ground, on private land or in another Provence/township.

Any help and suggestions appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

There are 12 parishes in Jersey, each has it's own graveyard but you would need to contact each parish individually re their records. In St Helier, the capital, burials where originally in the Town Church yard and Green Street cemetery, when they were full new cemeteries were opened - Almorah and Mont a l'Abbe. St Helier church and Green Street records are sketchy but both Almorah and Mont a l'Abbe have been indexed (indexes at the Archive). The burial records for St Clement's parish church are on-line.

In addition to those mentioned there are various other smaller cemeteries dotted around the island. A good source for burials are the funeral directors records many of which have been deposited at the Archive and are gradually being indexed.

Bear in mind that Picot is a very common name and that our ancestors had no imagination when it came to Christian names hence lots of Johns, Williams, Georges, Elizabeths and Janes.

I am away from the island at the moment but may be able to do a bit of digging on your behalf when I return in April.

Hi Suz,

Yes you are correct I rechecked my information and George d: bef 10-Sep-1947 (per son's death notice)

Thank you so much for picking that up - guess doing stuff at 4am one should ensure brain is engaged properly.

Thank you - a family member (Marion) is traveling over there from Aust in May/June (don't have exact dates yet and this will be of an enormous help to her.

This is just wonderful - thank you so much Suz.
What would I use as the 'source' for the information and where would Marion (who is coming over mid year) go to get copies of this and other records.

Hi Suz,

This has me confused as the 1891 census has her age as 38, that gives her birth about 1854 - but this probate is stating she died in 1835 - before she is supposed to have been born. 

Georges probate date 1922 does state it goes to Nina Mary Picot widow - so now totally confused
