Look up request: James Family, Geurnsey
« on: Monday 12 May 14 01:36 BST (UK) »
Looking for additional information and possible local look ups on the Samuel and Ann James family (nee Taylor) - both were born in England (Devon).
The family lived in St Peter Port on 8 Bouett Rd and 16 Piette Rd between 1851 and 1873. Emigrated to New Zealand in 1874.
I am currently focused specifically, on a daughter of theirs Agnes Louisa b abt 1854 in Geurnsey. She is noted as a birth in one one record however I can not locate a death record nor any other hint of what happened to her. There may be linkage to an Agnes Louisa James who emigrated to the US but no confirmation of that. Her siblings are known to me: Eliza Ann  b 1852 and Samuel Arthur Clayton James b. 1863 (my G Grandfather).
I would sincerely appreciate anything that may help take down this brick wall I keep hitting. many thanks in advance.
Craig
