Hi Pam

Many thanks for your kind offer.

Could you please look up the marriage of John Saunders and Susan/Susannah Martyn.

I suspect they will have got married in the late 1850s as he is single on 1851 and they are married and have a 4 month baby by 1861.

On 1861 they live at High Street St Anne Alderney and John is described as a Bargeman.

They both originate in England if that helps, her in Looe Cornwall and him from Devon, Aveton Gifford we think.

Sorry that makes it sound as though they are purely attached to Alderney, but there are members of the Martyn family in Jersey also, so a Jersey marriage is a distinct possibility.

Thank you.

Hi Pam

Wow Great offer.

Can you see if you can find baptisms for
3 children of George Bartlett & Temperance
Eliza c1826, Elizabeth c 1830 and Emma c 1833 in St Helier

On the 1841 census they are living in Columbus St St Helier Jersey.

Its also possible Temperance born c1790 died in St Helier Jersey between 1841 - 1851
so I would appreciate a look up for this.

Thank You

Sue

I know they were living in Devon in 1861.

I'm not looking for anyone - I'm offering to go to the Archive and look them up for other people. That's why the subject is 'can search Jersey BMDs'

I live in Jersey and am able to view complete BMD's, the Registry Office here only charges if you order a certificate but anyone can go and browse the registers. The Archive also has complete Parish Records, some going back to the 1600's.

Don't expect quick replies because a) the Archive is only open 3 days a week and b) I have to show my face at work sometimes.

As much info as possible please, especially the parish if known.

Pam
