Thank you so much for this information. There was talk that one of the Albert's married a french woman, but we never knew her name (though french names in Jersey can't be too rare!) My family has been stuck for so long because of the same name over and over everything has become a jumbled mess.

This is what I've managed to put together so far.

Albert John de la Haye was born in the parish of St Peter on January 9th 1926. he died in July 2002 as per the Bolton death registration found previously.
His parents were Albert John de la Haye and Marie Remonde Guénegou.

Albert Snr and Marie married in the parish of St Saviour on February 8th 1920. Albert was 24 and was born in St Saviour, his father was Francis Charles de la Haye, a road worker.
Marie was 26 (a little economical with the truth here!) and was born in Le Vieux Bourg, Cotes du Nord, France. Her father was Denis Joseph Guénigou, a roofer.

The witnesses at the wedding were Francis C de la Haye and Delicia J de la Haye.

Albert Snr was born on January 26th 1896 in St Saviour and baptized on February 23rd. His parents were Francis Charles de la Haye and Delicia Jane Noel. If I remember rightly this family were found in the census returns.
I looked up this baptism in the original register and if this Albert had been the abandoned baby it would have been mentioned.
This date of birth fits pretty well with the other Albert death in Bolton in 1967.

Marie Remonde (Renée on her birth registration) Guénegou was born on November 15th 1892 in Le Vieux Bourg. Her parents were Denis Guénegou and Marie Francoise André. Denis was born in 1868 and Marie Francoise in 1864.

Delicia de la Haye lived in Jersey throughout the German occupation and there is a registration card at the Archive in her name, it has a small black and white photograph of her on it. She is living with her daughter Phyllis Maud Smith née de la Haye.

On my next trip to the Archive I'll see if Francis Charles de la Haye was the abandoned baby.
