Hello Phillip,

Where did you find Walter's baptism? Did you see the original, or was it from a transcription?

EXTRACT FROM THE CIVIL REGIS' ST. HELIER. JERSEV. BIRTHS.
July 16 (1859) - Walter William, son of Mr. Ralph Barrow.

EXTRACT FROM THE CIVIL REGISTER ST. HELIER. JERSEY. DEATHS.
Aug 10 (1859) - Walter William Barrow, aged 25 days

I see there is a Margaret Fitzpatrick in the 1861 census listed above....

Phillip

Phillip Report 13 May 2019 23:37

So there is confusion as to whether Bridget was called Fitzpatrick or Carpenter.

If anyone has access to deaths in India, perhaps the children concerned can be accounted for. The 1861 census and death look ups in Jersey show nothing for Frances or Arthur John.

The other version of the marriage on FMP gives her surname as Carpenter and says she is of St Thomas Mount.


WJ Blenkinsop is actually Wm Thos. Blenkinsop - a correction has been made

The Whitty witnesses could be Whitby's

So Louisa has mother as Bridget Carpenter....

Perhaps the first child Frances died in India?

Yes. It is mine on Ancestry.

When I was given the details of Bridget and Ralph's marriage, it said Carpenter, which I thought was her surname. I'm thinking it may have been her father's occupation???

The moved to Jersey around 1855ish??

Yes, these are some of the children.

I have never found the deaths for the first child Frances Alice (born India 1843), Arthur John born 1850 or Samuel.

An Ancestry tree gives her birth May 1824 in Cork and she is named as Bridget Fitzpatrick Carpenter

Ralph is said the be born 27 November 1811 Bolton, Lancs

First child shown is Frances Alice Barrow b 26.2.1843 in Bangalore, India

Could Ralph have been in the Army? Yes, Shirley's 1861 census would suggest that

EDit - baptism originals seem to say Ralph was a Sergeant in the 15th Hussars

Hi.

I have limited information here but have actually just be informed of the above.

Main issue is that I have a Bridget Barrow, of Cork, dying on 12 August 1887 in Jersey aged 63. Her husband Ralph Barrow died on 4 Match 1885 in Jersey.

I had no parents for Bridget until now.

A son, Walter, was baptised 9 August 1859 and it gives her parents as Michael and Frances Fitzpatrick.

Is it possible to ascertain a marriage even if we don't know the specific parish?

Phil
Thank you
