Find Ancestors

My head is spinning reading through this thread but if you give me specific BMDs to look up with approximate dates I'll see what I can find although if you've already visited the Archive you've probably found all there is.

Any on-line records are to be found here - more going on all the time.

My next session there is Tues morning.

PS to Janey - Sablon is in Guernsey, try me for Jersey look-ups :)

Thankyou. Looking for the following;

death of Peter/Pierre Girard between 1901 and 1911 gardener married to Marie Louise Eugenie Darthenay. Both born France.

Birth of Albert August Francois Marcel Girard/Gerard approx 1912. Already have Alberts marriage and death certificate.

All help appreciated. Thankyou

Oops. ;) She must have been making a trip to Jersey archives maybe and did a check for me!

Thanks for that link -- I'll try it out too.


The main Q here is:

birth of Albert François Auguste Marcelle GERARD could be GIRARD c1912.

I'll bet Sylvia would also be interested in seeing birth records for the other children in the 1891 census:

Peter Girard 36
Marie Girard 27 - born France
Jeanne Girard 10 - born France
Augustine Girard 8 - born Guernsey
> Adile Girard 2 - it's Adèle H - born Jersey St Helier i.e. c1888-9
> Pierre Girard 2 Mo - born Jersey St Helier i.e. 1891

and then also the two in the 1911 census:

GIRARD PIERRE EMILE 1902 Jersey
GIRARD EMILE PIERRE 1906 Jersey


Drat, Sylvia was still here after all and beat me to it!

Found two refs for Albert GIRARD


D/J/N2 St James' School. D/J/N2/4 St James' Infants school Log Book. Index available. [This log book has been indexed by people's names. Please note that the person that you are interested in may only appear on one page] -

D/J/N9 Phillips Street / La Motte Street Schools, St Helier. D/J/N9/3 La Motte Street Boys school Log Book. Index available. [This log book has been indexed by people's names. Please note that the person that you are interested in may only appear on one page] -


The dates are quite general, but would fit Albert's timeframe.

Hi Janey, might be getting the knack of this, I too found the school entries, so contrary to family jokes he did get some education. He was the last child to be born to his parents and I still feel he was born in Jersey.
Going to have an early night.
