Can someone please help me I am trying to find the death of James Restorick he is on the 1861 Census with his family in St Helier but not on the 1871. I know the family were still living there as his son George died on 25th January 1875 in St Helier, his elderly mother Sarah was still alive and would appreciate if her death also could be found. Various spellings for the name are Restorick/Restarick/Restrick.
Thank you.

Hi
James White Restorick died at 6:30AM on 13th Dec 1862 at 15, George St., St. Helier. He was 24 years old, died from typhus and John Restorick was present at the death.
Source: St. Helier deaths, Dec 1861 to May 1863, volume 15. page 69.
I then looked at the index for burials at Mont a L'Abbe cemetery.
Entry 365 shows "Mr Restorick buried on Thursday, Jan 1875 (no day), in the half burial place, north part of south grave. Minister Rev. Bibby, Funeral Director, Mr Picot". The plot is block F, plot 176, grave N2.
Entry 530 shows "Mrs Restouck on 16th Jan 1877. Funeral Director Mr S". The plot is again, block F, plot 176, grave N2.
Entry 719 shows "16th Dec 1862 - Mr James Restorick to there bury his son - half burial place north". The plot is block F, plot 176, grave N2.
I have copied the plot details and comments as is. Entry 719 is a little difficult to understand but is obviously the burial of James.

Restorick Death Channel Islands
Stewart has done a great job finding the above deaths for me and from the information received Entry 719 states Mr James Restorick to bury his son, so from this I know James senior was still alive, in 1862 but not on the 1871 census, I also know his death is not recorded in England, can someone check deaths in Guernsey? His sister Ann lived there and family were known to visit!

Hi again

Hi Stewart
I cant believe you have done it again, this is the rest of the family, how sad they are gone over a period of 10/11 years, with the exception of my great grandfather William. I would love to know whats on the certificates, and I am intrigued as to who Martha is as I have no information on her! I'm now wondering is she James or John's wife, George's daughter! I always thought the only marriage on Jersey was George White Restorick's.
I am so grateful to you for all your help and look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Alice
Here are the details! The Registrar's handwriting is terrible. I can see most things because I recognise the words, but some of the causes of death may be spelt incorrectly.
4:30AM, 10th Jun 1867 at 20 Sand St. St. Helier, James Restorick aged 66 years. He was a Boucher and died from Phrshisic(?). John Restorick was present at the death.
11th Aug 1870 at 38, Pier Road, St. Helier, John Restorick aged 29 years 5 months. He was a Boulanger and died from Diarrhee. George Sinnatt was present at the death.
12th Jun 1871 at 8, Kensington Place, St. Helier, Martha Restorick, widow of John Pierce and wife of John Halett. She was 62 years and died from Maladiw ou Caur(?). Ann Burnett was present at the death.
26th Jan 1875 at Kensington St., George White Restorick aged 39 years. He died from Epicier Annerrisme de l'aorte(?). Meche de Keriah of 18 George St., was present at the death.
13th Jan 1877 at 2, Kensington St., Sarah White wife of James Restorick aged 87 years. She deid froom cancer a l'asophage and Kezia(?) Holmes of 18, George St., was present at the death.
Hope all that helps.

Hi Stewart
I cant thank you enough for all the information you have discovered for me. The mystery of Martha is solved from all of this, she was James senior's sister, although the parish records in Hawkchurch, Devon state Robert Pearce(Pierce). I know where Sand Street is and Kensiington Place is the General Hospital area and the family had lived at Pier Road but cant find George Street on the map. Any ideas does it still exist?
Thank you again for your help.

It certainly doesn't exist today but I'll look on an old map and report back.
Stewart

Thank you very much.

Hi Alice
I am reliably informed that Kensington Place and George Street are one and the same place.
George Street was the original name but was a "red light" district. Changing its name was an attempt to up-grade the area!

Once again thank you, thank.

Hi Stewart
Can I ask you once again to assist me? Can you check for a marriage for William Restorick please.
William Restorick married Elizabeth Jane Price, their first child was born in 1858 in Altrincham, Cheshire. They then travelled all over England before coming to Scotland but I have been unable to find their marriage on findmypast.com, ancestry.com etc.
On the 1851 Census for Jersey William is listed as a seaman and I cant help wondering how he ended up in Altrincham as there is no port near there.

Hi Alice
Leave it with me.

Hi Alice
Well the short answer is nothing! I've looked through all the marriages from 1851 to 1861 and cannot see anything remotely likely.
I had a look at the Jersey Seamans Pension Fund and can see a James (his brother from Dorset?) but not a William. This doesn't mean he wasn't a seaman but that he wasn't on a Jersey registered ship.

Hi Stewart
Once again thank you for your time and effort it really is appreciated. Finding William and Elizabeth's marriage record is proving ellusive and I think this brings the Jersey research to an end.
William and Elizabeth however, had over 40 years together and 7 out of 9 children who survived into adulthood and their line continues to the present day. But without your help I would always be wondering what happened to his parents and siblings. Thanks again!
regards
Alice
