Jersey birth certificates are obtained from the Superintendent Registrars Office, Royal Square, St Helier but we warned - they cost £20 each! It helps if you know the volume and page number and the only way of finding it is to physically search the indexes at the Jersey Archive or to get someone to do it for you.
If you are looking for a pre 1900 St Helier birth it may be on www.jerseyheritagetrust.jeron.je on their baptism index.
Unless you really want/need the certificate I suggest you post the details and one of us will have a look at it for you (no charge for looking) and send you the details.

Hi JerseyLily
Thats really helpful - as you say quite expensive is there any chance you can do a search for me, I have the details?

The wonderful site called Jerripedia has many St Helier births and I have found it the best site for family history research with many tree going a long way back.It is continually being added to.

Hello Linda
If you let me have the details, either here or by PM, I can have a look one day next week. I'm usually at the Archive at least once a week.
As Ringrose says Jerripedia also has St Helier baptisms, courtesy of the Archive, so the same information, Jerripedia is best when searching for family groups but The Archive site is better for picking out family relationships, ie who was godparent to whose child.
