Post by: auntie bertie on Thursday 18 June 15 17:04 BST (UK)
I'm looking for an Emily Jellett b Malta 1818. 
By 1835 she was in Selsey,Sussex married to a Joseph Hart.
I can only assume a naval connection.  Any ideas please?

Thanks I have all marriage and census details where she clearly says she was born in Malta in each one.  I have found a James Jellett b 1822 living in the same village as she is..so now exploring idea that father was in military and posted to Malta and came back with illegitimate daughter -as there is a Thomas Jellett (father of James) getting married in 1818 in same village......

Bingo - found her parents marriage in Malta in 1812.  I'm sorry for thinking you were illegitimate Emily....!

But you probably have all that info?

Try - http://maltafamilyhistory.com/

On FindMyPast it has her name as MAGDALEN but that could be an error or perhaps they made the name sound more English when they moved here?

I have a Madeleine Coleiro death card somewhere, I got it through my mum, I don't know how she sits in my Family apart from we do have Coleiros in our family. my great grandparents where Coleiro's and going further back they also inter- married with my mothers side of libreri's in Malta.
I do know that in Malta the name you name be given at Birth can differ from the name they use on Documents and by what others knowthem as so it can confussing.
The Coleiro's in my family were known to be living in Valletta , Floriana, Pieta they had a furniture stores in these areas in the early 1900s.
