Thanks, Bex and Likewise I'll keep a note of your names. These Jeffery people are very elusive!

Hi. I have a Sarah Ellen Jeffrey born about 1854 who married Joseph Henry Orchard in 1878.  Sarah's father was John Jeffrey.  I can't get anywhere with these Jeffrey's so thought it was worth checking whether you might have come across them with your Jeffery side. Regards
Kerry

Thanks for reply, Damien.  I don't know a real lot but here goes:
John Orchard b. 1798. Week, St Mary.
He was a blacksmith & at some stage ended up in Jersey, Channel Islands.
Married Mary McConkey of Scotland at St Helier Parish Church 19.04.1835.
Only know of one child Joseph Willoughby Orchard b. 21.03.1836 in Jersey (actually this is probably my next step to get an actual copy of his birth certificate & perhaps find more details on his parents).
John died 21.08.1855 at Southampton.  He was 57 years old & had suffered bronchitis for 11 years.

John's son Joseph, eventually went to South Africa and there were a few generations there until some ended up in Australia. I know so much about the Orchard's after England but would really like to learn more about my Cornish connection.  As I said not a real lot to go on but thanks for assistance.

Thanks for your suggestion.  I have searched through any online Census Info, but have not found anyone who could be Sarah Jeffrey and of course a bit hard to know with John Jeffrey as don't have date of birth and it's such a common name. Won't give up yet!

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / JEFFREY of Southampton

Please help if you can.  Am searching for any info on the following:

Sarah Ellen JEFFREY married Joseph Henry ORCHARD in 1878 at St Peters, Southampton.  She was 'apparently' born 24.12.1854, Southampton.  Her father was John JEFFREY, a Steward.

Would love to be able to get past the brick wall I've hit with these JEFFREY'S, so will be grateful for any new leads.

Thanks
Kezza

Hitting a brick wall with my Cornish Interests:

I have a James TRUSCOTT who married a Mary Ann WHITFORD in Cornwall.  They later had children christened at Par: Frederick 1856, Elizabeth 1862, David 1864, James Crowle 1865, Ellen Jane 1866.  They migrated to Australia in 1873.   I have not found this family in any on-line Census records.  Have not found marriage for James & Mary Ann or births - I do know that Mary Ann was born about 1835.

Totally unrelated to the above, I am looking for a John ORCHARD born 1798 at Week St Mary.  He ended up in Jersey, Channel Islands marrying a Mary McConkey in 1835 having one child that I know of Joseph Willoughby Orchard in 1836.  He was older than usual for those times when he married Mary so perhaps this was even his second marriage.

I desperately want a new lead on any of the above so please contact me if you've come across any of these names.

Thanks
Kezza, Qld.
