Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Re: Bilingual marriage records
« on: Sunday 29 April 18 18:49 BST (UK)  »
It would vary! Jersey's population has been a mix of English and French families for a long time. And people in St Helier would be more likely to be English-speaking while people in the rural areas were more likely to be French-speaking.

If you had, say, an English soldier marrying an English-speaking girl from St Helier, the record would likely be in English. But if a Frenchman who'd come to the island to work married a French-speaking girl from a rural parish, it'd be in French. I have both scenarios among my own ancestors!

The Common Room / Re: Impossible Brickwall

That's an interesting bit of context for the banns with Maria Todd...

I know this is an old thread but I too am trying to find Robert RR! He is my 5xgreat-grandfather, through his eldest daughter Mary Ann.

She was already married to a Jerseyman, Elie De la Lande, by the time the rest of the family moved to London. Sadly she died young in 1832 - I'm descended from her daughter Mary Ann Sophia (also her only child who survived to adulthood).

Dublin / Cassidys in Dublin
« on: Tuesday 15 February 11 23:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hi... does anyone have any information (or sources) on Elizabeth (known as Lily) Cassidy, or Gertrude (Gerry) Cassidy? They were sisters, both working as nurses and living in Dublin.

I'm not sure of the dates but it would be early 1900s. The family may originally be from Co. Fermanagh.

Any help would be appreciated.
