Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: marrage lookup please De Cartert & Cooke
« on: Thursday 29 January 09 20:58 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you Stewart for checking the Jersey registers for the DeCarteret-Cook marriage.

I've seen the baptism record for "Wilby" born 1892 and I think his name is Willy, middle name is Philip.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: Sark marriage circa 1864 please can anyone look up

Joan, Thank you for the information on Mary's death.

I had the information about their marriage because of a research project in the Channel Islands, not because of a genealogy interest, so learning what happened to Mary after she disappeared from the Channel Island records closes the book on her for me. 

Re: the pronounciation of Hamon - although I'm not sure what a Lanchashire accent sounds like, I've seen Hamon transcribed as Hammond before when written by English speaking people, such as census takers, but the name is definitely spelled Hamon in the Channel Islands and has been at least back to the 1500s.  I think of it as being pronounced as Hah-moan rather than Ham-an, but it's been a while since I've been in the Channel Islands so I can't swear to its pronounciation.

Joan, Glad I could help, I just discovered Rootschat yesterday and wasn't sure if you were still on the list.

By any chance do you have the date of Mary Hamon's death?

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 look up Sark for William Eaglen please

Unfortunately the 1861 census of Sark was lost or destroyed before the microfilm copies were made.  I don't believe any copies exist.

Hi,

The Sark marriage records are available for viewing at the Priaulx library in Guernsey.

William Eaglen and Mary Hamon (not Hammond) were married in Sark on Dec 11, 1864.  Mary is the daughter of Jean Hamon and Marie LeFeuvre, both from old Sark families.

Hi Simone,

In case you haven't received an answer to your 2007 query, I think I can help.

I also have looked for the marriage of Thomas Peter DeCarteret and Anne DesCaudeville in the Sark marriage records (and the Guernsey records) and haven't found it.  They are both in the 1881 Sark census as unmarried and in the 1891 census as married to each other.  Their first child was born on Sark in 1885.  Perhaps they were married on Jersey between 1881 and 1885.

Anne DesCaudeville and Anne Cook are the same person and the marriage of Thomas and Anne is the only marriage for both of them.  At this time in the Channel Islands you see the surname as DesCaudeville dit Le Cook (called Le Cook) or DesCaudeville dit Le Cocq and some dropped the DesCaudeville part and just went by Le Cocq or Cook as time went on.

The reason why the two oldest children have the DesCaudeville surname is that they are illegitimate and were born before 1881 so they have their mother's name (although Stephen is listed as DeCarteret in the 1891 census).  Their baptism records don't list a father.

Anne's birth date is Aug 13, 1859 and she was baptised Sept 7, 1859.  Her parents are James DesCaudeville of Sark and Jeanne Rouget from St Peter, Jersey.

Hope this information has helped.
