Armed Forces / 2nd Battalion, 57th Regiment - Jersey early 1800's
« on: Wednesday 16 September 09 06:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Is there a site online that contains enlistment details for the 57th regiment, 2nd division that was stationed in Jerset in / around 1806? I'm interested to know if such records contain the birth year and place of a person who had enlisted.

I have a John Henry Hook of the above mentioned regiment marrying Susan Picot in 1806, and I would like just a little more info to confirm that he is the John Henry I'm looking for.

Thank you for any help.  Jenny

Stewart,

Thank you very much for the information. As Henry James is a common name thoughout the family, I think this maybe my guy. Your time taken for looking up this information is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Stewart, Thank you Trish for your responses.

Stewart, are you be able to confirm if there were any children christened at the same church with parents of John Henry and Susan? My thinking is that if there were other children they may have been born in Jersey.

daughter Mary b 1899 (reg # 17450) at Clifton Hill
Lilias died 1943 (reg # 15251) at Ballarat aged 83

The John and William marriages below are selected based on them being born in Ballarat.

John m Elizabeth Frances Emslie 1891 (reg # 545)

William m Catherine Grainger 1889 (reg # 3399)
daughter Isabel b 1890 (reg # 19471) at Ballarat East

Donald Ferguson, Donald Hector and Mary are buried in the Coburg Cemetery

Kate Dunn (f Robert / m Catherine Mckinley) died 1938 (reg # 17683) at Beechworth aged 72 - this could be Catherine Dunn with the incorrect age

Janet Vippond (f Robert / m Catherine Mckinley) died 1920 (reg # 6851) - have not found a birth or marriage record for Janet

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Completed: Marriage Lookup early 1800's - Hook
« on: Wednesday 09 September 09 09:31 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for the marriage of Henry Hook (b. 1786)  to a Susan (b. 1785). Henry was born in Sussex, but in the 1851 census it states that Susan was born in Jersey. I haven't been able to find a marriage in Sussex, so I thought they may have been married in Jersey. They had one child as far as I am aware, Frederick (b. 1818 in Sussex). Both Henry and Susan dies in Sussex in 1858.

Can anyone point me in a direction where I might be able to track down if this marriage did occur in Jersey. Thank you.

In the Vic Pioneers Index, there is a Robert Dunn death in 1871 (Reg no. 2019) aged 50, born TYRO but lists parents as unknown. I looked in the Federation and Edwardian indexes up to 1913 but neither list any deaths for a Robert Dunn with the parents you have listed.

Also in the pioneers index are children born to a Robert Dunn and Catherine McKinley, all born at Ballarat. There is Margaret (1857), Catherine (1858), Lilias (1861), John (1863), William (1867) and Mary (1870). I cannot find a marriage between these two, so they may not be related to the Robert Dunn you are searching for, but just in case I have given you the info.
