marrage lookup please De Cartert & Cooke

[SimoneLe]

Hi.
Would someone please be able to look up the marrage date of Thomas Peter De Carteret (DOB 6/9/1856 in Sark) to a Annie Cooke (DOB no idea).
 I have my husbands Great grandmothers birth certificate which gives Annie Cooke as her mother but the info i found on another site has Thomas married to a Anne Eliza Des Caudville (no marrage date) with two of the ten child having Des Caudville as their last name and the rest named De Carteret.
I'm assuming that Annie Cooke was another marriage to Thomas that is not listed on that site.
ANY help is soooooooooo muchly appreciated.
Simone.

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.

Hi Simone

I happened to be in the library of the Societe Jersiaise this afternoon doing some research and thought I would check to see if there was a marriage in Jersey for TPDeC. Sadly there was not.

But.....

I came across some papers donated by the wife of Roger De Carteret in 2006 which details the family tree of the De Carterets of Sark going back to 1576. I can see Thomas  and Annie Eliza Descaudville. Thomas was born 1856 and died 1906. Alongside the marriage date is a question mark!! So even they didn't know what it was.

For the record they had 8 children:

Thomas b 1885
Clifford b 1887
Henry b 1889 d 1915
Edwin b 1890 d 1891
Wilby b 1892
James Abram b 1894 d 1969 m 1922 in Guernsey to Doris Baudin
Evalina (no date) born in Guernsey
Edith (no date) born in Guernsey



Thomas's parents were William (1817 - 1890) and Esther Denise Carre.



How far do you want to go back??

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.
