Hi Sal

Thanks for your message. I've already searched that database and found quite a few of the people I expected to see there at the time but there are a number of relatives missing and sadly Jersey Heritage don't have a list of evacuees, only those who returned to Jersey after the war.

I've ordered a couple of the registration cards and am waiting with bated breath to see them. I'm hoping they'll include the photos taken at the time!
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hi

Sorry to but in on this thread.

I believe The Société Jersiaise Library have books on names of evacuees.

Can you confirm the surnames you are looking for and I will look them up on Thursday.

Hi Stewart.
That would be amazingly kind of you.

I'm looking for the surnames Hebert which may appear as Herbert or Hobart, and Denoual which could be listed as Denoval.

Thanks again.  Sam

Hi Hill,

I wondered if you could help me.

I'm looking for any details about my Scanlan/Scandlon/Scanderland/Scanlon (it's spelt a number of ways). They were in Saint Helier in Jersey (early 1800's). I am trying to find out if there are any marriages, baptisms, deaths or any other important information to be found amongst any records there. I joined the CIFHS and paid a researcher who couldn't find much - but I suspect that they may have overlooked things...

Best wishes,

John

Hi Sam

Sorry but I got it wrong. The list I was thinking of turns out to be the list of deportees, not evacuees.

I'm told that there is not formal record of evacuees.

Hi John

Could you post this as a seperate request please as it will get confused by the request for details on WWII.

Thanks.

Stewart

Hi Stewart,

I thought it was too good to be true.

Thanks for checking for me though.
