Charlotte Jaques, born Dublin 1808

[capritt]

Trying to find the birth record for Charlotte jaques born 8 April 1808. Do not have parents details and that is what I am trying to find out. According to newspaper report of her death in Australia in 1902 she was born in Dublin (Whether that means county or city I don't know). Her father is reported to have come to Ireland during the French Revolution but we believe her mother was Irish.

She had a brother John who was a gilder and carver and he still resided in Dublin City c1841-1870. Charlotte married a john Black, a Blacksmith and the family lived in Port Stewart for some time (at least the last 4 of their 10 children were born in Port Stewart between 1846-1854.) They immigrated to Australia in 1858 on board the Frenchman.

Any help would be appreciated.

Portstewart in Co. Londonderry is quite a distance from Dublin.
According to obituary in Coleraine Chronicle, 26 Nov.1864, John Black (blacksmith, aged 65 years) died 7 Sept.1864 at Port Lincoln, South Australia.

Shaw's Directory 1850 shows a Zachariah Jaques (a carver) at 68 Jervis Street Dublin.
Any help?

Thanks for all the info. We think there might be a connection between Zachariah and our Jaques but are yet to confirm what it might be.

Is there any way to access the Coleraine Chronichles online as this might help with children's birth announcements etc.?

I will look into whether the John mentioned is our John.
Thanks

Coleraine Chronicle (started 1844) is not online but I already checked for births and none published (very few people put in birth notices at such an early date). Also checked Londonderry Sentinel (started 1829).

Thanks for that. Does it give any details about John Black in the obit notice for him?

No more detail than what I posted- death notices at that time were very brief.
