Guernsey Look up Request: Philip and Eliza Harriet Leigh

[grey2]

I know Eliza Harriet Leigh was born in Guernsey in 1817 but I have not yet found a record. Can anyone help?
I suspect her brother Philip, born c 1812 was also born there and possibly their father Philip,(a merchant/sea captain from Dartmouth, Devon) was married in Guernsey too. The wider family had trading interests with Jersey/Newfoundland/Lisbon etc.
Have Guernsey records been put on- line and if so, where?

Apologies for the considerable delay- out of the country for a few weeks. Many thanks for your help, I am very grateful. I have no record of a George Leigh in the family so that is a big surprise and something to investigate! Just recently found another Guernsey baptism mystery related to the same family. A Sarah Savage Featherstonhaugh Leigh married a Benjamin Baynton in Exeter and had a daughter there in 1811. She was baptised in Guernsey in 1811 on 10 July St Peter Port. I was wondering if the record showed any other information? Sarah and Benjamin went on to live on Jersey in St Helier.

Should have said the daughter's name was Jane.

Guernsey records are not on line.

However the Maritime records by Keith Matthews are being loaded online.

Philip Leigh seems to be there:

Thank you very much indeed for this. Certainly gives us something to go on. I had almost given up hope of finding them....just goes to show that someone, somewhere will know!

Hi Grey2 Ive no idea if you will see this after all this time but Benjamin Baynton (Major) is one of my ancestors, he marries  Sarah Savage Fetherstonehaugh Leigh 2/feb/1811 when he is 54 years old. He has been previously married more than once. I suspect she has too. Benjamin dies in Feb 1817 and she remarries just a few months later to a chap Mr John Goodfellow. The daughters name(s) may be Jane Goodfellow Carew FEATHERSTONEHAUGH, but Im not sure.
