St. Peter Port Baptism/Birth - Fitzpatrick
« on: Sunday 01 December 24 10:50 GMT (UK) »
My father-in-law has Guernsey ancestors and is a quite close DNA match (maybe 3rd cousins) to a couple of people descended from John Maurice Heulard Fitzpatrick (who was apparently a successful speedway racer). They don't have any details of his parents.

Please could someone with access 1920s records of baptisms or birth registrations look him up for us. Interested in parents' names and ideally mother's maiden name (maybe Heulard??).

I've put the bare bones of what I know on WikiTree:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fitzpatrick-6007

According to various sources he was born 19 Mar 1926 in St. Peter Port.

Thanks,

James

There is an entry for a John M H Fitzpatrick born 1926 on the 1939 register in Hendon, Middlesex living with a female who is probably his mother.  The date of birth agrees with his passage to Australia

Maybe Gabriele Rosalie Giller bn c1890 who is living in St Peter Port in 1921.  I am not allowed to post the 1921 census details but there is a Heulard connection on that families entry

Thanks Rosie,

I had looked for him on the 1939 Register on Ancestry and not found him. They're completely mistranscribed, for example as "Patrick Gabrielle U R J Fitz" for his mother (in the image the surname is obviously one word as Fitzpatrick, the U and the J are the tails of letters in the redacted line above).

I think I know the link now, I have a Gabrielle Rosalie Gilles (her mother's maiden name was Heulard), who was a sister of my father-in-law's great grandfather. I have her date of birth as 28 Jul 1890, but this could be mistranscribed from elsewhere.

That transcription is horrendous.   We just need her marriage now and/or Johns baptism  :)

ADDED At least FindMyPast only got the last letter of the surname wrong in 1921.  I will report it  :)
