You are responding to an thread that is 11 years old .

The poster only has one post so is unlikely to be a member now


If you need help then it would be better to start your own thread enquiry giving all info you know about the family or person you are looking for


But Channel island isn't part of the uk ,they hold their own records

Is this part of the same family ???
