Find Ancestors

So you KNOW who his parents were (that wasn't clear from your wording)...............if you read the first page of this thread, you will see that someone has posted his birth registration ;-) ;-)

I'm sure Julie will be delighted to hear from you..............if she is able to receive your message

Thank you for your help, I've sent Julie a message, yes I'm 100% sure as I have birth/ death certificate :-)

Julie probably won’t be looking now for responses on this 9-year-old thread. Click on her name and send a message and if she still uses the e-mail she registered with GR, she will be notified

Regarding your research…..do you have your father’s birth cert? It will confirm the names of his parents

Hello Julie
Have you had any luck with your research?
We've just starting looking for family members and I believe my farther is the first child of Barbara Phoebe Abraham and Wilfred Henry may , from her first marriage.
Kind regards Emma May.

Valid point.........and of course the situation in the CI at the time may have made it the pragmatic option.......

Grandma was Jewish - Dad was baptised.

Further back some parts of the family had their children baptised but on the 1911 declared themselves Jewish and British subjects

Like all matters of religion - its down to personal belief and circumstances.

Can I just point out that there won't normally be a church baptism record for a child of the Jewish faith.........which is matriarchal

Good links thanks

Try googling. This link is quite interesting.

Other than purchasing the BC, the only option is to try and find a baptism record.

There is a chance that the child wasn't baptised, and it's highly unlikely that 1950's images would be on line. You'd need to look at all available church records locally probably In person. Even then there is no guarantee that a baptism took place in a 'local' church. .

Cheaper to buy the BC ;-)

Also the German occupation of Jersey must have been difficult for this Jewish family. Are there records I can look at that will tell me what happened to the family? Barbara had two children from her 1st or 2nd Marriage not sure what happened to them ?

I know how to order a cert thanks. Just wanted to know how to cross ref with another source.

You would need to buy the birth certificate.

You can order them online from the GRO (£9.25) using the volume and page number:

Jun 1948 Abraham Barbara P May Norton 7c463

I'm looking for children born to this marriage

BMD comes up with
Births Sep 1951
MAY Alan D Abraham Battersea 7c 60

Is there anyway to find out the mothers 1st name ?

I think there may have been a child born in her 1st marrage

Yes it looks correct I think I remember Marguerite her sister. Think her mum was also called Barbara but not 100% sure.

Is the Jersey info I posted earlier the correct family then?

Thanks everyone for your help :-D

Trice is my error that's Trevor Rands mums name

Yes the 3rd marriage is correct, I knew Trevor Rands.

Thank you
