Kia ora! (Hello from New Zealand) My ancestor William Robert Collings came from St Helier, Jersey and settled in St Heliers, Auckland, New Zealand.
He was born in 1852 in Jersey, and came to New Zealand in 1875.
The family story is he is from Sark but birth registered in Jersey. However census records have him in St Helier as a child.
His parents were Joseph Collings born 1818, and Celia Cheval (Shivall, Shervell, Low, Shirvell, Shiwell, Collins) born abt 1820 St Peter Port, Guernsey.
Does anyone have them in their family tree, or can add any more information?
We assumed he was descended from the Collings/Collins in Sark, but now seems it is more likely Jersey.
Any information most appreciated, thank you 🙂

Do you know if the Channel Islands will be included?
Hello, I am from Canada and am searching for any information on my Huguenot ancestors. According to my DNA results, I share some DNA from the Channel Islands. I believe one of my ancestors, André Poupard/Poupart, married Susanne Bouffard at St. Martin, Jersey on June 7, 1732. I am not certain if this is where my dna from CI comes from or elsewhere? How can I find more information on the Poupard/Poupart's and Bouffard families in Jersey? TIA ... See MoreSee Less
Can anyone help?

143 years of historic French newspaper to be digitised
www.bailiwickexpress.com
The Société Jersiaise has begun a project to digitise every edition of the island’s historic French-language newspaper by the end of 2022.
De Jersey, Le Quesne, De Carteret and others.
What began as a conversation with my grandmother Joy (nee de Jersey) O’Brien, about 40 years ago and continuous research from then, I have finished (if we ever finish family research) writing a 4 volume book on my ancestors from Normandy and the Channel Islands. These lineages came about from the emigration of Charles de Jersey [son of Peter & Sophia (Nee Fisher) de Jersey, of Mon Plaisir, Guernsey, later London] and Charlotte Golding [daughter of John and Ann Spencer (Nee Dawson) Golding of London], who landed in NSW in 1853c. Subequent to their marriage in NSW, the spent a period of time in New Zealand they eventually settled in Tasmania.
Without the assistance of Brian de Jersey of Guernsey, I would never have been able to untangle the tangled relationships of the de Jersey Clan world wide from its beginnings in about 1400. Thank you so much Brian. Other people around the world, have so selflesly shared their photos, stories and data, of our incredible family of both the de Jersey, Lequesne and de Carteret families - world wide.
I have just received a quote for the de Jersey and others stories and photos book I have written.
It is extremely expensive to print as it is 2,750 A4 pages, and it has to be bound into 4 hard bound volumes!!!
The research investigates our De Jersey ancestors, divided into the different lineages: Toilette line and the other lines; Mon Plaisir line (our line); The Le Quesne and de Carteret Line ancestors; the Australian de Jerseys and the Tasmanian de Jerseys.
Then there are also chapters on my Golding; Burnett and Stewart ancestors.
If any of you are interested let me know ASAP.
COST:
1) De Jersey book - ‘Saltwater in our veins - The de Jersey families, Ancestors from The Channel Islands to Tasmania, Australia.
Inclusive of postage and delivery,
$1,700 - $2,200 (depending on the numbers printed) for the 4 volume set.
2) USB - PDF copy - inclusive of Postage. This allows a single print of the book to be done.
$250
I hope this is appropriate to share on this page,
