My grandmother was Florence Emily Campbell. She was born in Alderney. Her father was James Campbell from Ireland. Her mother was Jane Catherine Nolan, and Jane's mother was Jane Catherine Renier, married Michael Nolan and she was the daughter of Richard Renier and Jeanne (Jeanneton) Le Huquet. Jeanne was born in Jersey (St. Martin) in 1807 and from some research I've done, her parents were Jean Le Huquet and Elizabeth Noel. I'm trying to find out more about them. Is any one in this group related to my family? ... See MoreSee Less

I've received an email from Canada about Alma Sauvey, born 6 October 1922 in St Helier. Her family say she was deported to a French prison for listening to the radio. I've checked the prison records, political prisoner log, court martial records and her registration card (etc etc) in Jersey and there's no sign of any deportation. Yet the family have sent me a 1945 newspaper article about her on her release in January 1945. Is anyone in Jersey related to her? I've seen her mother's Alien's Card and her registration card. ...
