Post 1842 now beginning with St Martin, St John, St Brelade and Gouray Church. All censuses 1841-1891 (some have been published see About the Channel Islands FHS.) An Early Census: General Don’s Militia Survey of 1815. Gottlieb Marriage Indices (All Island 1700-1799) a. By Husband’s Name b. By Wife’s Name. See: Finding 18th Century Marriages Guernsey: Registers: St Peter Port and St Saviour fully indexed to 1842 – Castel, Forest and St Pierre Du Bois partly. All censuses 1841-1891 except 1871 (in preparation).
