I thought this was the right Mary:
Staffordshire: Rowley Regis - Parish Registers, 1685-1771/2
 Burialls, 1655.
  Rowley Regis Parish Register.
   April.
County: Staffordshire
Country: England
23 Mar 1712 Mary, d. of John & Jane Woodhouse bap.


That's the same information that I have too, taken from the Rowley Regis Parish Register.

I' have got most of my Jersey family lines back to the early 1500s now, some beyond that too. This excellent resource on Jerripedia is a boon for any genealogists with ancestry in the island... Mike Bisson has added scans of the majority of the baptisms from parish registers now, with marriages and burials to follow. If only every area of the British Isles was this organised :grin: http://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Family_records

I will have to look again for my wife's relatives. I was paying people to scour the Jersey archives a few years ago.

My earliest one is John Willetts b about 1515 in Rowley Regis. He married Marjery Grove. There are links to the Garrat family on my tree too. It's on BCC.

The guy behind it is hoping to have a fully indexed and searchable database of all available baptisms, marriages and burials by April 2013. It'll be an absolute boon to people like us who can't get to Jersey very often. What families do you link to in Jersey then?

Ingrouille.

Seems most of them were Guernsey with a couple ending up on Jersey.

Particularly interested in Artimes Ingrouille who was aide-de-camp to the Victorian Governor in Australia for only a short time before dying of pneumonia in 1861.

He was born in St Peter Port in abt 1827 but is rumored to have married some lass on Jersey before marrying an Irish girl in Australia in 1858.

It was not uncommon for people to "forget" their families over the other side of the world and settle with somebody new in Australia.

Ingrouille is one of those surnames that has a billion interpretations and subject to the whim of whatever clerk is writing it down.
