Greetings from France,
Excuse my poor English...
I hope I post in the appropriate thread. If not, please displace it à the right place. I sincerely apologise if I make any mistake or misconduct.
I am looking for information about members of my family who lived in Jersey (Channel Islands) during the 19th Century. They bear the name TIREL, which is common both in Jersey and in Normandy. They probably did emigrate during the French Revolution.
One of them was Hervé TIREL. This 1st name “Hervé” is of French style.
He is mentioned on the St-Helier 1841 Census. He is noted as Harvey TIREL, born around 1815, “sea man”.
it seems that he is also mentioned in the United Kingdom, Merchant Navy Seamen Records, 1835-1941 as born in Jersey in 1814.
Could anyone help me by a look up at the « UK Merchant Navy Seamen Records » ?
It seems that Hervey is filed under 2 first names (Hervey & Harvey) :
Harvey TIREL from Jersey file number : 004620367
Hervey TIREL from Jersey file number : 004620618
I would be very pleased to get the informations of the registers (I positively don't know what do these records look like nor if they are available at the present day...) or to get an image of the records, of course, if it is possible.
Best regards
Antoine
