hi evie
well about your Hills give me somemore info on the names and dates, Ihave a hill in my tree born 1914 and a little info on some Hills born earlier

So I am indeed useless (I've given up on trying to trick the IGI into disclosing some secret thing, too, try though I did). But I've just been sucking up. I have this little Jersey problem of my own ...

Seriously! I do! I have a gr-grfather's sister consistently shown in the censuses as born in Jersey 1843ish. The parents were born in Cornwall and Devon, the next children were born in Devon and Cornwall, there's no marriage for the parents anywhere, and the daughter was born in Jersey.

If they ever married. If she's their daughter (or the daughter of one of 'em maybe).

Their name is Hill. In Cornwall/Devon, that's worse than Smith.

A year ago I was contacted through Ancestry by the grx2 granddaughter of the daughter in question, who had seen my notes all over her ancestors in the censuses. Until then, she didn't know her grx2 gm was a Hill. She'd always been told she was a Miss Montmorency from France, and she'd returned to France before she died. Well, she already knew that part was a crock; she'd found her years before, a widowed day nursery matron in Tranmere, where she died just after the 1901.

It's a family of strange stories, and that's but one. But ... if you are ever wandering around any archives in the Channel Islands and happen upon the marriage or birth of any Hills ... or Montmorencys ... well ... ;) ;) ;)

hi evie
i have googled and googled,yes there are a lot of Barassins in France i have joined french sites contacted some french people with the name with no luck wrote to calvados but they can't help with no fathers name for auguste you name it i have done it ,makes you want to scream thanks anyway for trying

Have you googled? ;)

http://www.nom-famille.com/nom-barassin.html

Données par département
Calvados (14) Barassin est le 3 017ème nom 58 pers.
Cher (18) Barassin est le 4 283ème nom 33 pers.
Yonne (89) Barassin est le 4 656ème nom 39 pers.
Essonne (91) Barassin est le 9 405ème nom 46 pers.
Paris (75) Barassin est le 21 991ème nom 62 pers.

(I'm assuming you read French.)

A grand total of fewer than 250 Barassins in France now. Which isn't the same total as the site gives:

En France : 171 personnes portent le nom de famille Barassin selon nos estimations


Quite a few of 'em on Facebook!

You never know -- there might be one who knows who his/her ancestors circa 1800 were.

i did not mean to send you on a wild goose chase . I thought i made it clear when i said i was looking for there voyage from France, I am trying to go backwards I know sometimes you need to come forwards to get there,But i really am at the end of the road on this one,and out of all the volenteers i thought you would be able to help,you seem to know your stuff
once again the goosechase was unintentional and thankyou for trying

The thing is, all this is known to you -- but not to anyone else!

We didn't know that you knew about family in Canada because you didn't mention it. So finding that there was, and is, family in Canada is certainly something that seemed, to AnnGG and me, worth mentioning and getting clear on. Sometimes, finding modern day family with passed-down knowledge is the only way to find the olde things.

You didn't provide the actual census details in the Channel Islands, so I went hunting for them to see what they said about birthplaces, for instance, to see whether there were any clues.

As for the real meat of your question -- we sorry provincials hereabouts aren't likely to be able to help much with continental records, I'm afraid. ;)

Just had a look at my notes Auguste emmigrated ontario 1880
His full name Auguste Albert Joseph Barassin

But Please don't let this one concern you,I don't need info on him Just His Father Auguste Theodore Barassin

Hi Evie
Yes auguste the son Married in alderney to susan Ozard in 1877 had Two children then went to canada c1879 they are the right family,But my concerns are only about the father ,Yes they are all the family,I have all info and dates,But it is tracking down his fathers birth and marriage that i am stuck on
Auguste Theodore Barassin to Desiree Agnes ,Alfred Barassin the son is my line,I have everything on this family to the present day ,All the Barassins in the islands originate from Auguste Theodore Barassin.born France, So anyone researching the family are going to get stuck once they reach him,I have been searching for several years and really need help,He is a huge thorn in my side,putting it mildly

I'm not quite clear about the Canadian angle.

The son/brother Auguste did go to Canada - ?

For purposes of the 1881 Canadian census, it's likely that the individual and/or the enumerator would not have distinguished between the Channel Islands and England.

I don't imagine there were any other Barassins in the vicinity! So I would think that 1881 household would have to be your man. Do the wife and children not match up with the modern-day Canadian family's info?

Looks like Auguste married in the mid-1870s and had children before emigrating.

evie
that is not alfred in jersey,I have him in 1871 in Alderney age 15 with his parents and his brother 20yrs
In 1881 Auguste and desiree are living apart
Desiree is in alderney on her own and Auguste is living with his son Alfred ,auguste died 1 yr later

the census that ann found 1881 is the son it says born england but they were born Alderney
Auguste and Alfred are the only surviving children there were 2 more i found but they died in infancy
Alfred
One of his children Thomas who died 1 yr had 2 godparents
Thomas Barassin and Elizabeth Barassin could be cousins to alfred or Aunty and Uncle Brother and sister to Auguste Theodore

Auguste died in Guernsey 1882 no father on death cert
Desiree Died in alderney 1895
I have no problem with any info so far But it is there marriage in France and his birth in france that i am unable to find,I need his marriage to find out who his father was

the census from evie are correct all are family evan the son in canada I am intouch with that family and they have the same problem as me
We cannot find where he Auguste was born .I have checked all the census's and i must say the original ones here in Guernsey and they do differ a little from ancestry specially 1861 where on the original census it says
Auguste T Barassin 42 yrs born France
Desiree A 36 yrs born gy
Auguste 7 yrs born ald
Alfred 4 yrs born ald

There are two Barrassin telephone listings in all of Canada at present -- both in Ontario, but in the area north and east of Toronto (one, anyway; the area code covers all of northern/northwestern Ontario), rather than southwest of Toronto where the 1881 census record was. Not surprising that there would be relocation in 100+ years, if it's the same family. ;)

AnnGG, that one you found could be the son who is 7 yrs old in the 1861 census!

I don't see him in the UK censuses after that.

Is it him, Catheine?

Hi Anne
I have searched the orginal census 1841 and 1851 in Guernsey which also covers Alderney !851 census says he was born France and a merchant of vegtables,
On the birth of his fist Child it says Auguste theodore Barassin .another var/Barrasin
Desiree Agnes his wife was born in guernsey 1825 to Desire Agnes c1804 and Marie Magdelaine Le Neveu ,both married in Guernsey.Desire Agnes is the son of Jean Agnes Equerdreville Manche Normandy,
One year after Desiree's 1825 birth Her father married Jeanne Le Neveu in 1826,I have discovered that after Desire the father died she must have gone back to France with the family.In 1842 from a constable report Jeanne returned to Guernsey on board a vessal from Cherbourg and was arrested for being drunk on board the vessal and after the hearing was deported back to France.
she later returned in 1845 and died here.
I know there are connections to Le Neveu/Roger/Agnes/Pitron /Du pont/Mesnil/ but these could be on Desiree's side .The Barassin's are a mystery,there are a few in France,but i cannot pinpoint him down
