Here are the details from the marriage certificate

St Helier Town Church 03/01/1891

William George Hodgson, aged 21, bachelor, occupation Bandsman in the South Lancashire Regiment, living in St Helier, born in Liverpool. Father Thomas Hodgson - Wheelwright

Louisa Rachel Amy, aged 19, spinster, occupation Domestic Servant, living and born in St Helier. Father Francis George Amy - Sailor

Witnesses Rose Le Bris and J. Blampied

I have found baptisms in Jersey for 8 of William and Louisa's children, even tho' she says she's only given birth to 7 on the 1911. In addition 2 more, the oldest and youngest were born in England.

If they married in Jersey I should be able to find it tomorrow when I will be at the Archive.

Q. How can I obtain a Jersey Birth / Marriage / Death certificate ?

A. The Civil Registration of Births Marriages and Deaths of all the twelve parishes in Jersey commenced in August 1842. The law governing Civil Registration in Jersey was updated in 2001. when the Marriage and Civil Status (Jersey) Law 2001 was passed. Copies of all the Registers are maintained by:
The Superintendent Registrar,
10 Royal Square
St Helier
Jersey
JE2 4WA
(Tel: +44 (0) 1534 441335)

If you can supply the exact names, date and place of the event (or the index reference numbers) the fee for supplying an extract from the records is £20 per certificate. Please include postage and handling fee: For U.K. 50p, for Europe £1, elsewhere £2.

If research is required, this is charged as follows: Searching for a Birth or Death covering a five-year period is £10, searching for a Marriage covering a five-year period is £20. Fees for extracts and research are payable by sterling cheque drawn on a British Bank in favour of the 'Treasurer of the States', or by British Postal Order.

There is at present no facilities for on-line requests but the Superintendent Registrar will be offering an email enquiry service soon.
Volumes of the Reference Indexes are available also at the Jersey Archive and the Société Jersiaise.

You'll need to get his marriage cert.............for father's name.

The name is too common to pinpoint him pre-1891
