I am trying to find out for a friend any information about Ida Jasmine Davies who died on the Island of Jersey would like to know year of death and parish she died in also if anyone had any contacts with her many thanks-Stephen Marden

Look in search trees which is under the.search heading above the boards to see if anyone has her or any family members in their tree

You can then send a message by clicking on the find out more box

For info the Channel Islands keep their own records and not many are online

Without any sort of time frame it is.very difficult to point you on the right direction.

The Jersey Heritage website may help you.

In which century, please?

What else is known about the woman?

Birth year, birthplace, married - or not?

Have you done anything yourself in the way of research?

From the National Archives website

Births, marriages and deaths in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man
This is a guide to finding records of births, marriages and deaths in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not part of the United Kingdom and have their own currencies and legal systems, but are dependencies under the Crown. They come under the jurisdiction of the Registrar General of England and Wales for census but not civil registration purposes.

There are NO birth, marriage or death records for the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man available to see online.

If Ida died before 1940 on Jersey you may find the death on www.theislandwinki.org

If she was on the island during occupation then I believe the id cards may be available.

If she died much more recently you will need to apply to the Jersey States authorities.

Thank you for your comments as far as I know she died around 2000 or so her maiden name was Barber father's name Arthur V Barber she had a sister Elsie Lavender Barber she also had two children as far as I know they live in the USA-Stephen Marden

A very basic tree on Ancestry says that Elsie was born 1921, and Ida in 1916.
No place of birth given.
Ida is listed as Jasmine (no Ida) and Elsie just as Elsie.

No other info about them, apart from parents' names: Arthur Varasour Barber(1886–1957) and Edith Alice Blake(1884–1969).

Apparently their father also had a son with an unnamed woman;
Stephen Barber 1915. No POB given.

However, this is no help with finding Ida's death details.

As I said earlier, you will need to apply to the Jersey authorities www.gov.je

As you don’t know when she died this could be quite costly.

You may find a death notice in the Jersey Evening Press.
