If you tell me who you are looking for I can check the birth indexes for you. There were no civil registrations here before 1842 so it may be a case of hoping that he was baptized.

It's also worth noting that Ancestry are particularly bad at transcribing Channel Island surnames, especially those derived from French.

Researching:
Basébé, Butcher, Johnson, Dubber (London) Milford (Devon and Cornwall) Shardlow, Hague, Holmes, Capenhurst (Derbyshire) Smith, Jennnings, Keylock, Bullock (Gloucestershire)

Can anybody help with this. On the 1911 census it has my grandfather being born in Jersey,Channel Islands in the 1840's but I cannot find any birth evidence and he is not in any of the UK or Channel Islands census.
Hoping someone can shed some light on this
