Good Morning
Can anybody tell me if the 1939 Register included Jersey please ?
I have recently watched The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie Literary Society - a wonderful story of Guernsey during WW2.
In 1972 I went to live in Jersey and stayed in 7 Lempriere Street,St Helier ( it's still there ) Our Landlady was Mrs Fahy - she was a local girl in WW2 but she told us her husband was Irish - he was taken by the Germans to build fortitied exrensions to Jersey Castle and Mont Orguiel Castle not long after they married - She never ever seen him again .
This lady - a wonderful gentle woman - never had any children and never married again - so after watching the film about Guernsey it brought back memories of Mrs Fahy ...a very very sad story and a very unhappy life that she had - so now I am curious - what was her birth name - what was her husbands name - when did they marry ?
I am hoping the 1939 register may be a start for me to do a little research on this lovely lady who was very good to my wife and I .
thanks for reading :)
