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 :)

I've had a look Allan but it seems the register doesn't cover the Channel Islands.

The online 1939 Register only covers England and Wales.

Does anyone know if there is any work being done to make the Scottish 1939 records be brought online? I wondered if anyone knew any news re ScotandsPeople, for example?

However, the German occupation registration cards for the Jersey residents in 1940 are online and searchable, but I can't find any matches for the name Fahy or Fahey:

No, I couldn't find any either. Here are all the Fs:

Also, there are these people listed at the address you mentioned:

Doris Lucie de la Mare, 23 Nov 1910, 8 Jan 1941, 7, Lempriere Street, St Helier
Kenneth Walter Duquemin, 24 Oct 1900, 8 Jan 1941, 7, Lempriere Street, St Helier
Louisa Blanche Duquemin, 11 Sep 1901, 8 Jan 1941, 7, Lempriere Street, St Helier
AD *name removed*, 12 Dec 1924, 8 Jan 1941, 7 Lempriere Street, St Helier
BGE *name removed*, 4 Feb 1924, 11 Jan 1941, 7, Lempriere Street, St Helier

I think this is a probate entry, but I couldn't get the page to open (this is just the google index bit)

Helda Le Moignan, 7 Lempriere Street, St Helier - 28 February 1947

Merry, shouldn't you remove the names of the two with post-1918 dates of birth?

My 5g grandma has the surname Fahey. It was transcribed as Teaghy. I wasted years of searching for her and then I was able to see the original and realised the error.

Not that it helped me. The parish registers for the place where she was born have been destroyed for a 30 odd year period so I can't go past her parents.
