Descendants of John Bishop

From Jerripedia

This tree was added to the site in September 2017 after checking against parish records. Honor, or Honour, whose middle name was Hoar, is shown in Jersey baptismal records and at her marriage in England as Edmunds. She is not to be confused with another Honor, whose maiden name was Riggs, who married an English John Bishop and remained in that country

In common with the majority of our trees, this descendancy has been subject to regular review by site editors and checked against Jersey church records. Trees including French ancestry have also been checked as far as possible against French primary records. It is not always possible to carry out such checks on sections of trees with United Kingdom and/or colonial content

Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

One of John Bishop`s three younger sons, James, followed his father to sea
↑ Honor Hoare Edmunds` bridegroom was described on the 5th January 1812, in Hampshire, England, Allegations for Marriage Licenses, 1689-1837, (available online at www.ancestry.co.uk), as John Bishop of St Brelade, Jersey, aged 21 [born therefore about 1789/90]. John Bishop`s genealogy is given in Descendants of Anthoine Bishop. Honor returned to England, as a widow, to live in Portsea Island. She was described in censuses as "Proprietor of Houses" (1851) and "Annuitant, [living on] Interest on Life Property" (1861)
↑ William Henry Bishop was a Cabinet Maker in Church Street, St Helier, in 1841. In 1851, William was working as an Upholsterer, living at 4, Church Street, and giving his place of birth as Exeter, Devon. He was christened in England (30/03/1815 at Harpford, Devon) to John Bishop and Honour, his wife, as was presumably his elder sister, Honour Hoar Bishop, before his father returned to Jersey

He had been married 16 years to Elizabeth, who had been born at Bethnal Green, whilst Edward gave St Helier, Jersey, as his place of birth. They had just the one child born of their union, Elizabeth Ellen Bishop, who was then aged 9 years. Edward`s death was recorded in Edmonton District in the last quarter of 1934, "aged 66"
