Direct links to lists of baptisms, marriages and burials for the Dale family can be found under Family Records opposite. If you want to search for records for a spelling variant of Dale, 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.
New records
From August 2020 we have started adding records from non-Anglican churches, and this process will continue as more records, held by Jersey Archive, are digitised and indexed. Our database now includes buttons enabling a search within registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These records will automatically appear within the results of any search made from this page.

In 1932, at the age of 15, Marcelle Dale was apprenticed to hairdresser Arthur Van Humbeeck, of 33 Queen Street, for three years. The arrangement cost her father Sydney Harold Dale a payment of £50 to Mr Humbeeck. With her wages set at 5s a week for the first 12 months, and 15s a week in the second year, this effectively meant that her father was paying them, and only if she continued in Mr Humbeeck's employment for a third year would it start to cost him money - £1 a week and commission at 1d in 1s on sales. -
In return, Mr Humbeeck undertook 'to teach or cause to be taught to the said apprentice the trade and profession of Hairdresser and Manicurist, together with instructions in massage and hair treatment'. Marcelle undertook 'to render faithful service to the best of her ability, to be obedient and careful and to exercise tact and diplomacy in the execution of orders and instructions and in the keeping of professional secrets'. The addition of the word 'one' above the three-year term in the document suggests that it may have been terminated by mutual consent at the end of the first year

John Dale was in business at 13 Union Street as a 'leather currier' from about 1895 until World War 2. The premises were previously occupied by E Dale. We believe that this was Edwin Dale, a renowned photographer -
Tips
The church record links above will open in a new tab in your browser and generate the most up-to-date list of each set of records from our database. These lists replace earlier Family page baptism lists, which were not regularly updated. They have the added advantage that they produce a chronological listing for the family name in all parishes, so you do not have to search through A-Z indexes, parish by parish.
We have included some important spelling variants on some family pages, but it may be worth searching for records for a different spelling variant. Think of searching for variants with or without a prefix, such as Le or De. To search for further variants, or for any other family name, just click on the appropriate link below for the first letter of the family name, and a new tab will open, giving you the option to choose baptism, marriage or burial records. You will then see a list of available names for that type of record and you can select any name from that list. That will display all records of the chosen type for that family name, and you can narrow the search by adding a given name, selecting a parish or setting start and end dates in the form you will see above. You can also change the family name, or search for a partial name if you are not certain of the spelling

New records
Since August 2020 we have added several thousand new records from the registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These will appear in date order within a general search of the records and are also individually searchable within the database search form
