Osborne
Archibald Reginald Osborne was born in Jersey in 1868, the son of Edward (1825- ) and Susan Ann Eliza, nee Symes (1827-1906). The family emigrated to Foxton, New Zealand where Archibald and his brother Edmund were tailors. Archibald married Esther Withers in 1904.
This report appeared in a local newspaper:"Tailor and Mercer, Main Street Foxton. This business was established in the year 1892, and is conducted in a fine shop, which carries a large stock of imported and colonial materials. Mr Osborne is well known for his reliable workmanship, and gives constant employment to several persons. He was born in Jersey, Channel Islands, in August 1867, and was educated and brought up to clerical work. In 1882 he came to New Zealand and settled in Foxton, where for ten years he was employed by his brother, a draper and clothier, latterly as manager of the clothing department. Mr Osborne has been connected with the local Primitive Methodist Church since 1883, is a trustee of the lodge of Oddfellows, and has also been a member of the Orders of Druids and Good Templars. He is married, and has two daughters."

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.

Origins of surname
This is a medieval English surname of Viking origins. It is derived from the Norse personal name Asbiorn, composed of the elements As= 'god' and Bjorn = 'the bear. The Vikings were keen on names which indicated strength and conquest. The name was also recorded in Normandy, but the family in one of the trees below originated neither in England, nor Normandy, but were of German descent. Their surname started life as Asbrandt, and was anglicised when they moved to England.
Early records
The name first appeared in Jersey records in the mid-17th century and families were established in St Martin and Grouville. They appear to have died out, and new lines were established in the 19th century. One of these started with soldier William Osborne, who married Mary Hubert in St Helier in 1806.

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
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
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
