Hi Phil,

If you go to the Jersey Heritage Trust website (name search) here:

http://jerseyheritagetrust.jeron.je/all_name.html

and search for Barrow you get this entry (Barrow, Ralph) for his will and a
codicil:

Higher Level Information
D/Y Judicial Greffe
D/Y/A Probate - pre 1949
D/Y/A/44 January 1884 - June 1885

Item refs D/Y/A/44/109
Item description Testament of Ralph Barrow, Provost Sergeant, South
Hill Provost Prison, St Helier. Dated: 25/03/1879. Bequeaths to James
Waterfield his Royal Arch Jewels apron and Gold Pastmasters jewel, presented
to him by the Royal Sussex Lodge. To Patrick Kent, his Grand and Blue Lodge
aprons, Mark Lodge Jewel and Good conduct medal. Codicil added: 02/03/1885
Quantity/format 3 papers Date/s 12/03/1885 Language
French/English

In Jersey, married womens will are usually in their maiden name. It was in
my case - I obtained copies of a number of wills from the Jersey Heritage
Trust this way (finding their records online using their maiden name and
ordering via email).

In your case I could not find anything for Fitpatrick at all, there are a
few Fitzpatricks but no women and nothing under Barrow. If I were you, I'd
get a copy of Ralph's will (if the one I've shown you is likely to be the
right person). There is a good chance that she will be mentioned inthe will
if he died before her. Who knows what you will find - unlikey to get birth
date of Bridget or even marriage details.

Good luck.

Peter

Hi - I'm trying to find the dob and marriage for someone born in Cork -
Bridget Barrow (nee Fitpatrick) died in St Helier, Jersey on 12 August 1887
(her husband Ralph died before her on 4 March 1885)

Would her will have details of a marriage of her date of birth?

Where is the best place to obtain them?

thank you in advance

Phil
