Jersey locations


Richard O'CONNOR arrived in Jersey c1846 aged around 4. He lived with his parents and siblings at 2 Castle Street, St Helier until his marriage in 1867 at the age of 25 to Flavella. By 1980, 2 Castle Street had been demolished and replaced with a car park, but the houses opposite survive and are probably a good indication of how no 2 would have looked.

Flavella PUDDICOMBE meanwhile was living in London until around 1863, when she moved to Jersey to run a guest house with her mother at 16 Simon Place, St Helier. She was introduced to her future husband by one of the guests.
