Notes and references
- ↑ This stone, not recorded by HER, is shown in the Datestone Register as being found at Stonewall Farm, Trinity. We are not aware of a second property of this name, but the house featured here is in St Helier, not Trinity. We have not identified any marriage record which is an obvious match for this stone, which would predate the present buildings by at least a century
This photograph, dated 1860, is captioned Stonewall, but there is doubt over the accuracy of the date and the information supplied with the photograph. We have doubts that the photograph was actually taken in Jersey
