Hiya Linda......In case you don`t know...ALL the Channel Islands EXCEPT Jersey come under the Balliwick of Guernsey....here`s the 1841 census....probably too early for you though

Thanks for the replies - I have found them on the censuses, partly - The person I was looking for was in the army garrison on Alderney for years - I believe he was in charge of Ordnance, and had 16 children while there. On the 1881 census the army are just listed as numbers of people at certain ages.
Elaine, I did have a look at the Wiki, this was late last night, and I was planning to let admin know today, that a number of the links are no longer valid, will double check this morning as to which ones.
I just thought to check the Army births register and I found them - she had 17 children in all, 15 within 19 years!

Thanks for the link Allan, unfortunately none of mine were on there - luckily there name is not very common, I think they were the only family of that name in the Islands.

Just goes to show how quickly some of these links change! When we moved everything from the wiki pages we checked that every single link was working ... which it was!
If anyone finds a link in the Reference Library which doesn't work, just leave a message in the comments box which you will find at the bottom of each page, and one of us will check it out.
What`s the surname Linda...may just be on www.geneanet.org ... put in just the surname leave the place blank......then you will have to trawl through and see if there is a match with Alderney.....allan

Hi Allan, the surname is Attewell, but I have managed to find all the children born in Alderney as most were on the military births lists, and others on the 1891 and 1901 census. On the 1911 they stated that they had 17 children, and I found them all, plus extra background from an article written about the 9 soldier sons from Alderney in 1914.
Thanks for your help, I had a look on the geneanet site - mine gave me the dutch version! but there was nothing mentioning Channel Islands/Alderney.
