Hi Frank,
Try joining the Channel Islands mailing list. There are a lot of helpful people who may be able to give you the information you need. Priaulx is a very old name in Guernsey. I have some among my ancestors back in the late 1600s-early 1700s.
http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/UK/CHANNEL-ISL...Another good site to look is Donkipedia which has links to Jerripedia. If you can find the maiden name of Marthe Priaulx 2nd wife of Daniel on the 1871 census, you may be able to find her birth in Jersey.
