Hi Linda & Tony, can you lookup up burial for George Woodman at Alverstoke. On FreeBMD he is listed as George Woodman, Deaths March 1859, Alverstoke 2b, page 327. I can't find him on your parish registers or IGI. I think he may have been in the navy as his wife was from Chatham. Thank you, Dave Hartnett, Sth. Aust.

Hi list, I am looking for the historical newspaper 'Hampshire Telegraph' 1838 and 1850 / shipnews. It would be great, if somebody could do me a great favour, to have a short view to the shipnews of Isle of Wight. My gran-gran-grandfather was captain/master of a sailing ship during the 19th century, and I am working on reconstructing the time schedule of him. Twice he came to Cowes/ Isle of Wight, one time as shipboy, second time as master himself.The information of german newspaper was like this: 1. Brigg Gerhard Hermann, Master Claussen Cowes, arrived Jan.20, 1838 from Porto Rico. Cowes, sailed March 14, 1838 for Bremen. 2. Brigg Henriette, Master Greve Cowes, arrived Apr.21, 1850 from Laguayra. Cowes, sailed Apr. 23, for Hamburg. Thank you for any help, Hella Bremen, Germany

The original message may have been posted a while ago - but I've only recently snailmailed it to my sister & her husband in Scotland, They were on the folk scene in Hampshire at that time. Cyril Tawney performed on HMS Fourdyant (now back to original name of Trimocelee & based in Sunderland?) Folk Evenings, when she was still moored in Portsmouth Harbour, Gosport side - there was a Fourdyant Trust at that time? My sister had Cyril sign a copy of one of his records.

Anyway, it's all on film and held at Portsmouth Central Library in the Genealogy Department. You need to book a film reader in advance. They also have a very wide range of local history documents, and of course, the GRO BMD on microfiche and all the census. Again you need to book a microfiche reader in advance. I think you can book for up to 3 hours at a time and there is no charge for either. In peak times they may restrict booking times, but the staff are both helpful and knowledgeable and, I am sure, would respond warmly to you since you would be here for only a short time.

I know I shouldn't ask through the list [but they are Portsmouth-Gosport genealogy emails!] but can some kind genius tell me how I can retrieve some misfiled emails that have some how gotten into a temp windows folder as .dbx files which I can't open!! [This is on a Win98 system] Please help before I throw the PC out of the window!!! With fingers crossed! Rosemary

Hello Simon, Thanks for your reply - just another thought, Portsmouth Central Library always keep one microfiche viewer for "half-hour" bookings. This is where someone doesn't understand there is a booking requirement and has just popped in. You would be able to use it for just 30 minutes with a maximum wait of 29 minutes ! Keep in touch, I was born in Portsmouth and live just outside, so if I can be of help, do not hesistate.

Thank you for that information and your interest. My Cole family originated in Dogmersfield and I was told were there or in that area for many generations but I cannot track them back further than about 1800. Also told that Cole is a common Hampshire name and my various searches bear that out! My William Cole was born in Middlesex but the older and younger brothers were born and christened in Portsmouth, parents' marriage and father's death there too and I think the birth of William was never registered. I have tried the Middlesex List but could not cope with the sheer volume of messages! I have a grandson whose second name is Cole so the name lives on. For one generation at least.
