Joan Do a Google on "Coastguards Isle of Wight" and hopefully you will come up with a site run by Ann ??? which has census transcriptions for most of the Isle of Wight coastguard stations. (plus masses of other IOW related information). Send her an e'mail with your query, as I was in contact with a guy last year who was detailing all the coast guard stations - if anyone has photos these 2 will. If you don't get any joy, contact me off list & I'll try and find his e-mail details.
