Stephen If you go to http://www.isle-of-wight-fhs.co.uk/ and look under births you can do 5 year searches for your ancestors where the maiden name is entered in another column. Keep doing 5 year searches for up to 20 years or so and you should find out whether they were born there. The BMD for the IOWFHS is unique in this way and very helpful. Hope this helps,Linda and Tony

Linda, Stephen You can actually do 10 year searches, rather than 5 Jon Baker -----Original Message----- Stephen If you go to http://www.isle-of-wight-fhs.co.uk/ and look under births you can do 5 year searches for your ancestors where the maiden name is entered in another column.
