Many thanks to those who have now pointed me in a direction to understand re tything - lots to learn. Thanks again to the great people who are willing to help others. Kind regards, Denise B Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia - denise@lighthouseelectrical.com

Hi to everyone We would like to extend grateful thanks to 3 ladies - Daphne Austin, Mary Silk and Vanessa Marshall who have been brilliant in trying to further our researches on both Snook and Day families - and we are posting this as a personal acknowledgment of their valued assistance.

Dear Denise, I suggest you look at some old maps of the area. A good site for this is 'A vision of BRITAIN through time' at http://vision.port.ac.uk/index.jsp Search under Laverstock (as Milford was a tything to Laverstock) You can search the Wilts & Swindon Archives via the A2A website at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ where you will find that there are many documents relating to the Manor at Milford. It appears that the manor and land were owned by a William Beckford (of Fonthill) in 1783 and was still in the family in 1836. There are many documents, many of which give names of tenants etc, you may find one listing your ancestors. Happy hunting and kindest regards.

Hello Sandra Okay many thanks for explaining, but then this raises another question - How do I find out what/which manor the tything was a part of? Milford has been put as Henry PAGE's birthplace so would the manor be Milford? There is so much to learn and until one comes across these items you find you really have to keep learning (keeps the cobwebs away).

Dear Mr. Flawn, if you look on the Ilse of Wight FHS website for deaths, you will find a John William Smith who died in the Calbourne district in 1886, aged 53. A check on FreeBMD gives a John William Smith's death registered in the March quarter of 1886, again giving an age of 53. These indexes are both transcripts but the fact that they agree points to their accuracy. To find out his exact place of death you will have to get a copy of his death certificate. Finding out where he was buried could be much more of a problem.

April, I agree with you. The IOW list has been a great help to so many of us but I feel people will now be thinking twice about asking for assistance for fear of being reprimanded etc. It is a shame to see personal animosities take over.

Dear Patricia, I am not researching these families, but you might like the following information. The IOW Record Office has masses of papers relating to the OGLANDER / KEMPE / BROMFIELD families in the papers of the OGLANDER collection - you can search the records via the A2A site at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a I thought this record was interesting - It seems that Mary Broomfield (formerly Kempe, nee Oglander) gave an affidavit in 1627 which states that Francis had died in April 1623 and was buried at Lymington and it also mentions other members of the family: Affidavit by Mary Broomfeld OG/EE/84 13 July 1627 These documents are held at Isle of Wight Record Office Contents: "That whereas Mr. Redman by his council at the last Assizes, affirmed that the joint estates of my late husband, Mr. Thomas Kempe and of Mr. Francis Kemp came but to £3,000 and thinking to fortify his concept by producing a note of account under my brother, Sir John Oglander's hand dated in April 1623. In answer I acknowledge that I was ready at Andover at the Assizes to be deposed and still am that my brother never accounted with Mr. Redman in April 1623, for Mr. [Francis] Kemp died in April and was buried at Limington as appeareth by the Church booke on 14 April 1623. After whose death I locked up all accounts between him and Mr. Redman, safe in a chest and saw not my brother till May following, and did not show me any of the accounts until June following, when the first account between them was taken at my house in Newport." 2. Says that she was prepared at Andover at the last Assizes to affirm that Mr. Redman delivered up to my brother, Sir John Oglander, divers bonds with a schedule of the particulars, before and not after as he affirms. Mr. Redman interred into a bond of £4,000 to my son, John Kemp, for payment of £1,912-6s-8d. at Lady Day following and the bonds were not delivered up by Mr. Redman in part payment of the bond of £1,912-6s.-8d. with an affidavit by George Oglander, brother of Sir John Oglander, that when Mr. Redman sealed a bond of £4,000 unto John Kemp, he did not deliver unto Sir John Oglander any bonds, and that presently we took our horses and both rode out of Newport." Also have you checked the Hants Record Office catalogue for articles on your KEMPE / OGLANDER families? You can search on their website at www3.hants.gov.uk/archives I have found these records, (but there may be others which interest you)- FindingNo 111M94W/Q2/5/3 Title Surrender by Edward Kempe the younger, Edward Kempe the elder, Thomas Kempe, Robert Kempe, Frances Kempe and Ingarum Rowlande Date 20 Sep 1602 FindingNo 111M94W/Q2/5/4 Title Lease to Francis Kempe of Dibden, gent Date 23 Sep 1602 (Dibden is about 4 miles from Beaulieu) You can print their order form and purchase copies of the records. You may be interested to know that there is a marble and alabaster monumental bust of John Kempe dated 1652 in Boldre Church. (Boldre is about 4 1/2 miles from Beaulieu). "On the north wall of the nave is the striking portrait bust of John Kempe, MP for Lymington in 1640. Popular for his hard work and care for the town, his is one of the few busts of the period to have survived the Cromwellian age unvandalised".

I'm happy to do lookup's for anyone once I get settled so start writing up your lists !

Surely we can let the Roy Stockdill issue pass through to the wicket keeper - enough is enough. Got my flight booked and arrive on the Island - Wed 21st October :-) Angela

Hello Denise, Just a word about a TYTHING in your context. A tything was a part of a manor and normally supported about 10 families in mediaeval times. You are confusing this with a tythe, a payment to the church.

Dear Listers, When I joined your list some years ago, I was sent a very pleasant introductory letter explaining how things worked and some basic, but well founded, conditions of membership. I am personally delighted to have joined and benefited from such a friendly and knowledgeable group of people. If only out of respect of those people who offer so much help with little or no reward, I feel it is everyone's duty to respect the etiquette of this, their chosen community. One of those basic conditions refered to "flaming" which, in this context, is defined by the 'Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary' as meaning "Full of anger", and by the Internet based 'Urban Dictionary' as "To engage in an online argument usually involving unfounded personal attacks by one or more parties". The exact wording of that particular condition as taken from the principal 'Rootsweb' website is thus: "Flaming is grounds for immediate removal and being banned permanently from the list." Naturally the ultimate policing of such conditions falls under the jurisdiction of our very competent list administrator, but I would hope that we are all quite capable of maintaining such simple standards and keeping our own house in order. My respect and appreciation to all of you, Mark Urry, France. Researching URRY & BASTIANI

I am personally delighted to have joined and benefited from such a friendly and knowledgeable group of people. If only out of respect of those people who offer so much help with little or no reward, I feel it is everyone's duty to respect the etiquette of this, their chosen community. One of those basic conditions refered to "flaming" which, in this context, is defined by the 'Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary' as meaning "Full of anger", and by the Internet based 'Urban Dictionary' as "To engage in an online argument usually involving unfounded personal attacks by one or more parties". The exact wording of that particular condition as taken from the principal 'Rootsweb' website is thus: "Flaming is grounds for immediate removal and being banned permanently from the list." Naturally the ultimate policing of such conditions falls under the jurisdiction of our very competent list administrator, but I would hope that we are all quite capable of maintaining such simple standards and keeping our own house in order. My respect and appreciation to all of you, Mark Urry, France.
