Nothing under Calbourne in Kokeritz's Placenames of the Isle of Wight but he had Coppidthorn or Copperthorn surviving as a field name on the Brighstone tithe map - means lopped or pollarded thorn bush. Brighstone and Calbourne were adjoining parishes and manors and much of both parishes came under the manor of Swainston for which records survive at the Isle of Wight Record Office.

Angela Good spot by Dave. I checked the 1851 census as well, and it would seem that Coppy Thorn is between Langbridge Farm and Calbourne Cross, based on the order that the Enumerator recorded the households. I haven't been able to locate Coppy Thorn or similar on the 1861 or 1871 censuses. Hope that helps Jon Baker -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Angela Sent: 13 August 2008 10:23 To: [email protected] Subject: [IoW] Coppid Thorne, Calbourne, Isle of Wight Thank you everyone who took the time and trouble to comment on the possible location of Coppid Thorne. After reading a will dating from 1736 several times, it would seem that there were some houses and outhouses on a piece of land called Coppid Thorne, which were left to an individual called Richard Clarke. Dave Peach had pinpointed a location on the 1891 census called "Coppythorn" which was near Swainston Manor. I'll check it out during my next visit home to the Island as I think this could possibly be the location.

Hello Haven't researched Munt's in detail but do have the following who are collateral to our tree: James Munt 1789 -1852 (resident in Northwood 1841) His parents appear?? to have been John Munt and Harriet ? but have no details for them. James married Ann Smith. Their children were Ann 1821, Amelia 1829, Harriet 1831 and George William 1837 (dates may be approximate). All of Northwood. Hope this helps a bit. Steve Harrison (researching Hollises)

Angela, I have Robert MUNT, b. 1656 and his wife Jane HODGKINS b. 1690 as possible parents of Richard MUNT b. Shorewell, 1684. Richard MUNT leased a Salthouse or cottage in 1714 and died in Calbourne in 1734. He married Martha BARNES in 1714. I also have a Sarah MUNT born 1758, Northwood who died on 6 Oct 1788, age 30 years. Sarah was the first wife of John Whillier/Wheeler, b. 1758, Shalfleet. John Whillier/Wheeler and Sarah MUNT were married 28 Sept. 1779 in Northwood. Eleanor/Ellen/Helena MUNT b. 1763, Newtown near Calbourne was the second wife of John WHILLIER/WHEELER and may have been a younger sister to Sarah. Eleanor and Sarah's parents may have been John MUNT, 1717, b. Calbourne and Mary BARNES, b. 1720, Shalfleet but there was also an earlier Eleanor born to the same parents in 1757 in Calbourne, Shalfleet. Sorry this is so indefinite but it's some time since I looked at the MUNT family and there may be some new information around. I'll have another look at it all and try to sort it out as Eleanor MUNT was my GGGG Grandmother..

There is a Coppid Hall Farm in Havenstreet. It seems that the word might be Middle English and possibly means 'couped in' - another of those place names that might have been very specifically local and which may not have been formally recorded, save for in a few documents such as your will. I've got a copy of the Domesday Book at home (but I'm on holiday at the moment) - I'll see if I can find anything in there. P

So far the internet only comes up with Coppid Hall but that’s in Ryde. Will keep a look out.

Regards Angela

Sorry - sent a response last week, but haven't seen it on the digest, regarding my earlier query about Esther Clarke. I neglected to indicate in my original post that her father was Arthur Clarke (deceased) - that is deceased at the time of the wedding in 1860. Esther would have been born about 1824. Both 1861 and 1871 censuses list her place of birth as Isle of Wight. She died in 1872, and I can't find her on earlier censuses. Her father was a soldier, so I'm not sure if the family was from IOW, or just passing through. Angela and Lesley have kindly checked their Clarke/Clark records. What I'm wondering now is - would a birth that happened on the Isle of Wight have been registered elsewhere? Maybe somewhere in Hampshire? Or maybe the whole IOW mention in the census is just a giant red herring. Ann

Hi again John Just another thought I had! Below are the HILLS still residing in Godshill in the 1851 Census index plus page number (HO/107/1665). Maybe your William is related to some of these people. If not then you can at least rule them out. Beki HILLS in Godshill in 1851........

Hi John In the 1851 Census Index there is a William HILLS aged 25 years born Arreton, Isle of Wight. (HO/107/1663 pg 488) I don't have the census only the index so can't pinpoint where exactly he is living other than Arreton. It appears that the following HILLS people are also on the same census page. Elizabeth aged 56 born Mottistone Fanny aged 16 born Arreton Frederick aged 15 born Arreton Henry aged 23 born Arreton Robert aged 57 born Arreton Walter aged 18 born Arreton Also in Ryde there is another William HILLS this time aged 28 years (HO/107/1664 pg 159). On the same census page there are the following HILLS people. Caroline age 30 born Godshill William aged 2 born Ryde I can't find any other references to a William HILLS around this age in the rest of the index. Hope this helps.

All sorted, thanks... and know i must prepare to write to many people... lots listed in the IOW. Bobby.

Hello, Ok,. the next stage is to write to the IOW. I dont seem to be able to get any further info (or photos) about ancesters on the island. I couldnt find an online phone book, maybe i'm putting the wrong search words in or something for the white pages. Sunday morning block perhaps. Anyway, i would like to write to WILSONS on the island. Is there an online phone book with addresses? Or how should i go about this? Thanks, Aussie Bobby.

Angela, You can search for BMDs on FreeBMD at: http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl the marriage entry for Percy is there: Sep Q 1923 George Percy R May Bethnal G 1c 322 but the other hasn't yet been transcribed but checking on the indexes there is a matching entry for a Dorothy May. As for the children you need to go to the GRO indexes, you have the advantage of knowing the wife's maiden name which is listed on the index after c1915 so identify an appropriate entry is relatively easy vs when the maiden name wasn't listed. Alternatively you can wait until FreeBMD transcribes more births, there are currently no suitable entries post 1923 but it is being updated on a regular basis. Bob

Dear Bob, Gill ,Lesley U, Ann and Anne, Thank you all so much for replying to my request. You all seem to have found my William. He has flown the nest and is living in Surrey. All my family seem to have done this and it makes tracing them so much harder. I wonder if you can solve another mystery. I have a Percy R GEORGE born 1870 son of Alfred and Sophia OATES. I think he married in 1923 Middx a (xxxxx) MAY How can I find out the first name of his Wife and any children they may have had. Regards Angela

Hello Everyone, Since there have been comments about how quiet it has been lately, perhaps someone will be good enough to try and solve a problem I have with one of my ancestors. I have a William Edward STROUD born 1875/6 Ryde, son of Edward G STROUD and Ellen OATES. I have managed to trace him so far 1881 aged 5/6 living with his Uncle William G WRIGHT and Auntie Mary Ann WRIGHT Clare aged 15 Minnie aged 12 & Ada aged 5. They were his cousins. He was living with them because his Mother Ellen had died. In 1891 aged 16 he is back with his Father Edward aged 41 who had remarried a Sarah Jane. I am unable to find him on the 1901 census. I have looked to see if he has died or married but have been unsuccessful. Has anyone got any ideas. Regards Angela
