Hi Everyone, It has been pointed out to me that the book "The Pubs of Ryde" is by Kevin Mitchell and is, of course, subject to copyright. I should not therefore "share" my copies. They were obtained from a friend of Kevin's who did some of the research and who only allowed me to photograph pages from the book as it was out of print at the time. I think they were hoping to reprint it and I would definitely purchase a copy if it is available again. I do so apologise to anyone who has been offended by my thoughtless offer. The website is great! Regards .............. Ros.

Good Morning everyone. On the subject of pubs on the Island, have many of you heard of 'Wightwash'? This is a Camra publication for the Isle of Wight and is a pretty good read -quarterly. A friend of mine, Tim Marshall, is the editor and I have to say it is very informative. Their archives, I'm sure, could supply those of you who are interested, with a wealth of material.

Like I said a few week's ago - the Island seemed to be divided in to 2 distinct groups ... beer swilling rabble or those who were tea totallers :-) (said tongue in cheek !). My grandmother (b. 1887) always told the story that her mother would only allow her husband "one pail of beer" a week on Saturday evening and that had to be drunk at home. The children used to wait at the gate to watch for him coming down the lane with his pail of beer. Guess my lot were in the middle!

Like I said a few week's ago - the Island seemed to be divided in to 2 distinct groups ... beer swilling rabble or those who were tea totallers :-) (said tongue in cheek !). Another thing which I find amazing - the large numbers of various christian groups on the IoW, must have been ripe pickings for the Non Conformists.

Back in 2007 I posted the following Anyone with an interest in the Barnes family might like to look at http://www.homepages.ihug.com.au/~rbarnes/info.html William Austin Barnes illeg son of 'Mary Barnes and William Austin ( the turnpike keeper) details of family and subsequent arrival in Australia Mary also had another illeg son Isaac Barnes - father was Thomas Morey Eventually she married James Wearne 1798 Well it seems someone has been searching the IOW Archives and has emailed me about this family. Apparently the link no longer works. If anyone is related to the above I can put you in touch with the gentleman who contacted me as he ha compiled a huge family tree Angela in Qld Australia Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

Well what else can one do on those long winter evenings when the family is already too big, candles are too feeble to read by and Marconi has yet to start his Isle of Wight experiments with the radio? So, there remain two obvious choices, off to the pub whilst the wife suckles the babies or along to the temperance hall if the children are independent and the wife wants to come too! Hence the propensity of those two types of establishment. It's also probable that all those big open hills on the Island inspired many a budding preacher! Mark La Rochelle, France.

This was after her (third) husband, Charles MORRIS, died in 1870. He was listed as the Innkeeper in 1861 census so would have been one of the 221. I checked the most recent figures at < http://www.culture.gov.uk/4865.aspx > and the number of licensed premises on the Isle of Wight is now (as of 31st March 2007) 709, of which only 3 were for entertainment only. What I couldn't tell was how many of the remaining 703 were shops or supermarkets selling alcohol or providers of late night refreshment.

THE MIRROR 14/07/2008 OAP traces 10,000 ancestors...including the odd king By Tom Pettifor A pensioner believes he has produced the world's biggest family tree tracing 9,390 relatives including three kings. Relentless Roy Blackmore, 76, has spent 28 years and £20,000 piecing together his complex family history for 1,500 years. Roy, orphaned as a child, started the project in 1980 so he did most of his research without access to the internet. The ancestors he uncovered include Alfred the Great, William the Conqueror and Hugh Capet, a 10th century French king. Advertisement His tree stretches back to the Cerdick family in 500AD and 45 generations. The former perfume buyer also found among his relatives a cowboy, US Civil War soldiers, farmers, and the odd monk. Roy, of Taunton, Somerset, who spent up to five hours a day on his hobby, said: "One of the most shocking discoveries was that I'm a descendant of Alfred the Great. My interest started after I was orphaned as a child. I have been searching high and low for information on my family. There have been some very frustrating times when I seemingly hit a brick wall. But there is always a way around or over an obstacle and you just have to persevere." He added: "I could go back further into my French descendants but I think I'll leave it as it is." Dad-of-two Roy said wife Sigrid, 77, remained patient while he sifted through documents and travelled the country collecting clues. He said: "My grandchildren aren't too interested but I'm sure they will want to know more about their family as they grow older. "I was never really all that interested in history at school but as you get older you take an interest in where you come from." Geneaologist Nick Barratt, of BBC show Who Do You Think You Are? thinks it could be a record. He said: "To research 10,000 family members is a unique and amazing achievement. Many claim to have traced their family back to the Domesday Book but have actually used short cuts on the internet. "But to actually follow the paper trail is an incredible feat and I cannot praise it enough. Most struggle when at the 18th century." Roy is exhibiting certificates from his research at Taunton library today. Chris .

Susan This could be your Miss H Tayler. 1881 census: Harriett Taylor, Colman Wood, Ashey aged 29, born Ashey Class: RG11; Piece: 1180; Folio: 94; Page: 14 (image sent off list) The following entry, which I think is Kemphill Farm is the home of Jane Ridett (Wid) and her father William GROVES, and her niece and nephew Lucy & William. >From this and the previous entry, which is for Coppidhall Farm, I think Colman Wood must have been along the road that nowadays is called Stroud Wood Lane, between Havenstreet and Upton Cross. Harriett's mother Priscilla's occupation is listed as "Keeps a Brick Yard" and, guess what, there is a brick field along the small track between Stroud Wood Farm and Kemphill Farm :-) As the address was "Nr Ryde", rather than Ryde itself, it had to be somewhere on the outskirts of the town (though even my home village of Wootton still referenced Nr Ryde as a postal address when I was a nipper so "Nr Ryde" could be 3 or 4 miles away at least). I tried to find a reference to Colmans Wood on Old Maps (www.old-maps.co.uk) but failed, but it does show Coppidhall Farm, Strod Wood Farm and Kemphill Farm quite clearly.

Inside, it had an ancient small envelope (addressed to Miss H TAYLER, Colemans Road, Nr Ryde, Isle of Wight) containing a slip of paper with the name and address of "Barnabus GROVES, Carpenter, Brook Cottage, Stanley Street, East Collingwood, Melbourn, South Australia".

Barnabas and Barnaby were quite frequent names in the GROVES family of the Isle of Wight, and several of them were carpenters, but I suspect this piece of paper refers to the brother of my x2 great-grandmother Elizabeth WHEELER nee GROVES (the Bible comes from that line of my family). That Barnabas, bc 1817 was son of Benjamin & Mary GROVES, and we "loose" him after the 1851 census of England. I see from Ancestry.com that a Barnabas GROVES died in 1879 in Victoria, Australia, and that another Barnabas GROVES was on the electoral roll in Collingwood, Melbourne in the first half of C20, which sounds exceptionally promising! I am aware that there is a (related) family of GROVES, including a Barnabas, who emigrated to Tasmania, but does anyone have any further information on the line of the Isle of Wight GROVES family who lived in Collingwood, Melbourne, in the second half of C19 and early C19, please? And can anyone tell me where Colemans Road near Ryde was - as opposed to the one between Newport and Yarmouth?

Garry, First of all, apologies for the hypertext and gobbledegook which is inserted into my original text - probably by a gremlin somewhere. I certainly wouldn't have sent if I'd known that was going to happen. As I said in that email, I did transcribe the address as it had been written which was definitely "Colemans Road". I must now look at the census returns for Colenutt's Road for the mid-1800s and see if any likely Taylers (or Taylors even) lived there. Many thanks for this new line of enquiry.
