Angela I assume the "Medina" was the name of the steamship, otherwise it would have to have been traveling at a rate of knots to knock the poor guys into the Medina from Atherfield :-) Jon Baker -----Original Message----- 13 Aug 1853 Inquest - William GORGE & Jacob WEARN, drowned in the Medina , David Corke, the Captain of the steamer ran in to their boat , they were fishing off Atherfield.

Hello Patricia, I do not have anything on the CORNEY family - however Hannah CHEEK'S younger sister, Sarah is my line of the CHEEK family. William CHEEK and his wife Sarah RIDER had 9 known children with Sarah being the youngest. My information on some of this family is rather sparse. I do have Hannah's marriage to William YOUNG but had not recorded any children - thank you for that information. Are you tracing the CHEEK family at present? Evelyn from a cold Sydney

She made two three tacks towards us to ascertain who we were, we came up within a mile and a half of her, she then suddenly, bore up and steered south, I steered afer her, I saw some tubs attached to her quarter, I fired a shot and she came to....... other witnesses corroborated the Captains evidence . Found guilty and fined 100/ each and vessel seized.

>From Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle (Portsmouth) Saturday May 21, 1859 The chamion's belt, lately won by Mr. Kellaway of Merston Cottage, as being the head of the pigeon shooters, but which he was only entitled to wear after winning two matches in succession, was wrested from him on Monday last, after a very short holding, by Mr. Green, of Ryde, wine merchant, who at a match at Fairlee on Monday last, at twenty-one birds, for the belt and a purse of sovereigns, killed his first fifteen birds right off the muzzle, while his opponent missed seven out of his fifteen! consequently nothing could turn the scales in his favour, and the trophy was handed over to Mr. Green, to hold on the same conditions. (I guess the seven he missed were very grateful!) Bruce C. Callaway Sydney Australia E-mail [email protected]

1679. A handwritten Will of William Pressey mentions a name or similar which looks like BONSLADE where they lived. Could be near Ryde. Can anyone please help me with more accurate info, please. William is a my 7 x grt grandfather. His wife was Joanne. Thanks. April

Angela I have no idea whether the 'Nobbs' family in my tree is related to yours. I have only just discovered that my greatgrandfather's sister married a Nobbs. *Robert Reed Nobbs b.1831 married in 1878 to Sarah Ann Lane b.1838* I was particularly interested in them because they named their daughter 'Lenna' and this was my father's sister's name. No one knew where it had originated from and this is the first reference I have found to it. Do you know if there are any other 'Lenna's' in the Nobbs family? It's a name I have never come across before. regards Gill -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG. Version: 7.5.524 / Virus Database: 270.4.1/1511 - Release Date: 20/06/2008 11:52

The coincidence of knowing of someone in the mid 60s who had married a SALERO - and I believe there was a son of the marriage, which might have been dissolved - living in Newport Isle of Wight is too much for me not to reply. I am no longer in touch with the lady or the family, and I guess, its possible she could have died. >From what I remember, Mr. Salero had a business, a shop of some kind in Newport. I think his wife's maiden surname was WEST. I feel certain you ought to be able to trace it through the phone book. Directory Enquiries here will need an address now for you to be put through, so you'll need to make some more enquiries. I wonder if there is someone who has access to the Electoral Roll?

Hello, Can anyone help me with this query. I have been told that a Lord Louis was a witness to the Baptism of a Mary OATES in 1836 in Colwell Church. I believe that this Mary OATES may be an ancestor of mine. I know that Lord Louis Mountbatten born 1900 had connections with the island but his birth took place after the date of the Baptism. Any thoughts? Regards Angela
