Dear List, Does anyone have any information re John HAYLES born 5 April 1807 who married Emma Wheeler in Whippingham, IOW in 1833. John's parents were Charles HAYLES abt.1767 and Sarah KEATS abt. 1770 from Whippingham. Charles and Sarah were married in 1791 in Whippingham. I cannot yet find any parents for Charles HAYLES. Regards to all, Joan Myers

Suzanne or David or Sandy. I can't see what you have put on the list. But I am very interested in the Dore links that I have. Can you make whatever you put up there visible to me too please Regards, Robert -----Original Message----- From: David & Suzanne [mailto:woody.mw@btinternet.com] Sent: 17 November 2004 13:40 To: ISLE-OF-WIGHT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [IoW] RE: IOW Dore Family UPDATE Well done Sandy! More of us ought to have a go at putting lists like this on the list! The further and wider you go with your tree it becomes fascinating (I find) to see the bigger picture; community marriages between family and friends. Cheers Suzanne

Now the other names like RATFORD and WOODYEAR and GLASBY are pretty thin on the ground on IOW but SALTERS seem somewhat more prolific!! I'm after info and family of an ANN SALTER who married THOMAS GLASBY sometime in 1789 according to IGI. Whoever it was who did the Glasby family only submitted years not actual dates which seems a bit of a waste of time to me, but then again it's a starting point I guess, and something s better than nothing!! Would dearly love to hear from you if you can throw any light on this young lady! Cheers Adrienne

Rather than put everything in one email, I'm dividing it up into other names the family married into to try and attract more researchers who may be somehow connected to this family. This time it's the wife of the first known GLASBY on the IOW - CHARLES GLASBY and his wife MARY RATFORD who married NEWCHURCH sometime in 1766. I'm assuming that either this date is incorrect and may have been 1760 or that their was another earlier wife who was the mother of THOMAS GLASBY who I'm told was christened 19 October 1760!! Cheers Adrienne

Greetings again, this time I'm interested to find the family of a stray GLASBY by the name of GEOERGE WOODYEAR GLASBY who married a SARAH TURNER 1837 St JOHN, NORTHWOOD. It would appear his mother was a WOODYEAR but who?? and which Glasby did she marry?? Sometimes George's surname is spelt GLASSBY. Cheers Adrienne

Kia Ora (Greetings from a new New Zaland lister!) I am researching one of my husbands ancestors at present by the name of GLASBY. They were originally CLASBY from Ringwood but with the relocation the initial letter somehow got changed. We know that this is really what happened as there is a will to prove it. Now I have started a website for this Glasbey crowd that settled on the ISLE of WIGHT if anyone is interestted in this family at http://AdeInNelson.homestead.com/ What I am after is some help with access to info on this family from the 1851, 1861 and 1841 cencus and also anyone with access to Parish Records from the parish churches they appear to have used for their christenings and marriages - namely NEWCHURCH and later some at ST HELENS. I am unable to order these films from a Family History library as I am presently living on a remote island off the NZ coast. I have looked at the IOW genealogy web site and found their BMD pages which were very helpful. I have also checked all other usual online resources such as Rootsweb free BMD and free cencus, 1881 and 1901 cencuses and IGI, Family Connect etc. Any assistance most greatfully received. You might even find something of interest to you on my website that has numerous postcards of old churches in NZ, Aussie and GB as well as other old postcards of areas of interest to me - eg Bampton in Devon. Cheers Adrienne

Hello all, I am back on the list after a bit of a break. I have access to the 1871 census film for Northwood at the moment. If anyone would like a look up , just let me know.I will be looking at it again next Tuesday. My IW interests are FRENCH originally from Selsey in Sussex but in Cowes by 1871 MOREY Cowes/Northwood UNDERWOOD Cowes/Northwood CHESSELL Cowes/Northwood SANDERS Carisbrooke. Anyone on the lists with those interests??? Also, can anyone tell me if archives of the Isle of Wight Times survive. Terri

I am new to the list, and saw the cry for those searching for BROWNS. We have been trying to find my great grandmother's birth for some decades now without success. Can anyone throw any light on her?? She was ELLEN BROWN, but according to my grandmother she was originally called AILEEN and her mother was EVA COOPER. Her birthday was 24th August and would have been born in either 1865/6. On Ellen's marriage certificate to FRANK PIPER(Islington 1891) her father is listed as CHARLES BENJAMIN BROWN (Parcels Clerk). The 1891 and 1901 census give her birth place as Ryde, IOW. Any clues, however small would be most gratefully received to help solve the mystery of the woman who married, had eight children and lived with my mother and her family for many years, but apparently was never born! Jacqui Phillips

Hello Listers A very silly finicky question here I'm afraid! Does the IOW Registry Office issue certificates that look exactly the same as the GRO certificates . . . as I like them to sort of match . . . please don't laugh! My great-grandfather does not appear in the GRO list, but HURRAH! does exist on the IOW list! Best Wishes Suzanne

Well done Sandy! More of us ought to have a go at putting lists like this on the list! The further and wider you go with your tree it becomes fascinating (I find) to see the bigger picture; community marriages between family and friends. Cheers Suzanne

Dear Isle-of-Wight Subscribers, List messages are beginning to filter through again. The current information at < http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ > says: Mail Lists: 2004-11-15 All visitors please read this message. The repair of the digests has seemed to have occurred unhindered and with only several inconsequential anomalies. We are currently putting the queued mail through the mailing list server (lists5) in a roughly chronological order. This will take some time as we step through the backlog on the mailhub, we continue to monitor the processes on the list server as the mail is fed through. We hope that you are enjoying your revived mail. Older message We are currently cycling queued mail into the broken digests and you should see these digests being delivered through the next day. You may note that there will be some duplication of digests numbers, and may be the odd post within these. From our point of view this is not a concern and a minor trade off for ensuring that the mail makes the searchable archives I suggest that we hold back from posting multiple messages for a few more days, but a few posts will be fine even if they are delayed for a while.

Dear Friends & Cousins, We here in Australia have added one more cousin for your Trees. This one is a little unusual as his Gt Gt Grandmother (Agnes Mary COLLYER) is still alive and well at 81!!! In fact his Gt Gt Gt Grandmother only died about 6 years ago. Samantha Lee CHAPMAN (b. 1987) has a son, Tanner Richard SKYBINSKY, b. 14 Oct 2004 in Perth, Western Australia. God! My cousin Sylvia, is a year younger than me, being born in 1949, and has just become a Great Grandmother. Not a lot of husbands in this part of the Tree :) Love David in Ballarat

Pse can someone tell me if there is a 1851 census for Isle of Wight. Looking for the two above Thanks Diane

Hello Listers, this is my first posting in a while,have been concentrating research elsewhere on other lines, my message is aimed primarily for Sandy but may help others, I posted my Dore information on this site last year so please look in the archives Sandy, I am afraid I have not been able to add anything further to my DORE'S as I cannot find a marriage for Eliza's parents James and Martha, so I do not know her maiden name at the moment.I hope this helps others and shows how harsh times can nearly wipe out whole families and I presume at times it did. John Hobbs of Carisbrooke (at time of marriage)m. Elizabeth Dore of Niton (no marriage full date found as yet) 1837 children 1.Elizabeth Martha daughter of John Hobbs and Eliza of Little Birchmore 27/8/1837 Arreton, died age 14 18/12/1851 Barton village. 2.William of John and Eliza of Cross Lane 11/8/1839 Whippingham, died age 17, buried 12/5/1856 House of Industry. 3&4.Mary Ann and Maria twin daughters of John and Eliza nee Dore, Barton village, born 5/9/1841, christened 24/10/1841 Newport Primitive Methodist. 5.Jane daughter of John and Eliza born 25/2/1844, ch.24/3/1844, died 1/10/1847 age 3yrs 7mths Barton Village. 6.Joseph of John and Eliza Barton village ch. 20/12/1846 living at Tapnell Cottage Thorley in the 1881 census, m.

George Gustar and Mary Ann Hobbs also had the following children Mary Jane Gustar 22/5/1875 Barton Charles Gustar 24/6/1876 Barton Walter Gustar 3/3/1880 Barton, these three must have died because they do not appear on the 1881 census with the others, and the last child Rhoda Gustar 24/9/1882 Barton.
