Hi everyone I just wanted to introduce myself as I am new to your list. My name is Judi and I am a proud Canadian living in Tacoma, WA, USA. My maiden name is Wallbridge and I am from Alberta Canada. On a recent trip home I was able to, for the first time in my life, view the WALLBRIDGE family tree as it pertains to our family and was amazed to discover that I stem from a Richard WALLBRIDGE born 1821 on the Isle-of-Wight. I know not where though. The info I do have on him is thusly: Marriage #1: to Louise EMBERLY Marriage #2: to unknown. Children of Marriage #2 are (a)Laura who married unk KING and had son Fred KING and (b) Allie who married unk TILLY and had no children. Children of Marriage #1 are as follows: George WALLBRIDGE (grocer)(from whom I descend) born 1845 died 1932 married 1870 to Phyllis CLARKE b. 1848 d. 1925 They had 9 children (I have names and dates) Robert WALLBRIDGE no info on date of birth, death or marriage but he had 3 sons and 2 daughters, names unk. Lizzie WALLBRIDGE married unk LOU and had one daughter Hannah WALLBRIDGE married unk ROBSON and had 7 children Louise WALLBRIDGE married unk SEWELL and had 4 daughters Carrie WALLBRIDGE married (1) unk GIBSON (2) unk TITUS (3) unk KINCAID and had 2 sons and 3 daughters. Please note that Richard WALLBRIDGE died 1868 in Belleville, Ontario Canada so at some time between 1821 and 1868 he must have immigrated. We do not know if he married his two wives in Isle-of-Wight or in Canada and we don't know where his children were born either. Is there SKS on this list researching these names and if so, could they possibly fill in some gaps for me. Since I have only had this tree in my possession for five days I have not begun to search myself and don't even know where to search. Any ideas? Thanking you in advance for any info you can provide. Judi in sunny Washington State, USA ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Judi McRae, a Proud Canadian living in the Glorious Pacific Northwest (Tacoma,WA, USA) Please NOTE*** I am NOT researching the McRae name. Nothing attached to this letter is from me unless specifically mentioned in the body of the letter.

Thanks Pat and Don. Sorry I didn't put a subject, just getting used to a new email address! regards Sally

Janet/Gill Since Janet has already found a possible birth and marriage from the IOWFHS web site, I suggest it would be easier, cheaper (and usually much quicker) and less error-prone, for Gill who lives in North Wales, to obtain certificates direct from the IOW Registrar (avoids any possible transcription problems and also there is a ready made application form available on the IOWFHS site. Although I use 1837 & FreeBMD to obtain references for non-Island events, they contain nothing that is not already available on the excellent IOWFHS database (except GRO references which are of no use to the IOW Registrar). The only drawback that I know of is that they are not bale to provide this service to our overseas friends (but if anyone knows different I would be happy to be corrected).

Hi Janet Many thanks for the information. At last I have a lead to follow up. Gill.

Thanks Jon for the suggestion. Sorry, I didn't notice Gill's UK email address. I'm in Canada and tried to order certificates from the IOW Register office by credit card, but they don't offer a secure online service for credit cards. So I have opted to use the GRO office in Southport, Merseyside. Regards.

His siblings were:- Ada (unmarried) Alice married Arthur MULLET and emigrated to Australia abt. 1911 Newton married Mildred ROOKE Walter married Ellen WILTSHIRE Mary(died in childhood). His parents were:- William LANE born abt.1841 in the IOW. He was a carpenter/boatbuilder. Elizabeth Harding LANE (nee WARNE) born abt. 1841 in the IOW.

Can anyone help me to find out a bit more about my grandfather and his forebears. Gill

Hi Sharon, and others contemplating a hi-tech visit to the UK: May I suggest: A cassette recorder or minicassette recorder, for spoken recollections by elderly relatives, or a DV-cam or camcorder if you want to film them (and plenty of tape, plus blank CDs or DVDs for recording your photos, digital video etc.!) Your laptop has a great little program for recording notes - Wordpad. I'm planning a trip to England next year and have also found a convenient telephone recorder gadget at Radio Shack that plugs into any telephone with a headset socket and can record to a cassette tape - useful as I have elderly rellies in Canada and US that I occasionally call, and have found that I can only write down a small fraction of what they tell me while I'm listening on the phone. Make sure you have a suitable power converter for 230-240V that will operate these items (your laptop probably operates on 100-240V anyway.) Wireless internet availability would be useful. I have a program on my Sony laptop called Boingo Wireless, that can get you hooked up to wireless hotspots anywhere e.g. Starbucks, so that you can send/receive email etc. I haven't activated that yet, as there is a service fee after a month that I don't want to be paying until I actually need to. If you don't have a wireless card, that might be a useful adjunct, to enable this. Your cell phone (if it's AT&T Wireless anyway) may operate overseas as well. I just found an ad in US News about that option. Keep a backup of your genealogy files at home, or wherever else (safety deposit box?) As with all computer data, it can get lost or damaged. Password-protect your computer. Keep a small notebook available for commenting on photos you take - it's often amazingly hard to remember what you snapped and why! Don't bother with travelers' checks, though! we did, on our last trip in 1997, and found out that (a) most shops and restaurants don't accept them, even in sterling, costs them too much to cash; (b) you can cash them at banks, for an outrageous fee; (c) a Visa debit card works in ATMs over there to get cash as you need it, at a charge that is usually less than you pay at other banks' ATM's here, and no exchange rate problems. Keep your carbons -we got hit by a restaurant in Hove, just after returning to the USA - someone tried to bill tile purchases in Brighton worth over $1,000 after we'd already left England, and it took several weeks to straighten that out! A plastic mac (available cheaply there) may help protect you and your gear against inclement weather! On one trip, years ago, we visited the Tower of London, and when leaving the nearest Tube station, there was a man selling umbrellas for £2; the price didn't increase though the rain was coming down in buckets! Finally, wheels on your baggage! Very important especially for Gatwick where there is a lot of walking and carrying baggage is tiring for the long distances inside the airport. Hope this helps Martin Willcocks Taylorsville, UT. USA.

Question to Ann and others who have done research on the island: What do you recommend that I bring with me for researching while I am there? My laptop of course, notebook & pencil/pen, digital camera. Will be there the first week of October; what weather do I plan for? I anticipate cool and/or wet - good guess? I'll actually be arriving in mid-Sept, but will be staying with family in Lewes. Looking forward to meeting my grandmother's brother - the only surviving member of that generation in my entire family. I am so excited about this, and find as the time prior to departure shortens the list of things to do seems to lengthen proportionally. Go figure? Researching MURSELL, REED, SAVAGE, SHAW.

Thank-you to all those who pointed out that `Washbourne' is in fact West Cowes. A subscriber has confirmed that the firm was called Redferns. Does anyone know of any IOW archive or library that might have information on this firm - I gather they were in a big way and led the field in making `casual' clothing for smart women - or as casual as Victorian ladies were allowed to be!
