When I read that subject heading I thought ' at last someone has researched back to Adam & Eve' Angela LOL

Am I missing something? The new 'attachment' system does not seem to make available all of the comments and queries printed on the subject list. Helen Martin

Hello List: I'm looking for information about my grandfather's oldest brother, William Edward BARNES, b. Farnham Surrey, 1878, married Alice Tredgett in Epping, 1901. He eventually landed on the IOW post-WWI, where he served as a police constable. Children married into the HUGHES and TOOGOOD families. I don't know where he lived on the Island. Is there any way of tracking police postings in the 1920s-30s time period? Thanks very much. Harold California

Our Curator, Graham Bennett, tells me that when Ventnor Station closed the model went to one of the attractions at Godshill. From there it went to the Woking Railwaymen's Retirement Home and then to a station at Bristol. We've now lost track of it since the early 1990s and despite requests in the railway press, no news has been forthcoming.

Hi Sally I noticed that you are researching the DENTON's. I have an Anne Pickworth DENTON who married George Humby RENOUF (my Gt.Grandparents). Her parents were Robert Henry DENTON and Malena MORTIMER. I have a bit more information on Anne's family (siblings, uncles and aunts). Do you think it may tie up with your family?

I went to school with a Mary LINNINGTON, from 1940 to about 1943 At Flying Bull Lane School in Pompey. I think she then lived in the Bevis Road/ Stamshaw area. She would be about 70 now.
