Hello Everybody I'm just introducing myself and asking for any help in tracing Agnes Linnington who was 20 and living in Newport with the Coster family in 1881 aged 20. Then I have lost her she possibly married and went to America, all help appreciated. My main family intrests are the Coster and Odell I.o.Wight families. Thank You All Bob Ferguson (Walsall U.K.)

Hello everyone I have been reading the list since I joined some months ago, and am very impressed how helpful you all are. I am in need of assistance with tracing the parents of my great-great-grandfather JOHN FILLBROOK. He married JANE SAUNDERS (widow - formerly SALTER) in Brading on 29th Sept.1831. On the marriage record it stated John Fillbrook of Newchurch IoW. I have been unable to trace the birth of a John Fillbrook in the IoW through the IGI, only a John Philbrick in Essex in the correct year of 1807. On the 1841 census it shows John and Jane Fillbrook with 6 children living at St. Derwood Cottage, St. Helens, and states "all but John born in the County of Hants", John aged 30. John died on 2.12.1843 in Canada St Helens aged 36 (which would have made him 34 in 1841). On the childrens birth records his occupation was shown as "Porter". On the 1841 census it also showed Henry Fillbrook living with John's family, possibly his brother or cousin. The John Philbrook born in 1807 in Essex has a cousin Henry. Through the years the surname spelling changed several times and ended up as PHILBRICK. I have records of all the family from the marriage of John and Jane down to myself. Most of John and Jane's children moved to Gosport and Portsmouth in the late 1800's. If anyone can help me with where JOHN was born I would be most grateful. Here's hoping someone can help, with many thanks, Daphne Forder, Adelaide, Australia.

Hi All, Just to say thanks to all who answered my cry for help. All the information received has let me further my research. Again many thanks Steve.

Hello Cynthia Some of the earlier WARNE's were situated around the Ringwood area, but going by the GRO indexes from 1837, the bigger percentage were in the west country of Devon and Cornwall, then by the time of the 1858 Wills, they had scattered far and wide. I do have some other WARNE researchers names, which I will try to contact for you. I will get back to you about that off-list. >> > I am looking for any information or other Warn researchers. > > Cynthia Warn > best wishes, Ann Barrett. Isle of Wight http://members.lycos.co.uk/s0uthbury/

Hello Steve I do have your particular line of WEARN/WARNE family going back to 1765 Godshill (John WEARN &Jane URRY), this line, apart from the usual few variations, was the former spelling of WEARN, until it reached your Frederick and then they used WARNE. Compared with some other surnames, this one was fairly consistent, with only a few WARN AND WERN's. A lot depended on the spoken word, the local dialect and how it was interpreted by the person who wrote it down. If you would like to let me know off-list how far have got already, I will fill in the gaps. best wishes, Ann Barrett. Isle of Wight http://members.lycos.co.uk/s0uthbury/

Hello Steve I was on this web site yesterday; http://members.lycos.co.uk/s0uthbury/ The site owner is Ann Barrett who has done extensive research on the Islands history & it's people.

Well it always pays to read the fine print :-( No wonder I only had 6 Midlane's in the Surname Index I have ! It only covers Vol 53 -59 . For a moment I thought David was using a crystal ball ! Angela

Hi Debbie, The subject of the William and Mary's children is a little complicated. There were two couples in Bembridge both called William and Mary SEARLE. I'm still trying to unravel which children belong to which couple. The two Williams were uncle and nephew, so the tree meets up further back. At the moment I am not clear which ones are Isaac's parents. I have the same problem with my g-g-g-grandfather Cornelius who was born in 1811. This is what I provisionally have for the family tree going further back: Alexander SEARLE (b.circa 1616) had a son: John SEARLE (bap.15 mar 1636/7, mar. 26 Jan 1660 to Annis COTTON). They had a son: John SEARLE (bap. 9 Apr 1663, mar. 1689 to Mary TUTTEN). They had several children including: Thomas SEARLE (bap 25 Jul 1701) had several children including: Thomas SEARLE (bap.1 Feb 1732, mar. 13 Nov 1756 Ann WOODNUT) had several children including: Thomas SEARLE (bap. Feb 1764, mar. 19 Feb 1782 to Susannah HOLLIS, bur. 27 Dec 1812) and William SEARLE (bap. 21 Apr 1765, mar. 3 Jul 1788 to Mary DEVENISH) Thomas and Susannah then had several children including: William SEARLE (bap. 15 Jul 1782, mar. 30 Sep 1802 to Mary DYER) Then the two William and Mary's had several children which included: Isaac SEARLE (bap. 16 Sep 1804, mar. 8 Oct 1821 to Charlotte MACKETT, died 1848) Cornelius SEARLE (bap. 1 Sep 1811, mar. 11 Jun 1829 to Jane BAILEY, died 1880) I hope this is of some help. If I get more information about the William's and Mary's I will let you know. I think one of the Mary's ended up in the workhouse (House of Industry), with some children, but I need to investigate this further.

Dear Listers: I would like to make contact with Dorothy Ovenden (I tried her e-mail but no response) or the person(s) who compiled a descendancy chart that I obtained on Thomas Hardley (died 1637) married to Susanna.

Hello I am interested in the Sterling family who were on the 1901 census living at 4 St Johns Villa, Ryde. Charles H, 45 Ada L (nee Jacob) 36 Ruby 12 Roland 11 Gilbert 10 all born London Antoinette 7 Violet 6 Kathleen 4 Adela 1 all born IoW The IoW BDM site suggests that there is another child, David born later, and that all the girls married on the Island. Roland's death is recorded on the Commonwealth War Graves site for WW1. More than that I don't know. I am not sure at the moment if this family is 'mine' but I'd very much like to contact anyone who may be connected to this family or who could tell me more. Thank you in advance Debbie Beavis

Greetings! I have some MIDLANEs in my tree but they are William, born 1790 and his wife Matilda CAWS, married 1814. Their daughter, another Matilda married into my YATES family. Midlane seems to have been a very common name at one time. I have another contact here in New Zealand who is also researching this name but we have not found a connection yet.
