Have KEZIA TYLER b. 1847 marrying CHARLES WILLIAM GREENSHIELDS, Draper of Newport and first son EDGAR WILLIAM TYLER GREENSHIELDS b.1877 Newport who may have gone on to be a 'missionary to Eskimos'!!!! Does anyone have a connection or know of a draper of that name in Newport? Regards Sally Malyon Researching; TYLER, KEARLEY, PEACH, STEPHENS, PIPER, WHITFIELD, WAVELL

Hello IoW listers, I have just rejoined the list, having previously enjoyed much assistance on the WAY and ELDRIDGE families. I have found in the 1798 will of William WAY (husband of Mary WHITEHEAD) that he left his "farm and lands called Croxforde and Barham in the parish of Arreton" to his eldest son James. Does anyone know anything about this/these farms - exactly where they were, whether they were two small and adjacent farms or two names for the one farm? I do not know the origin of this land - whether William WAY inherited it from his parents (Arthur WAY and Mary RAWKINS), though William had many brothers, whether it came from his wife's parents, though they lived in Brighstone, or whether he purchased it, though he seems to have been the first in a line of grocers & tea merchants in High Street Newport (and later London). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, George Legge Melbourne, Australia

Thank you all for the interesting and informative replies to my query. I appreciate the time put into writing them. I wish I had had such a good response a few years back when I enquired about cock fighting on the Island!! We had a week visiting your lovely Island a couple of years ago and I can visualise where the Hospital was and what it looked like. I'm so glad my ancestors lived there. Regards Raewyn

I am trying to find out any information on James and Frances (n Ring) BAYNES who lived at the Isle of Wight c 1820-1880, and/or their descendants. Many thanks Garry Australia

Apologies for the multiple copies sent! Currently experiencing a few technical problems. Obviously it is sending when it is telling me it hasn't! Cheers Suzanne

Thanks to everyone who has replied and helped me on the above and the WORKHOUSE. Best wishes Sally Malyon

Sally <If the place of death is given as Newport but the burial is Carisbrooke, does this mean the burial was in Newport but in the district of Carisbrooke or does it mean burial at the Church at Carisbrooke?> It could depend on the date and the context. Newport was originally a chapel of ease to Carisbrooke so there could have been a right of sepulchre (burial) at the mother church. Later on parts of Newport town/borough may have been in Carisbrooke parishes depending on the date and whereabouts in the town. Later too, once Church Litten in Newport was a bit crammed, the new cemetery was made at Mountjoy in Carisbrooke parish. Do any of those fit?
