Thanks to April for replying and to Lesley. Apparently the 90 minutes can be taken (once you have registered and signed in) anytime between 9 am and pm you choose but your free 90 minutes will run from the time you sign in and start - so get prepared to research List!

Hello all I am new to this list and am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of information about any of the following former residents of the IOW. Tom Gerald RAWSON was b abt 1888 Leyton Essex, d Dec Qtr 1957 IOW, m Mar Qtr 1928 to Maud Irene BROWNE (b abt 1900). Tom had business interests in India and travelled there frequently, but from about 1929 he gives his address as Freshwater Bay, IOW. According to the telephone directories from the time, he lived in houses known as The Homestead, Hill Cottage, and Afton Rise Bungalow. I do not know when or where his wife died (IOW???). Emily Clark ANDERSON (b 1860 Lancashire) and her younger sister Jane Huntley ANDERSON (b 1865 Lancashire) lived on the IOW from about the late 1890s until their respective deaths in 1951 and 1942. They initially lived for a short while at Brookfield Lodge near Ryde, then at Ivy Lodge, Freshwater. I imagine that they would both have been very involved in their community (i.e. church, etc) and it would be interesting to know if any records survive that might give an insight into their lives. Also, would it be likely there was an obituary in the local newspaper? Emily was 91 when she died and I'm sure she would have been known by many. Would they have been buried on the IOW? Any help very much appreciated. Anne (in Australia)

This may be of interest to all the members. Lesley Abraham, Kite Hill Farm, Wootton Bridge. Subject: FW: Isle of Wight Council News Release: ONLINE DATABASES LAUNCHED TO HELP HISTORIC RESEARCH Researching parts of the Isle of Wight's history is now a lot easier thanks to new online information. Isle of Wight Council's Heritage Service has launched a range of Internet index databases that are accessible through the council's website - www.iwight.com The index databases allows visitors to look up a specific record, get the index number and visit Newport's County Records Office and request the information. It saves having to look through large amounts of historic records to get the information you are looking for. Among the index databases available include a list of apprenticeship indentures in Newport between 1689 - 1835 and a Cowes registry of shipping between 1786 - 1930. Isle of Wight Council's Heritage Service Manager Richard Smout said "The online index databases gives the public greater access while also providing an idea of what information is held at the records office. "It also helps cut down on the use of paper documents that are not of relevance to visits, which not only saves time for customers searching for records, but also helps protect our original documents from wear and tear. "Searching online also gives a fascinating glimpse into life here centuries ago. For example, one interesting database is those of alehouse licences awarded in Newport borough between 1766 - 1819. Many people on the Island probably didn't know there were pubs called The Pig and Carrot and The Shoulder of Mutton in Newport - all very different from today's pubs" Visitors accessing iwight.com to view the databases can also use an online guide to help them find the information they are searching for.

Calling all descendants of Clara Scovell. Clara was born Clara Ann Morris 3/2/1868 Appleford. Married Frank/Danial Scovel. Jobbing gardener. 1889. Clara died 1941 Ventnor. One of their daughters was Dora Constance May born 12/5/1889. Dora emmigrated to USA17/2. Married David Cifford 5/4/1916. Their only daughter Dora was born 1917. She was with her parents 1930 census age 13 years. David died Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut 25/6/1934. Address 20 Garden Street, Stamford. His wife Dora Constance May died Connecticut Valley Hospital 16/8/1936. Home address was 791, Atalantic Street, Stamford. She was a pauper. There is no trace of their only daughter Dora who was 13 years old in the 1930 census. I am hoping that this information might jolt a descendants memory as to what cpuld have happened to Dora. I would love to know. Kind regards. April Clark nee Morris UK

Hi, This is my first query to this List. I am hopeful that someone within Hampshire might do a lookup for me. (See below). Ryde is of interest to me for it perhaps is the birthplace of my Great (X4) Grandmother, Nancy Hunter. I know that she was born in England around 1789. The only clue I have at this point is an IGI Citation (which I am told "can be suspect"). which is: "Nancy Hunter, Female, Christening 31 Dec 1790, Ryde, Hampshire, England. Parents are James and Ann Hunter". Perhaps the Church register will provide confirmation as well as a bit more information. Thank you.
