Hi Phil, No one seems to have replied to your enquiry so I'll throw in my ten-cents worth. I'm not researching Fleming but I am interested in the List brothers, shipbuilders, who in 1809 leased land at Fishbourne, IOW, for a shipbuilding yard from the Fleming family of Stoneham Park near Southampton. The family were the descendants of Thomas Fleming, son of a Newport mercer, who was Lord Chief Justice under Elizabeth I and James I. I have some information on this family which in the 19th century owned most of the parish of Binstead in which Fishbourne is located.. Harry Willis Fleming, a descendant, runs an excellent website - The Willis Fleming Historical Trust. I also have in my files Michael Fleming, parents unknown, who married Joan Walker in Victoria, Australia, in 1952. I also have two IOW Rogers - Jenny Rogers, parents unknown, m. Thomas Joliffe in the IOW in 1731 - Mary Rogers, parents unknown, who m. James Brain in Portsea, Hants, in 1791. James Brain was connected to the Fishbourne Lists. Good hunting, Peter Gawn Sechelt, B.C., Canada. Hello Isle of Wight listers, I am wondering who currently is researching the FLEMING family of Godshill/Roude area. At the head of my tree is John Fleming bn about 1729 who was a Yeoman of Roude. He married Mary ROGERS in 1754 at Godshill. I have never been able to find anything further back than John's assumed birthdate so I thought it might be a good time to ask the List if anyone else is researching this family which traces to me via my mother, her father having been born at Godshill at Sheepwash Farm.

Hello Jon, With regard to Terence's Uncle's burial, it was on the Island in 1927. I found a link for him - Cass J WOODFORD married Janet HILL in 1912 on IOW Maud Lilian HILL married Harry PLUMBLEY on 30 October 1907 at Whitwell on IOW. I'm assuming that these ladies were sisters, however I haven't found a child to the PLUMBLEY / HILL marriage which would match N PLUMBLEY as being Cass' nephew. I too have adults that as a child I referred to as Aunt / Uncle, but am not related to them - I believe it was a mark of respect.

Terence Where and when was the burial that you refer to? Don't be too surprised if this turns into a false trail, certainly when I was a nipper on the Island there were many people I referred to as Uncle or Auntie or Cousin, many of which were not (knowingly) related at all.

Hello. I have an uncle, Arthur William WOODFORD born 1874 at Calbourne.The 1901 census listed him in Wiltshire together with his wife Gertrude b. 1877 and daughter, Gwen b. 1900. They were last known to have resided at Cranleigh in Surrey. I would appreciate assistance with dates of death and possibly a marriage for Gwen. Terence

Hello Rob I gave the copies to the record office quite some years ago, and at the time a whole pile of the originals were for sale in a local book shop.

Hello from Australia, I am seeking any direction, information about how to trace CAPLEN & HALL families, originally from Isle of Wight I believe. I have the following: John HALL, born c 1792 IOW - immigrated 1830 on Chatham. Married Harriet CAPLEN in Hobart. Bookseller and publisher in Hobart. I am very keen to confirm some information about the parents and further background to these families to determine links to my own, so any assistance greatly appreciated.

I think maybe I need a little help here. I have HENRY MORRIS from Niton born 1861. Godshill mother nee name Plumbley. He married a Rose E and then emigrated from Liverpool to US. departing on the 27/1/1897. Having searched everywhere for a marriage for them, I am asking if there is anyone else researching this particular Morris family. Kind regards. April
Dear Karen and all, I have found this following website to be somewhat of a help when searching for vitals, especially death records, in US states that are not very easy to search. http://www.deathindexes.com/ There are some Westchester county records available but from my experience of trying to find family in Younkers, Westchester, NY, they can be hit-or-miss. They do have some naturalization records for that area. While those records may not be helpful in finding Dora Scovell Clifford since her citizenship would have been based on her husband's at that time, they might work to find David Clifford if he was not born in the US. They are also updating the records periodically. I also found 3 additional records in the New York Passenger Arrival Lists, 1892-1924 for her "arrival" in the US through Ellis Island - February 17, 1910; March 5, 1910; and December 14, 1913. In the first 2 she listed IOW and Niton, IOW as her place of residence and in 1913, she listed Bedford, Westchester, New Jersey (This should have been New York as there is no Bedford, New Jersey). All ships left Southampton. Did she work for the shipping line?

New York is notoriously difficult for finding death records if you don't know exactly when and where the person died. I live 3000 miles from New York so am not able to check the New York State Archives in Albany or County records in Westchester County where I suspect she died. Another consideration is that they divorced before 1920. It was very common for persons to claim to be "widowed" on the census when, in fact, they were divorced and didn't want to suffer the stigma.

I have checked www.Find-a-Grave.com as well as www.interment.net with no success. I have considered that she may have died in child birth but there were no children living with her husband in the 1920 census. Also, remember the entire world was suffering with the flu pandemic at that time so she may have died from the flu.
