I have a poser. (Haven't we all) I have DORA CONSTANCE MAY born April/June quarter 1889 to Daniel/Frank Scovell and his wife Clara in the Godshill/Whitwell area. Try as I might, I cannot find a marriage or death for her. Is there anyone else researching the Scovell family who might be able to help? Thank you and kind regards. April nee Morris

April, A couple of things that may help (or comlicate): Dora Contance May was registered under the surname of Morris in Jun Q 1889 and also appears on the IoW site in that year with no fathers name given. If you google "Dora Scovell" (with the double quotes) one of the hits is Ellis Island, it has a free registration, there are 2 possibles on that list, right name and age from Isle of White (sic). The passenger lists on Ancestry has a Dora Scovell (waitress) aged 25 arriving at Southampton in 1913, it is possible she worked on the ships as a waitress or in fact emigrated to the US. Hope that gives you other paths to follow. Bob Hills
