Sick of them? Most definitely not! They are entertaining as well as giving us an insight into the lives of our forebears. I keep hoping that you will have found some of 'mine' but mine were from an earlier period. The amazing thing is that this information has travelled such a long way. Some time I will post my interests. Then, if anyone has the same names, I will send them the transcripts I have done.

Aug 1857 Ben JUPE, the cook at Parkhurst Prison was charged with assaulting Charlotte the wife of George ASH of Gunville. The complainant proved that her husband & the defendant were at high words, when the latter ground his teeth, flung the cap in her face and left marks there. All the females in the family corroborated the statement, but one of the male members of the family Henry ASH, who appeared to be one a rather cooler temperament declined to swear it was intentional assault, (long article). Conflict arose out of theft of some money, court dismissed the charge and advised the parties to go home and live more harmoniously . John DENHAM - Nelson Inn , Open after hours Elizabeth RIDINGS - theft of wearing apparel , remanded Cowes - Our hotel and lodgings houses are full and will continue most probably for the short term, but the ' good old times' when beds were a guinea per night will never again return All mail scanned with AVAST 2007 No trees were killed in the sending of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced ************************************** You can contact the Isle of Wight List Administrator by emailing: [email protected] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
