Hi everyone, Does anyone have any information on Stickworth Hall, Arreton. I know nothing at all but have been told that TABITHA TYLER is shown as a servant there on the 1841 Census. Who were the owners, was it a large house and does it still exist? Thanks Sally Malyon

Sally, My maternal ggrandfather was employed at Stickworth Hall in the 1860s. This is the reply I received from the County Archivist at the IoW Record Office. While it does not answer your query directly, it may help in your search. John Noakes Dear Mr. Noakes, Thankyou for your e-mail about Stickworth Hall in the 1860's. This office holds directories for the Isle of Wight, and this shows that Charles Halson was listed as resident in 1859 and Mrs Halson in 1871. On the 1861 census the couple are listed as aged 67 and 64, both being born in Middlesex, as was their daughter in her twenties. He was a land and fundholder, and they had a footman, a maid and a gardener, and so their establishment was not particularly large. Your ancestor was not listed in 1861 at Stickworth. I hope that this information will prove to be of use to you Yours sincerely, Richard Smout

In the 1871 census I have found William G Parcell living at Stickworth Cottage, IOW. Can anyone please give me an idea where the cottage might have been please? I know that William's father worked at Stickworth Hall so I expect the cottage would be nearby. Thanks, John Noakes, Aldershot -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
