Hello IOW list, I am new to the list (although I have visited a few times and read through the archives), the names I am researching at the moment are; JOHN WILLIAM(S) KEMP born abt 1815 Ryde? IOW THOMAS KEMP father of above JOHN HARDING born abt 1784 Kingston IOW married to HANNAH JEANS born abt 1788 Kingston IOW JOHN COWARD born abt 1799 Brixton/Shalfleet/Calbourne? married to SARAH ??? JOHN DYER married abt 1824 to MARY ANN ELSBURY (ADAMS) I have noticed quite a few Dyers on the list, however my John Dyers children were all born in the Carisbrooke/Newport area, and I cannot yet find a connection to them. Last time I went home to the Island I visited Chale churchyard and have a list of the following names (with dates) buried there, which I will put on my next posting. HARDING COWARD JEAN(E)S DYER(S) Hope these help someone, Sally. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of 56k?
