Jo There are quite extensive records from the Isle of Wight Workhouse (the workhouse was in the parish of Carisbrooke but is for the entire Island). You should contact the isle of Wight Record Office to see exactly what they have. You can find their details at the following url: http://www.iow.gov.uk/library/record_office/ -----Original Message----- From: Jo [mailto:jo@stumpypost.co.uk] Sent: 15 January 2004 19:23 To: ISLE-OF-WIGHT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [IoW] Carisbrook Workhouse 1890's I wonder if anyone can help: do any records from Carisbrook workhouse exist? I am trying to trace admission information for a couple: Joseph and Dinah Eveleigh...they were in the workhouse in 1891 (aged in their 70's), and died some time in the 1890's...so maybe a death record too? They had originally come from Devon and Somerset, and their names are variously misspelt on documents ...so any help tracing IOW information about them would be wonderful.
