Dear Andrea, Ian and all, My gggrandfather Joseph MOREY b.1797, Carisbrooke, left the Isle and went to London. I recently discovered a marriage in 1827 at St Marylebone parish church between a Joseph MOREY and Maria HOBBS, unfortunately the parish register entry is unhelpful stating they were 'of the pariih'. I believe this is Joseph's marriage, the date and place are about right My gggrandmother, Maria MOREY is enumerated in the censuses as being born in Gloucester and the ages would give a birth date of 1796/7. Is Maria connected to HOBBS on the Isle, perhaps she moved there? Bit of a longshot but I would be grateful for any help. Regards, Mike Morey Streatham, London
