Dear Listers, George ABSALOM died in about 1802 and Esther/Hester in 1796. They were married in Carisbrooke in 1852. I believe they are my 5xgrandparents. My 3xgrandfather and 2xgrandfather, both also called George were also carpenters and lived in Portsea, Hampshire. I am trying to make a definite link by finding the names, ages and occupation of other ABSALOMs on the Isle of Wight. I would be most appreciative of any assistance. Rhoda OZ

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.
