Hello, I have just received a birth certificate for Thomas William HARDING, the son of Henry George HARDING (my gt.gt.Grandfather) and Ann HARDING (HORLOCK). The birth on the sixteenth of July 1846, is shown as being in the District of Ryde and the birth address is given as Hillyards. Does anyone please know what or where this is? It could be in the Brading area. Any ideas would be most welcome. John of Kent

Shanklin may be approached by the sea shore at low water or by Lake and Hillyards, if the high road be preferred. At this delightful village seem assembled all the charms of rural scenery, hill, wood, valley, corn field and water; aided by the wide extended ocean, reaching to the eastern horizon, with the majestic white cliffs of Culver at the extremity of the bay on the left, and the long range of cliffs of every hue and colour gradually declining in height as the eye glances along to the cottages of Sandown, and then again imperceptibly rising to their highest point of elevation......... http://www.fullbooks.com/The-Mirror-of-Literature-Amusement-andx1247.html TINY URL LINK http://tinyurl.com/6mjuy Chris and Caroline John wrote > > >Hello, >I have just received a birth certificate for Thomas William HARDING, the son >of Henry George HARDING (my gt.gt.Grandfather) and Ann HARDING (HORLOCK). >The birth on the sixteenth of July 1846, is shown as being in the District >of Ryde and the birth address is given as Hillyards.
