2. Lacemakers on IOW - new info [1]
Dear Friends and Cousins, What an interesting day I had yesterday! It was the final gathering for the year of the Victorian branch of the Australian Lace Guild. I was there sitting opposite a delightful elderly English woman, Audrey LYONS, whom I've known for a year or so when we got talking to family origins etc. It turned out that Audrey's husband is from the IOW and they lived there for some 23 years after their marriage. I reckon Audrey would be around 75 years old now. When Audrey found out that my CO
3. CALLAWAY & VON KAENEL & BURNSIDE [1]
Hi, I'm new to this list. - I'm researching my paternal line from Switzerland - VON KAENEL or KAENEL.. I believe my gggrandfather's brother married a woman named CALLAWAY, born in 1890 in Ventnor, IOW and they then lived in Ryde. A sister Von Kaenel married BURNSIDE and lived in Thronton Heath. Another couple was Albert & Gwendoline Kaenel aka Von Kaenel - the Von Kaenels left Switzerland for England around 1775- 1880 I think. I am looking for any information regarding these people or their descendent
4. Ann HOUSE in 1600s Hants [1]
Hello Angela ... about six months ago you did an IOW lookup for me concerning Thomas HOUSE, a 1867 leather seller at 124 High Street in Ryde. You also mentioned that you have an Ann HOUSE marrying into your CLARKE family circa 1600s. Your e-mail addresss of six months ago doesn't work for me now, so I've sent this via our IOW user list (I hope our fellow listers will be understanding). I've now tracked Thomas HOUSE's ancestors to William HOUSE of Minstead Parish, Hants who died there 12 June 1772.
5. CARLEY & CHILDS information request [1]
Hello all, The next time anyone is doing any look-ups from the records, I would be grateful if they could extend their search to find details of my ggrandfather's marraige. His name was Charles William CHILDS, born in Blendworth, Hants c1852 son of John & Lucy, and he married an Ellen CARLEY c1870-75. I believe that Charles was living in Ventnor at the time (working on the railway) but the wedding could have been elsewhere on the Island. I am especially interested in positively identifying Ellen's parents

10. Re: 1781 Brightstone Baptisms [1]
Hi Joan : Congratulations on finding another cousin ! I was fascinated by the story of the Stage Coach - I wish I could help with some more information but sorry to say I can't. Just wanted to let you know that you confirmed the birth of one of my ancestors in your list of baptisms. i.e. Benjamin son of Wm. & Mary Cooper. I appreciate that piece of information as although I did have the date I wasn't completely sure on it and its always nice to get a positive confirmation, especially when its in the

12. Brown/Maund [1]
Hello List, Apologies, it was my intention to post the note on my BROWN & MAUND ancestors to the Hampshire List but typed in the wrong address. However, my grandmother, Gladys Elizabeth MAUND, born Southampton did marry 13 July 1919 at All Saints, Ryde, to my Grandfather Harry Cornelius PERKIS. I have information on the PERKIS family but have not progressed very far with the maternal line. Any help appreciated. Peter.

Dear Friends & Cousins, >I was quite surprised to see one Henry Rann recorded as being a lacemaker on >his daughters birth certificate of 23.8.1853, especially as 5 years later on >the birth of twin boys he is described as a carpenter. Does anyone know if >this is likely, or may it have been his wife's job? All I can say is that I am a lecturer for the Australian Lace Guild and that this skill comes down to me through a long line of male COLLYER lace makers. They of course came here to Australia from Brook

16. Databases - Off Subject! [1]
Hi. I am looking for a good template datebase structure to catalogue my record, tape and CD collection. The specification calls for each record tape or CD to have its own database record entry and for there to be a facility to search, find and list song/tune titles from amongst all the database records. The template must also be accesable from and convertible by Lotus Approach software. Thank you for your patience with off subject material.

Greetings from Sydney, Australia (the year 2000 Olympic city) from Toni McKay (nee Dudgeon) in this my first internet message. My IOW connection begins C1793 in Godshill which my ancestor JOSEPH SAYER gives as his birthplace in the 1851 census in which he is listed as a draper in the High Street, Newport, living with his wife MARY ANN SHIPPAM from Chichester and their children.

19. Isle-of-Wight Holiday 1912 #20 [1]
BRADING The Church. Though much restored, this is traditionally the oldest, and in the opinion of many, the most interesting church in the Island. It is said to have been founded during the closing years of the seventh century by St. Wilfred, sometime Bishop of York, who, expelled from his diocese for appealing to Rome, founded a monastery at Selsey on the Sussex coast, and thence sailed up Brading Harbour (which in those days extended to the spot on which the church stands), to convert the Jute
20. REDSTON(E) [1]
As a newcomer to the list I was interested in some recent extracts for baptisms in Brightstone, one of which added to my own information. I have also enjoyed articles on teachers, especially as earlier this year I acquired a copy of a teaching apprenticeship and certificate for BENJAMIN REDSTON 1843-1916, who was a pupil (apprentice) teacher at Carrisbrooke National School 1857-1862. I am interested in any REDSTON (E) refernces. Richard Jeffery on a sunny day in Sussex.
21. Family VILE/CARTER [1]
Hello to all! I am new to the list and would like to list my interests. I am looking for anyone who is searching the surname VILE, for my husband. On the children's birth certificates it says that Joseph VILE was a gamekeeper for the Queen. Joseph VILE b. Stoke Abbot, Dorset, Eng. abt. 1834-36; married Frances Mary CARTER abt. 1856-57. Where do I find the birth, marriage and death records and dates for them. Are there church records transcribed? Is it possible they died on IOW? In 1881 the family was li

Walks From Seaview To Ryde (2 3/4 miles). By the Duver Road, in front of the Seafield Estate. At Puckpool Park the road turns inland, and the walk may be continued either along the sea-wall, or, except at high tide, by the sands. After passing the picturesque Appley Tower, Ryde is entered close to the Canoe Lake. Those who turn inland by the road at Puckpool Park will enter Ryde near St. John's Church. To St. Helen's or Bembridge. This is a very pleasant footpath ramble. From the boat-house at

25. Corkheads - Caulkheads [1]
Hi Listmates I am in conversation with another Islander - off list - regarding the origins of the nickname given to Islanders. As a youngster, I was led to believe by my parents that Islanders were known as 'Corkheads' by mainlanders because during the rescue of passengers from a shipwrecked ferry in the Solent only the Islanders survived because their heads bobbed about like corks in the water. My correspondent - Nigel Barnes, suggests that we were called 'Caulkheads' because of the fact that due to the
