Hi Everyone,

I am new to this list, researching the family of Horatio GODFREY
(c.1832-1896).

I have found Horatio GODFREY on the 1861, 1871, 1881, and 1891 censuses,
when he was working as a butler in Bath and Bristol.

His birthplace is always given as Isle of Wight, and in a couple of cases
Cowes is specifically mentioned.

From his age on the various census returns he seems to have been born
between 1831-1834. Since this was just before registration began I'm finding
it difficult to discover more about his parents. Does anyone know if there
are indexes to the Isle of Wight censuses for 1841 and 1851? If so, maybe I
could find details of his family there?

The other possibility would be the parish records for Cowes. Have any of
these been published for the period 1800-1837?

Any help in discovering more about Horatio GODFREY and his family would be
much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Dave Moore
