ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
While on the hunt for my Louisa Mary Bonny VOSPER (prob born before 1840) I
encountered a family (via the IGI) almost all of whom had multiple christian
names. James and Sarah VOSPER's children were all christened Holy Trinity,
Gosport(snip).....

I was interested in the connection between VOSPER and Gosport - Forgive me
if you have already heard of VOSPER THORNYCROFT at Southampton right next to
Gosport. But if you haven't you might like to take a look at this site, it
was the 'brainchild' of 2 men, Herbert E VOSPER and Sir John I THORNYCROFT.
Could there be some connection? I noted Eve said "you have probably got an
up-market family there".
