Title: Godshill records
Post by: carolmc on Saturday 02 August 25 21:31 BST (UK)

Hi can anyone tell me exactly where on the Isle of Wight the church records for Godshill are held. I've visited the church and are even more confused now. Any help appreciated, regards carolmc

Hi and thank you. Mum in law born Canada  her dad Edward Seymour Jobling born Ventnor. Have records back to 1658? Questionable the further back I go, including hairdressers in Northwood.  Husband has dna match in New zealand. Connections to Huddersfield and Newcastle upon Tyne Wondering how distance could make the journey? Brickwall remains! Regards carplmc
