I've not been having much luck either.
There is an inventory for a Devereus Hoyat of Herne dated 1727, PRC/27/42/6

It's an interesting read and raises the dilemma of whether you should tell. I'm not sure what I'd have done. Is ignorance bliss or do they have a 'right' to be told?

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Baptism of Joseph Whiffen Humby - Portsmouth
« on: Tuesday 03 June 25 16:44 BST (UK) »
The Portsmouth History Centre has baptisms for Orange St Chapel 1785- 1893
https://www.rootschat.com/links/01tsv/
It looks as though they have been transcribed on BMDRegisters
https://www.rootschat.com/links/01tsw/
which shows several children of Joseph HUMBY being baptised but the earliest is 1812.

None of those look like the occupation on the marriage entry. Were there any other children that you could get the marriage certificate for? It may not be worth the cost though.

There is a Railway Archive that can be searched for incidents, however it is not complete
https://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk/eventlisting.php
There's another database for downloading at the bottom of this web page
https://www.railwayaccidents.port.ac.uk/the-accidents/
I can't see anything for a Jeffrey Iveson.

Someone has commented: "Apparently that row was originally called "Wilmot House, Mansford Buildings, and Toye's Buildings, after the builder Samuel Toye." Built from 1880-1889."
