Glad you enjoyed the link.

These may help narrow down where 'your' Horse & Groom was,

COXHEAD Frances Mary, Horse & Groom Inn Pyle Street

Looking at the image of the 1861 census on the next page is Thomas W FRYER, Roman Catholic Priest of the Chapel of St Thomas, this Church is at the end of Pyle St. near the junction with New Street www.stthomaschurchiow.co.uk

hi

Would you like me to have a look at anything for you? I live not too far from Trafalgar Road. If you need me to look at any buildings just send me a message.

I don't think the Horse and Groom, Ningwood referred to in this thread is the same as that in Pyle Street, Newport. It's about 6 miles distant.

The Horse and Groom, Ningwood is in Shalfleet Census District and the 1861 Census gives Harriett Wilkinson as the Innkeeper.

I have just joined this forum Rover after I spotted your posting re the old Coach & Horses at Pyle St.Newport.  My Great Grandfather and my Great Great Grandfather with wife and children all lived at the Coach and Horses at the same time as your family i.e. 1861. I also have a note of my family at 84 Pyle St in 1854 but not sure if this is the same addresss.

I hope you spot my posting as have not discovered how to send anyone a private message/email via this forum but I would be pleased to make that contact with you.
