Completed: Isle of Wight - a house at Parkhurst, near Newport
« on: Friday 13 December 13 23:27 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I have a listing, from 1932, that gives an address as, "Devonia" Parkhurst, nr Newport. IOW. - I initially thought house/property was called  "Boronia" but others have suggested "Devonia" - see poor quality scan.

I am keen to learn if anyone knows of this house / location.
 
I have found a "Devonia" that is  (and was) at Newchurch, nr Sandown, Shanklin but the location of that property could hardly be described as at Parkhurst, nr Newport; the distance is too great!

Any suggestions about the Parkhurst address would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi

Can you tell us what your interest is in the house - are you researching the occupants?  If so - what was the family name as they may appear on street directories

Hello Carole, I'm not sure if the person actually lived there or was only visiting.  Main surname = HARROW (if resident then, only from 1928 to 1932) who may have been visiting BUSH.

Thanks

Just looking in the 1911 census addresses, there is a house called Devonia in Baring Road, Cowes, and another one in Stephenson Road, Cowes

Thank you Shaun for finding the homes - it looks like Devonia was a popular name!
