Me too, although I didn't have him on my tree but he will be now. John and Frances COOMBE had at least 8 children so there's some research to be going on with!
Thanks Mckha489. The MIDLANEs were my first foray into genealogy and the name leaps out as soon as I see it. There were quite a few on the Isle of Wight but my family branch was in the Havant area in the early 1800s. Do you have an interest in them?
