Becky, according to Family Search IGI, John Moone married to Susan in Alverstoke in 1633. He died on 12/08/1655 but it doesn't say where. He had 3 daughters Sarah,Susanne and Mary.
Will check out this marriage as well.....subject to being able to find it!!

Hello Lesley,
Thank you for the attempt. I understand about the illegibility of old records. There is a perish register, accessible through the FHL site, for the part of Isle of Wight County where they settled. I've been able to glean a few things from it about some of their descendants and it doesn't start until the 1700s. That was difficult enough to read. Authentication of the marriage would be great. And whether her name was Anne or Emme, if at all possible. I realize it may not be. In the writing of the time, the names would look very similar.
Also, I would like to know if there is record in the parish of a marriage there between John and a woman named Susan. Say sometime between 1620 and 1635. I know Susan, his wife, arrived in Virginia within a year or two of 1635 via land patent information. I think their three daughters were born in Virginia after that, but can't prove it.
Anything you could tell me would be very much appreciated.

Hello Becky,
Not sure I can be of much help with this one apart from checking the Parish Records of St. Marys Alverstoke for the record of the 1588 marriage of William Moone and Ann woodman. I am unable to do blanket searches as they are too time consuming and the records of that era are sometimes illegible and do not contain much info anyway!
Will post on here anything I may (or may not!) find as soon as I can.

Hello, Lesley, thank you so much for your kind offer.
I'm looking for the Moone family of Alverstoke in about 1600. The will of John Moone in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, says he was born in Berry near Gosport in the parish of "Stoak" in Hampshire. From the FHL site, I know that William Moone and his wife had seven children: Anne, Joane, Emme, Alice, John, Nicholas, and William. Nicholas and William may I have been twins. What I don't know is the name of John's mother. There is a book, Adventures of Purse and Person, which says she was Anne Woodman. I've even found an online genealogy that gives a date of marriage, May 9, 1588, but it gives no source. I can't find a record of this marriage through FHL, nor can I find an Anne Woodman born in time to be John's mother. I have found an Emme Woodman, daughter Edward, baptized in 1570. Anyway, I was wondering if you could find anything about any of these people in the parish records of Alverstoke. I'm thinking the church was St. Mary's.
Thank you so much.
Becky

Hi again Ray!
Nipped into Study Centre this afternoon and got a copy of the parish record for you.
John Cotton married Louisa Dugwell/Dagwell? Difficult to determine which! By Banns at St.Marys, Alverstoke.
Witness were George Burbidge and Nelly? Catherine Kennedy. Possibly Geo Burbidge is a Parish Clerk.
Let me know if you want me to scan copy through to you Ray. I know you are good a deciphering dodgy writing.
Also had a quick look at the IGI indexes for Hampshire on Fiches but not familiar with them and do not understand them! There were a lot of Dagwells though in Portsea!! Assume this is were you got you information from in the first place.

Hello Lesley,
In my never ending quest into the extended Whitcomb family in Alverstoke & Portsea I have come across another instance of a Catholic involvement thanks to Family Search having transcribed some Hampshire Catholic registers. In this particular case, a brother of my 3g Grandmother, I found both C of E and Catholic records. The family are recorded in the 1841 to 1871 census, the couple being a John Cotten & Lucy + various children. I was curious as to the maiden name of Lucy but found no clue like a marriage which led me to look further. Although the 1841 census had given the ages of the children I like to trace the relavent baptism records, and in this case there appeared no obvious matches until I noticed some Latin looking names in the Family Search list. The first example was:-
Lucia Cotton
Gender Female
Christening Date 01 Oct 1817
Christening Place
PORTSEA- RC,PORTSEA,HAMPSHIRE,ENGLAND
Father's Name Joannis Cotton
Mother's Name Luciae Dagwell
and as this tied in with the census data I was fairly certain I had got Lucy’s ( Luciae) maiden name. There were similar entries for the other children all christened at Portsea RC mission - except one who was christened at Portsea St Mary’s.
As marriages had to made in the established church at the time I searched for a possible event circa 1817, and found this:-
Name John Cotten
Spouse's Name Louisa Dugwell
Event Date 30 Sep 1816
Event Place Alverstoke,Hampshire,England
There is no further info as to this event, and it may be from a bishops transcript etc, but if on your next visit to the study center you could look to see if there is something more informative?

Originally posted by akissling View PostThanks Pumchsmum! I found it and it just lists him as a gentleman. I think his father might be Walter Bowler of Kinsale but can't be sure. I guess a burial record during that time period wouldn't have much more on it than his name anyway. He is a bit of a mystery. Thanks!

I was able to get it. Just no clues from what I can make out. It is very interesting and has information about his children (Mary, his only daughter is my ancestor). You weren't kidding about the older wills. While the writing is so neat and tidy it is very difficult to make out some of it!
