Hi, my name is Vikki Cooper and I am married to Howard who is from New Zealand. We are trying to trace his family history , and know that he has roots to the Attrill family from IOW. The information that we have is of a Richard Attrill , who was a sailor/ mariner, going to NZ and marrying a Maori girl. They had a daughter who is my husbands` great-grandmother. We are not sure whether Richard returned to the UK and married again. We believe that he was born in 1838 and christened in 1839. The Maori girl had the surname of Wade. I hope that somebody may be able to shed some light! My email address is vikkifulton@hotmail.com.

Ann Phillips Gray now lives in New Zealand - emigrating from the IOW in 1973.She has put together her family tree which is shown below as I received it by e-mail. Ann's E-Mail is ann_pg@hotmail.com.
