Find Ancestors

I am trying to find any Isle of Wight links between my Bannister/Banister family and others of the same name.
My great grandfather was Archibald Bertram Bannister (b. 1844 in Yarmouth). He had a brother, William Walter (b. and d. 1841), and a sister, Emily (b.1845 in Yarmouth).

Their father was William Banister (b.1812 in Yarmouth, died 1845), and their mother Anna Young (b. 1814 in Winterslow, Wiltshire). After William's death in 1845, Anna married Charles Baggs. William's siblings were Elizabeth Jane (b. 1816 on IoW), Sarah (b. 1821 in Yarmouth), Emily (b. 1823 in Yarmouth), John (b. 1831), Eliza Ann (b.1834) and Martha Ellen (b. 1837 in Yarmouth).

Their parents were Timothy Bannister (b. 1785) and Elizabeth Reynolds (b.about 1788 in Newport). Timothy's siblings were Mary (b. 1788), George (b. 1789), John (b.1791), Anna (b. 1792), the oddly named Maria Matthews Bannister (b. 1794), and Sarah (b. 1796). Timothy and his siblings were all born in Cowes.

Their parents were Timothy Bannister (b. 1762) and probably Martha Ware (b. about 1762). And I believe Timothy's parents were James Bannister and Jenny Clarke (m. in 1741 in Northwood).

If anyone can add any further information about them - marriages, deaths, other brothers and sisters etc - and anything about the families they married into, I would be very grateful.

sorry if I have overloaded you - I got carried away a bit!!! Not far enough I hear you cry?

Too right! Not far enough. I have only just "discovered" your wonderful replies almost three years to the day since you posted them!!! O mea culpa. It's late so I will have a more detailed look at them tomorrow evening.
