1.1 James Lawson 

1.1.1 James Lawson (322) was born circa 1580 in northern England or southern 

Scotland. He came to the Isle of Man around 1600 and appears to have settled in the 

north. From his Will we know that he married twice. His first wife was Isabel Cowle. 

The name of his second wife has not yet been determined but her existence is 

established by his Will. James died on the 5th of June, 1634. 

1.2 The Children of James Lawson & Isabel Cowle 

Number & Name Type & Birth date Place/Notes 

618 Richard C 1603 Maughold ?. Died 1654 

619 Robert C 1605 Maughold ?. 

620 Edward C 1607 Maughold ?, Died 1668 

1.2.1 Richard Lawson (618) was born in approximately 1603. He had at least three 

children and died in 1654. He was the direct ancestor of the Southern branch of the 

family, see Volume II, 1.5.1 for further details. 

1.2.2 Robert Lawson (619) was born in approximately 1605. He is named as an 

unmarried child in his mother’s Will of January, 1627-8. He was the probable 

ancestor of the Lonan branch of the family, see Volume II, 1.5.2 for further details. 

1.2.3 Edward Lawson (620) was born in approximately 1605. He is named as an 

unmarried child in his mother’s Will of January, 1627–28. He married Jony 

Christian in approximately 1628 at Andreas. The dates for these events have not 

been confirmed. Edward’s occupation has not been confirmed but he was likely 

employed in the milling trade through his wife. He died at Lezayre in 1668. 

The Bishop’s Court of the 11th of January, 1637, held at Jurby, records the divorce 

of William Gawen and Ann Kellie. Ann was accused of adultery with Edward 

Lawson of Andreas, by whom she had two children. She also had a third child by 

Thomas Kellie of Jurby. No names are given for any of these children. 

1.2.3.1 Jony Christian (621) would have been born in approximately 1610. Nothing is 

known of Jony’s parents. Considering that her grandson Edward became the miller 

at Lhen Mooar, it is interesting to note that a John McCristen was the miller at 

Breryk and Altadale in 1515. She died on the 26th of April, 1670.

625 Margaret C 1634 

626 Katherine C 1636 

627 Ann C 1638 

1.3.1 Richard Lawson (311) was born circa 1630. He married Bahee Kewn on the 1st of 

July, 1656, at Jurby. The witness’s names are not given, but both parties are of 

Jurby parish. Richard’s name was given as Ric. Losson. Richard was the miller at 

Lhen Mooar, Andreas, at the time of his marriage. Lhen Mooar is right on the border 

of Jurby and Andreas parishes. It is likely that the couple moved following their 

marriage as the known baptisms for their children took place at Andreas. Richard 



died at Andreas on the 17th of December, 1705 and was buried the next day at 

Jurby. See Volume II 1.17.1 for further details. 

1.3.1.1 Bahee Kewn (382) was born circa 1630 in Jurby, the daughter of Patt (320) and 

Joney (383) Kewin. She died in June 1703, as her Will, by affirmation, states that she 

was buried on the 8th of June at Andreas. 

1.3.2 John Lawson (624) was baptized at Jurby on the 9th of January, 1631. 

1.3.3 Katherine Lawson (626) was born circa 1636. 

1.3.4 Ann Lawson (627) was born circa 1638. 

1.4 The Children of Richard Lawson & Bahee Kewn

608 Margaret B 21st Sep 1670 Andreas 

609 Ellin B 3rd Ooct 1673 Andreas 

610 Jane C 1675 Andreas 

The details of the this family have not yet been confirmed. Given that there is thirty 

years between the baptism of Thomas and the approximate birth year of Jane, it is 

unlikely that the listed children had the same mother. However, Richard could 

have married more than once and we could have two families here. 

1.4.1 Bahee Lawson (446) was born in approximately 1657. She married Thomas Clark 

in 1678. She inherited 12s 3d from her mother in 1703. She died in April, 1704. See 

Volume II, . 

1.4.2 James Lawson (605) was born in approximately 1660. He married Catherine 

Kannen in 1682. There were five children of the marriage. He followed his father as 

the miller at Lhen Mooar and was, in turn, succeeded at the mill by his son John. He 

died on the 13th of April, 1712. See Volume II, for further details of James and his 

descendants. 

1.4.3 Mary Lawson (606) was born in approximately 1662. She was left 10s in her 

mother’s Will. Her father’s Will acknowledged that the debt was still outstanding 

and she was left an additional two shillings. She married Stephen Cleator circa 1680, 

see Volume II, . 

1.4.4 Jony Lawson (607) was born in approximately 1664. She was left a yard of linen 

by her mother and a candall (candle ?) by her father. She married John Cowle circa 

1685, She died on the 1st of July, 1707. See Volume II, . 

1.4.5 Edward Lawson (544) was born in approximately 1668. He married Joney 

Kaneen (576) at Kirk Andreas in June 1701. His mother left him her share of the 

table in her Will of 1703. From the Ecclesiastical Court records we know he died 

intestate on the 14th August, 1736. The record provides us with the names of four 

of his children and tells us that he was a miller. See Volume II, 1.18.5. 

1.4.6 Margaret Lawson (608) was baptized on the 21 of September, 1670, at Andreas. 

She is not mentioned in her mother’s Will of 1703 nor in her father’s Will of 1705. 



However, in December of 1706 a Robert Quirk (321) is issuing a claim on her behalf 

for 9s 6d against the executors of her father’s Will. This would indicate that she was 

still alive at that time and probably married to Robert Quirk, see Volume II, 1.18.6. 

1.4.7 Ellinor Lawson (609) was baptized on the 3rd of October, 1673 at Andreas. She 

was known as Nelly. She married Daniel Corlett (1231) on the 15th of December, 

1722. She died on the 10th of May, 1733. See Volume II, 1.18.7 

1.4.8 Jane Lawson (610) was born in approximately 1675. She was left a yard of linen 

in her mother’s Will of 1703 and a blanket in her father’s Will of 1705. She appears 

to have been married twice; firstly to John Wade and secondly to Daniel Kneale on 

the 20th of August, 1709. She died in 1723. see Volume II, 1.17.8, 1.18.8. 

1.5 The Children of Edward Lawson & Joney Kaneen

580 Edward B 22nd Apr 1711 Andreas, died beofre 1733 

541 James B 2nd Jan 1714 Andreas 

1.5.1 Richard Lawson (577) was baptized at Kirk Andreas in August of 1703. On the 

30th of November, 1729, at Jurby he married Ann Caine (282) who died in 1747. At 

some undetermined time Richard moved to Douglas where he continued the family 

tradition of milling. For further details of his descendants see Volume II, 5.3 

1.5.2 Ann Lawson (578) was baptized at Kirk Andreas on the 27th of June, 1705. She is 

mentioned in her mother’s Will of 1733 when she inherited equally with her sister 

Bahee all her mother’s “shapd linen and wollen cloathes”. Presumably this referred 

to cloth that had been made up into clothing, or shaped, as distinct from “whole” 

cloth which was direct from the weaver. She married Thomas Corlett on the 13th of 

April, 1725. She died on the 2nd of April, 1758. See Volume II, 1.44.2 for further 

details. 

1.5.3 Bahee Lawson (579) was baptized at Kirk Andreas on the 9th of January, 1707 

and confirmed at Jurby on the 17th of October, 1725. In addition to the her share of 

the “shapd cloathes” mentioned in her mother’s Will, she also received a legacy of 

forty shillings, apparently the outstanding balance of a marriage contract. She 

married Andrew Quirk on the 27th of July, 1729. She died on the 25th of February, 

1773. See Volume II, 1.44.3 for further details. 

1.5.4 Edward Lawson (580) was baptized at Kirk Andreas on the 22nd of April, 1711. 

He died of smallpox shortly before his third birthday and was buried at Andreas on 

the 2nd of February, 1713–14. 

1.5.5 James Lawson (541) was baptized at Kirk Andreas on the 2nd of January, 1714. In 

1733 he was appointed his mother’s sole executor. As he was unmarried at this time, 

it is probable that he was still living with his parents though he probably moved to 

Onchan before 1740 for it was here that he married Catherine Killey (542) at Onchan 

Parish Church on 29th of April, 1740. 

Printed: Tuesday, 12th February, 2008 © Brian Lawson 1999, 2005 

Their first two children were born in Onchan, but by May 1744 James and his 

young family appear to have moved to Douglas, where the remaining six children 

were born. James was a wheelwright and joiner, and, apparently, a very successful 

one. He lived and worked in Drumgold Street, Douglas, at a property known as


“Parr’s Rent, N° 3” which consisted of a house and a garden. In 1784 he bought a 

second house, known as “Finch’s Rent, N°65”, for £42 from Paul and Mary Kelly. He 

died on the 24th of August, 1790. See Volume II, 5.12.1 for further details. 

1.5.5.1 Catherine Killey (542) was baptized on the 13th of February, 1726 ns, at Malew. 

She died in Douglas and was buried at Onchan on the 30th of May, 1795. It is 

through Catherine that any possible “Royal” connection may be established. See 

Volume II, 5.12.1 for further details.

548 Jane B 19th Oct 1756 St. Matthew, Douglas 

1.6.1 Elizabeth Lawson (566) was baptized on the 11th of February, 1740 os at Onchan. 

She died before her parents and apparently without issue as neither she nor her 

descendants is mentioned in her parent’s joint Will. She probably died in infancy. 

1.6.2 Catherine Lawson (543) was baptized on the 10th October, 1742 at Onchan. She 

married William Sayle on the 22nd of December, 1760. She was left £10 in her 

parent’s Will. See Volume II, 5.13.2 for further details. 

1.6.3 Edward Lawson (499) was baptized on the 2nd May, 1744 at St. Matthew’s, 

Douglas. He probably apprenticed to his father as a joiner and wheelwright. He 

spent his early life in Douglas where he married Anne Crellin (500) at Kirk Braddan 

on the 15th of October, 1780. The witnesses were James Lawson and Robert 

Douglas. His first two children were born in Douglas, but sometime between May 

1783 and 1787 the family moved to Peel, where the first Edward died and was 

buried, and the first William was born. The family had returned to Douglas by 1790 

when the second Edward was born. Edward was the major beneficiary in his 

parent’s Will of 1789, inheriting the main house and workshop, together with the 

tools, in Drumgold Street from his father. He died in on the 7th of January, 1825. See 

volume II, 5.13.3 for further details. 

1.6.4 Anne Lawson (545) was baptized on the 21 September, 1746 at St. Matthew’s, 

Douglas. She married Daniel Callow (561) on the 17th of April, 1787, at Braddan. At 

the death of her father in 1790 she was apparently without issue as she was left a 

half interest in the house purchased from Paul Kelly in 1784 with a provision that it 

was to revert of Catherine Cool (565) in the event that Ann died without issue. See 


1.6.5 Joney Lawson (546) was baptized on 16th November, 1748 at St. Matthew’s, 

Douglas. Joney is the Manx equivalent of Judith and she appears to have been 

known by the name Judy. She married Edward Roscoe (562) in on the 19th of 

January, 1778, at Liverpool. She appears to have moved to Liverpool at this time as 

the receipts for the £10 received from her parent’s Will were signed in Liverpool. 

She appears to have been without issue at the death of her father in 1790 (see Will). 

1.6.6 James Lawson (549) was baptized on the 7th of February, 1749 at St. Matthew’s, 

Douglas. He was left £10 in his parents Will. He married Ann Camaish on the 28th of 



November, 1775, at Kirk Braddan. He died on the 11th of September, 1835. See 


1.6.7 John Lawson (547) was born in 1752. Although not mentioned in his parent’s 

Will he married Ellinor Mc Nameer on the 6th of December, 1777, at Andreas. He 

was buried on the 25th of March, 1818, at Andreas. See Volume II, 5.13.7 for further 

details. 

1.6.8 Jane Lawson (548) was baptized on the 19th of October, 1756 at St. Matthew’s, 

Douglas. She married Henry Cooil on the 3rd of August, 1777, at Kirk Braddan. She 

was left a half interest in the house purchased from Paul Kelly in 1784. She died on 

the 8th of May, 1824. See Volume II, 5.13.8 for further details.

1.7.1 James Lawson (467) was baptized at St. George’s, Douglas on the 21 of October, 

1781. He married Ann Moore (see 13.44.1) at Lonan Parish Church on the 4th of 

January, 1806, when the witnesses were Richard Mealey and Thomas Quark. He 

was a baker and resided in Douglas. It is known that his brother Edward (501) was 

also working as a baker at the time of James’ marriage. James died on the 8th July 

1817, leaving six minor children, see Volume II, 5.14.1. 

1.7.2 Edward Lawson (567) was born in 1783. He died in 1787 and was buried at Peel 

on the 30th of December. 

1.7.3 William Lawson (568) was born in 1788 and baptized at German. He is presumed 

to have died in infancy. No further details are available. 

1.7.4 Edward Lawson (501) was born on the 15th of November, 1790, at Douglas. He 

was a baker in King Street and married Margaret Cottier on the 6th of December, 

1813 at Kirk Braddan. Edward died from drowning, probably on the night of 

Monday the 28th of October, 1850. There were eleven children of the marriage, see 


1.7.5 William Lawson (570) was born in 1794. He appears to have been mentally 

retarded for in his parent’s petition of 1815 he is described as “a perfect idiot” and 

in his brother Edward’s petition of November 1828 he is described as “being of 

weak intellect and totally incapable of earning a livelihood”. After the death of his 

parents, William appears to have been supported by his brother Edward and his 

nephew James Lawson (472). This support was the subject of several petitions. For a 

short time his niece, Ann Lawson (473), and her husband Mathias Cain (502) were 

also ordered to contribute to his upkeep, but this order was set aside. He was buried 

on the 5th of March, 1839, at Onchan.

1.8.6 Jane Lawson (476) was baptized on the 4th of August, 1816 at the church of St. 

George, Douglas. She married George Wright (741) in 1837. They probably moved

Sometime before 1861 he moved to Liverpool where he continued the family 

tradition of baking and where he married Agnes Bell McIndoe on the 12th of 

November, 1872 at the Islington Presbyterian Church in Liverpool. He is believed

2 - 2 Direct Kinrade Family History, Volume I 



2.1 Origins 

The name Kinrade, and it’s variations Kinread and Kinred, is derived from the 

Gaelic MacConRiada, the son of Cu Riada (Con is the genitive of Cu). Cu Riada 

translates as Riada’s Hound. A possible alternative derivation would be from the 

Manks MacKinraad, son of [the dweller at the] Road’s End. This second derivation 

is popular in folklore but is now generally considered to be somewhat fanciful. 

Various spellings have been noted (the earliest date for each variation is given): 

Kinread 1507; MacJohnRede (where John is an error for Con), Kinrede and Kynrede 

1515; Kinrade, Kinred and Kindred 1611; Kynred 1611; Kenred 1677; Kingread 

1763; Kinraid 1816 and Kinreade 1873. 

The name is mainly from the north of the Island being most prevalent in Lezayre 

and Bride with several occurrences in Ballaugh, Jurby and Andreas. On the 

southside, several occurrences have been noted in Marown, Douglas and 

Maughold. A few instances are recorded in Patrick, German and Michael on the 

northside and in Malew, Castletown, Santan, Braddan, Onchan and Lonan on the 

southside.

2.5.1 John Kinrade (202) was baptized on the 2nd of March, 1777, at Bride. He left the 

Island in late 1798 or early 1799 when his illegitimate son, Thomas, was born. It is 

presumed that he went to England, but this has not yet been confirmed. At the 

second marriage of his son Thomas, John was described as a tailor. See Volume III, 

1.5 for details of his descendants. 

2.5.1.1 Joney Corlett (203) was born circa 1779, but she has not yet been positively 

identified. Her illegitimate son, Thomas Kinrade, was baptized at Kirk Andreas in 

March 1799. In June of that year the Church Presentments record that Joney 

deposed ‘... that John Kinread of Kirk Bride now off the Island was the father of her 

illegitimate child.’ Joney was alive in 1819 when she gave her consent to the 

marriage of her underage son to Catherine Boyde. 

2.5.2 William Kinrade (2435) was baptized on the 25th of May, 1779 at Bride.

2.5.6 William Kinrade (2047) was baptized on the 23rd of November, 1794,, at Bride. A 

mason by trade, he married Margaret Wade (see Volume III, 1.4.6.1) on the 8th of 

November, 1817, at Bride. In 1841 he was living at Ballaben, Bride, with his wife 

and family. See Volume III, 1.24 for details of his descendants. The family does not 

appear in the 1851 census but may have been living in Liverpool. 

2.5.7 Catherine Kinrade (4077) was baptized on the 5th of March, 1800, at Bride. She 

appears to have been a twin. In 1841 she was living, unmarried, with the family of 

Patrick Crellin at Knockbrech, German, and employed. in 1851 she appears to be 

living as a house servant with the family of Hugh Fargher at Bollagh, German. In 

1861 she was living with John Faragher at Bllacha, German. 

2.6 The Children of John Kinrade & Joney Corlett 


46 Thomas B 6th Mar 1799 Andreas 

2.6.1 Thomas Kinrade (46) was born, most probably, in February or March of 1799. We 

know that it was before the 6th of March, 1799, when he was baptized at Andreas, 

and that he was not yet twenty-one years of age when he married on the 13th of 

May, 1819, and so must have been born after the 13th of May, 1798. He appears in 

the five census of 1841-81 when his age is given as 40–44, 55, 64, 76 and 85 

respectively. At his second marriage in October, 1853, his age is given as forty-four 

though he was actually fifty-four. At his death in October, 1885, his age is given as 

ninety years. Given the standards of literacy and numeracy of the times, these 

variations in age are not unusual. 


As a young man he worked as a farm labourer. He married Catherine Boyde on 13th 

of May, 1819, at Andreas Church. Thomas married with permission of his mother, 

Joney, as he was underage. Ten children of this marriage have been located, see 

Volume III, 1.6. 

The census of 1841 shows him living at Balla Shaane, Andreas, with his children 

Catherine, James, Thomas and Margaret. His wife and eldest son seem to be living at 

the farm of William Cleator, see 1.5.2 below. His age is given as 40 years, i.e. 40–44, 

and his occupation as “agricultural labourer”. He was still working as an 

agricultural labourer at Andreas at the census in 1851. 

After the death of his first wife, Catherine, Thomas moved to Lonan where he 

worked in the mines and married his second wife, Jane Caley, on the 16th of 

October, 1853 in the parish church of Lonan. Thomas is described as a forty-four 

year old widower and Labourer of the parish of Lonan, the son of John Kinrade, 

Tailor. Jane Caley is described as a forty year old spinster of the parish of Lonan, the 

daughter of Patrick Caley, Tailor. Both parties made their mark and the witnesses 

were James Caley and John Fargher. 

The census of 1861 shows Thomas living at Cronk-e-chule, Lonan, aged 64, a mine 

labourer, with his second wife, Jane, and their son Philip. 

Thomas died on the 25th of October, 1885 at Gretch Voar, Lonan. The informant 

was his son Philip of the same address who stated that his father was aged ninety.


2.6.2 Jane Caley (448) was baptized on the 17th of November, 1811, at Lonan, see 

Volume III, 12.6.5 for details of her parents. In 1851 she was working at the Crescent 

Academy in Onchan, a girls boarding school. She married Thomas Kinrade on the 

16th of October, 1853, at Lonan. She died at Cronk-e-Chule, Lonan, and was buried 

on the 4th of April, 1871. 

2.7 The Children of Thomas Kinrade & Jane Caley 


45 Philip B 30th Nov 1856 Lonan 

2.7.1 Philip Kinrade (45) was baptized on the 30th of November, 1856, at Lonan. He 

married Isabella Clague (see Volume I, 7.11.1) on the 18th of October, 1879 at Kirk 

Braddan. Both were single, of full age and residing in Douglas. Philip gave his 

occupation as labourer, but was probably an unemployed lead miner. Isabella was 

the daughter of Robert Clague (48), a farmer. The witnesses were Eleanor Wade, 

Fletcher Kinrade and Thomas F. Hutchinson. 

The census return of 1881 shows Philip and Isabella living at Gretch Voar House, 

Lonan with their sons John Robert, aged five years, and William aged one year. 

Using the census data, John Robert would have been born in 1876, before Philip 

and Isabella were married. Isabella is known to have had two illegitimate sons 

before marrying Philip. One of these sons was John Robert Clague born in 1876, 

and it is assumed that this is the same John Robert listed on the 1881 census return. 

Philip’s age is given as twenty-four (which is consistent with the returns for 1861 

and 1871). Isabella’s age is given as twenty-six. 

Philip Kinrade left the Island with his step-son Alfred Clague to try his luck in the 

South African gold mines. It has been assumed that this was around 1900, but 

Philip and Alfred have not been found in the 1891 census so it may have been as 

early as 1890. A letter dated the 4th of July, 1900 indicates that he was working for 

the Jumpers G.M. Co (Gold Mining Company). He died in South Africa. prior to 

1919. As a miner he had been earning very good money, one suggestion puts his 

earnings as £15 per day - a considerable sum in those days. At his death, his widow 

was left in very straightened circumstance. At approximately the same time Alfred 

became quite wealthy though he does not appear to have helped his widowed 

mother. A rift developed between Alfred and his mother at this time, see Clague 

family notes.

The Baker Family 

3.1 Origins 

The name is an occupational name being originally associated with the family who 

were responsible for the communal ovens in a village and who were able to charge a 

fee for using the ovens. The name may also have been given to someone who was 

especially adept at baking. 

3.2 Richard Baker 

3.2.1 Richard Baker (42) was born circa 1790. He married Sarah Wood on the 18th July, 

1814, at Edgbaston, Warwickshire. 

3.2.2 Sarah Wood (253) was born circa 1790. She married Richard Baker on the 18th of 

July, 1814, at Edgbaston, Warwickshire.

St. Martin’s, Birmingham, at which time he was described as a bachelor and 

Watchmaker of full age, being the son of Richard Baker, a Labourer. Witnesses to 

the marriage were Matthew Bishop (brother?) and Susannah Harris. The bride, 

groom and witnesses all made their marks. Bride and groom gave their address as 

Fordrough Street. Frederick Baker died on the 24th of May, 1875 at 41, Henry 

Street, Birkenhead, aged fifty-two, which would make his year of birth 1822-3. See

events for the movements of the family. Frederick and Elizabeth were probably 

born in Birmingham where they married and their first son, Richard, was born in 

1844/5. They then moved to Ireland where their second son, Frederick, and their

married William Lawson (21) on the 23rd November, 1904 at St. Paul’s, Birkenhead,

described as a “widower”, and his address is given as “1 Carlton House Terrace, 

SW1". See appendix BA-A3- for details of the various marriages of George and his 

spouses. 

3.8.2.1 Grace Lillian Bryant (95) was born circa 1871, the daughter of Edwin Bryant 

and Ellen Woolston. At her marriage to George Baker she was described as a 

spinster, thirty-six years of age, the daughter of Edwin Bryant (deceased). Her

she was the daughter of Thomas Miller (410), a retired coal exporter. The witnesses 

were G.H. Cousins and C.W. Johnson. According to “Who’s Who”, she died in 1933, 

but a more exact date has not yet been determined. She was known in the family as

3.8.2.3 Olive Alice Groves (97) was born in the First quarter of 1900 (ref: Hampstead, 

1a 669 March 1900), the daughter of George Herbert Groves, a private tutor. Her 

birth certificate has not been obtained. 

Her first marriage was on the 17th January, 1924 to Robert Ernest Chatterton at the 

parish church of St. Thomas, Portman Square, by Licence. Her address is given as 

“166 Goldhurst Terrace, W.Hampstead”. Robert Ernest Chatterton is described as 

“twenty-six years of age, a bachelor, of 14, Adam Street, W.”. His profession is 

given as “Produce Broker”. His father is given as Henry Seiffert, artist. The witnesses 

were Julia Alice Groves and Georgina Chatterton. There was a later divorce. 

There was one son of the marriage, Michael G Chatterton (99), born on either the 

2nd or the 18th of November, 1924 (ref: Kensington, 1a 126, December 1924). On 

the death of Alan Baker (98), Michael changed his name by deed poll to Baker. 

Her second marriage was to Marcus Joseph Colthwest Alexander on the 14th December, 

1929 at the Register Office, Hampstead. At this time her address is given as 

“146 Adelaide Road” and her profession as “Professional Singer”. The witnesses 

were Julia Groves and R.G. Clark. This was also the second marriage for Marcus as 

he is described as “divorced husband of Kathleen Sara Alexander, formerly Peyton, 

spinster”. His address is given as “34 Cresswell Road, Twickenham” and his profession 

as “Gramophone Company’s Representative”. His father is listed as Henry 

Beaumont Alexander, a Publicity Agent. It is believed that there were no issue of 

this marriage. 

Her third marriage was to George Arthur Baker on the 17th July, 1936 at the Register 

Office in the City of Westminister. Her address is given as “166 Goldhurst Terrace, 

Hampstead”. This is the same address as given at her first marriage and so may 

be assumed to be that of her parents. The witnesses were Victor MacClure, Florence 

Mims, Guy Church and Mary Sterndale Bennett. Again, according to Who’s Who, 

she died in 1974 but the exact date has not yet been determined. There were no issue 

of this marriage. 

3.8.2.4 George Alan Hill Baker (98) was born on the 10th of November, 1924 in 

London, the only child of George and Katherine. He entered the King’s School, 

Canterbury, in September 1938 and left in December 1942 with a Ford Exhibition

unmarried and without issue. 

3.8.4 Edith Baker (41) was born on the 2nd June, 1892 at 40, Hollybank Road, 

Tranmere. She married Walter Beardsworth on the 25th February, 1922 at St. 

John’s, Birkenhead. Edith is described as a spinster, 29 years of age, the daughter of 

Walter Baker (33) a travelling representative. I remember a visit to Edith in 

approximately 1946 when Walter was already dead. Edith died in the last quarter of 

1956 (ref: Liverpool S, volume 10d, 490, Sep 1956). There were no issue of this 

marriage. 

3.8.4.1 At their marriage, Walter is described as a bachelor, 40 years of age and an 

electrician, the son of Henry Edward Beardsworth (deceased), a watchmaker. This 

means that he was probably born between the 24th February, 1881 and 25th 

February, 1882. 

He apparently worked at some time for a shipping company, possibly the White 

Star Line. Between the World Wars he apparently acted as some kind of courier, accompanying 

emigrant to Canada and travelling with them by train to their final destinations. 

Details are not known. It is believed that he died in New York.

1650. He was buried at Rushen on the 11th of January, 1715.

his grandmother, Jane Taylor, in February 1659-60, which could imply that he was

the family farm no separate provision would be made in the Will.

quite common for miners to have a second job. The choice of occupational 

description may reflect the actual economic conditions at the time. After his death 

in April 1853 Isabella and her son Robert Corkish (268) continue living at the same

Braddan. She married Hubertius Dubois on the 23rd of December, 1843, at 

Braddan. See 

4.8.2 Charles Corkish (264) was baptized on the 14th of November, 1813 at Braddan. 

At the census of 1841 he was living at Ballanicholas, Marown, and was described as 

25 years old labourer. He has not been found in the census for 1851 or 1861 but 

there is a burial for Charles Corkish aged 52 years of Dalby, Patrick, recorded at 

Rushen on the 22nd of August, 1866. It seems likely that Charles left the Island 

before 1851 (possibly for work in England) and either returned after the census of 

1861 or requested that he be buried in his homeland. 

4.8.3 William Corkish (265)was baptized on the 19th of May, 1816 at Braddan. He did 

not survive infancy and was buried on the 26th of April, 1817, at Braddan. 

4.8.4 William Corkish(2098) was baptized on the 3rd of January, 1819 at Braddan. He 

married Elizabeth Cubbon on the 21 of November, 1839, at Arbory. He was buried 

on the 9th of March, 1879, at Arbory, when his age was given as sixty–three years. 

See Volume IV for further details. 

4.8.5 John Corkish (197)was baptized on the 5th of August, 1821 at Marown. The 

census of 1851, 1861 and 1871 seem to consistently place his year of birth as 1825/6. 

If, as stated, he was eighty-five years old at his death in 1905, his year of birth 

would have been 1819/20. This five year discrepancy has not yet been resolved. 

He married two sisters, Elizabeth and Mary McGhee. Although this was strictly 

illegal, it was a fairly common practice. 

He married Elizabeth Magee at KK Braddan on the 21 of January, 1850, by licence. 

At this time he is described as a weaver and was probably employed at Union Mills 

Woollen Mill. He was residing in Bigwell Street. By the time of the 1851 census, 

John and Elizabeth are living at Ballacaine, Onchan, where their first child is born. 

John is again described as a weaver and is presumably working at the Bowring Mill, 

which was situated on Ballacain. By December, 1852, the family was living in 

Douglas where their second son was born and John is still described as a weaver. By 

November, 1855 John had left the weaving trade and is now employed as a labourer 

at the Howe farm. At the census in 1861 he and his family were living in Strand 

Street, Douglas. In July, 1861, at the birth of Frederick, the family is living at 

Millmount in Braddan. The family address is once again in Douglas by December, 

1863 when Elizabeth dies. The movement of the family and the changes in John’s 

occupation probably reflect the vagaries of the weaving trade. 

In 1864 John is once again employed at the Howe farm, his address when he marries 

Mary McGhee. The 1871 census shows him living at 46, South Quay, Douglas, and 

he is described as a labourer, presumably working at the Howe farm. Mary is not 

listed with the family. As she was six or seven months pregnant she may have been 

staying with her parents. However, an Ann McGhie, a dyers assistant aged 

thirty-seven years, is listed and is probably a younger sister to Mary. 

John died on the 24th of January, 1905 and is buried at Kirk Braddan, where he is 

noted as being aged eight-five years at his death. 

4.8.5.1 Elizabeth Magee (198) was born in approximately 1828. She married John 

Corkish (197) on the 21 of January, 1850, at which time she was living at Strang. She 

died on the 29th of December, 1863 in Douglas, aged thirty-four years. 



4.8.5.2 Mary McGhee (199)was born in about 1834 at Braddan. She married John 

Corkish (197) on the 25th of September, 1864 after the death of her sister Elizabeth. 

She died on the 29th of July, 1906, aged seventy-two years. 

4.8.6 Samuel Corkish (266) was baptized on the 12th of October, 1823 at Marown. He is 

listed in the 1851 census as a Farm Labourer, aged twenty-four and residing at 

Kirby Cottage, Braddan. He married Agnes Gilleland on the 24th of December, 

1859, at Braddan. The census of 1861, when he is described as a joiner, shows him 

living with his mother-in-law, Margaret a widow aged 60 and her family. He had 

died by the census of 1861. See See “The Corkish Family” for further details. 

4.8.7 Henry Corkish (2099) is assumed to have been born in January, 1829. There is a 

burial for Henry, son of William & Margaret Parks on the 30th of January, 1829, at 

Braddan. No age is given so it is assumed to be an infant burial. 

4.8.8 Daniel Corkish (267) is listed in the 1841 census for Eairy Kellag. He appears to be 

living with his widowed father, William (212) and his elder brother, William (265). 

Daniel is listed as being twelve years of age, which would make his year of birth 

1829, and this is confirmed by the 1851 census. No baptismal record has been 

found.

4.10.5 Robert Henry Corkish (49) was born on the 21 of June, 1880. He married Agnes 

Carney at St. George’s Church, Douglas, on the 7th of September, 1901, at which 

time he gave his address as 2, Athol Square. He is described as a bachelor and a 

mason. His age is given as twenty-one years. His father is named as Henry Corkish, 

Labourer. The witnesses were John Henry Crennell and Isabella Carney, the bride’s 

sister. 

Robert emigrated to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada before the First World War 

(the exact date has not been established 1913?). Robert lived for a time with Tommy 

Johnson, his brother-in-law (Tommy married Isabella Carney, Agnes’ sister) though 

it is not certain that Robert and Tommy emigrated together. 

On the 29th of July, 1915 he enlisted in the 65thh Overseas Battalion in Saskatoon. 

His regimental number was 472145and his occupation being recorded as 

bricklayer. After training, he embarked on 20th of June, 1916 on the S.S. Empress of 

Britain, disembarking on the 28th of June. He was transferred to the 44th Battalion 

at Bramshott. On the 28th of November, 1916 he was transferred to France where he 



served with the 44th Battalion until April 1919 when he was moved to Ripon prior 

to being returned to Canada. During his time in France he twice served temporary 

assignments with the 10th Field Company, Canadian Engineers. He also attended a 

training course for batmen in July 1917 and was granted ten days leave in 

November of 1917. He was demobilised in Halifax, N.S. on the 18th of July, 1919, at 

which time his address is given as West Pugwash, N.S. and his trade is recorded as 

‘Farmer’. As a returning Canadian Veteran he was able to bring his family to Canada 

in the summer of 1919, only his recently married, eldest daughter, Catherine 

Elizabeth Corkish, remaining in the Isle of Man. The family settled in Pugwash, 

Nova Scotia. 

Robert worked as a mason. He built the first brick house in Pugwash (was this the 

unfinished house he brought his family to and which his sons helped to finish?). In 

1927 while working at the Doctor’s house some scaffolding gave way and he 

suffered a bad fall. The resulting serious back injuries prevented any further work. 

He died in Pugwash, Nova Scotia, on the 11th May, 1934. The family home was 

rented out when Agnes moved to Ontario with the four youngest children, living 

for a while with her eldest son James. Agnes returned to the Isle of Man with the 

four youngest children in May, 1936 and the family home was sold some time later 

when the problems of renting it out from such a distance became too great. 

4.10.6 A Sa(u)nders Corkish, one of two brothers, is believed to be the son of Elizabeth, 

Sarah or Mary Corkish (above). He is believed to have been born in approximately 

1920. A son is thought to have emigrated to Canada in approximately 1960, and he 

is believed to have married, divorced, remarried and to be residing in British 

Columbia. This all has to be confirmed.

living for some time at Kitimat, B.C., during the building of the aluminium smelters. 

He was an expert woodworker, producing many pieces of furniture for the family, 

mainly in cedar. Lost an eye …? Like so many men in the construction and logging 

industries, Bobby alternated between periods of hard work in the camps and short 

sprees in the town where his hard earned money rapidly disappeared into beer. He 

spent the later years of his life in the Skid Road area of Vancouver. He died on the 

27th of August, 1973. 

4.11.6 Daniel John Corkish (62) was born on the 17th of August, 1910, at 4, Athol

Danny accompanied her and his three youngest sisters. For a while the family home 

in Pugwash was rented out through Mr. and Mrs. White, friends and neighbours. 

Eventually the problem of maintaining the home from the Isle of Man became too 

great so the house was sold and the proceeds given to Agnes. In 1993 the daughter, 

Laura White, was still living in Pugwash and was visited by Danny when he took 

his sister Catherine’s ashes for burial with their father. 



Danny commenced training as a nurse at Cumberland Hospital, completing his

children were born: David John Corkish and Graham Michael Corkish. The family 

emigrated to Canada in 1949, initially settling in Steveston, B.C. with Nellie (59) and 

her husband Dan Morrison (158) who owned a seiner. They first bought a house on

Family History, Volume I Mc Indoe 5 - 1 

The McIndoe Family 

5.1 Early Days 

5.1.1 Origins-McIndoe 

Research on this line is now completed. 

The family appears to originate from Lanarkshire, though no derivation for the name has 

yet been traced. 

5.1.2 William McIndoe (439) was probably born around 1790–5 as he married Ann 

Gourley (440) on the 20th of June, 1817 at Glasgow Parish church. 

William is described as a Mason. Ann is described as residenter there. The ceremony was 

performed by Dr. John Lockhart one of the Ministers of Glasgow. William had died by 

1860 as Ann is described as a widow at the time of her own death. His death cannot be 

found in the General Index of Deaths for Scotland between 1855 (when the index commences) 

and 1860. It must be presumed, therefore, that he died before 1855. 

5.1.3 Origins-Gourlay 

Gourlay is a Scottish name of uncertain origin, though it is possibly a habitation name 

from Normandy. Several variations are known:- Gourley (chiefly in Northern Ireland), 

Gourley, Gourlay, Gourlie. 

5.1.3.1 Samuel Gourlay (441) was born in approximately 1760–70. No further details 

are available. 

5.1.3.2 Ann Gourley (440) was born in approximately 1790 the daughter of Samuel 

Gourlay (441). She died on the 23rd of June, 1860 at 36, Green Street, Calton, 

Glasgow, aged seventy years. She is buried at the Southern Necropolis, Glasgow. 

The family was not found at the Green Street address in the 1851 census.

Family History, Volume I Sanders 6 - 1 

The Sanders & 

Willoughby Families 

6.1 Origins 

Richard Sanders married Mary Ann Willoughby on the 25th of December, 1854, at 

Birkenhead. See 6.3.2 and 6.6.2 below. 

Ameilia Sanders married Walter Baker on the 17th of April, 1881. Continued from 

3.4.6 and see 6.4.1 below. 

Sander is an English and Scotish name from the medieval given name. The given name is 

an aphetic form of Alexander. Several variations are common, Sa(u)nder(s) being the most 

common. The spelling of the family name seems to fluctuate between Sanders and 

Saunders until the mid 1850s when it seems to have settled on Sanders. This would account 

for the family stories that Elizabeth Sanders insisted that the name was Saunders 

and that this was the name used over the fruit shop. 

6.2 Thomas Sanders—1810 

6.2.1 Thomas Sanders (438) was probably born around 1810. He married Amelia (390) 

(maiden name not yet established) in approximately 1830-4. Our present 

knowledge is derived from the registration of the marriage of his son, Richard, at 

which time Thomas is described as a boilermaker. The parish registers of St. Mary, 

Birkenhead record the baptisms of four children of Thomas and Amelia Sanders. In 

all cases the occupation of the father is given as boilermaker

44 Richard B 5th Jan 1834 Birkenhead 

589 Anne B 17th Jan 1836 Birkenhead 

591 Thomas B 10th Sep 1837 Birkenhead 

6.3.1 Phoebe Sanders (590) was baptized at Birkenhead St. Mary on the 5th of January, 

1834, the same day as her brother, Richard. Census entries would indicate that 

Phoebe was born in 1832. 

6.3.2 Richard Sanders (44) was baptized on the 5th of January, 1834 at St. Mary, 

Birkenhead, at the same time as his sister Phoebe. This would appear to be a late 

baptism for Richard as he is recorded as being of full age at his marriage to Mary 

Ann Willoughby, see 6.6.2, on Christmas Day 1854 at St. Nicholas, Liverpool. 

Witnesses were John Willoughby, the bride’s brother, and Sarah Allen. All parties 

signed their names, indicating a degree of literacy. At the time of his marriage, 

Richard was living at Rose Place and is described as a boilermaker. However, by the 

census of1881 he had changed his occupation to “fruiterer” and was livng at 22, 

Dacre Street, Birkenhead, with his family and mother–in–law. This probably 

reflects the fact that his father–in–law had died by this time and he was running the 

family fruit stall. See 6.4 for details of his descendants. 

6.3.3 Anne Saunders (589) was baptized at Birkenhead St. Mary on the 17th of 

January, 1836. No further details available.

Family History, Volume I Clague 7 - 1 

The Clague Family 

7.1 Origins 

7.1.1 Five possible roots are given for the name Clague in “Surnames of the Manks” as 

follows:- 

1. from the Gaelic MacLuathog, son of the swift one; 

2. from the Gaelic MacLaoghog, son of calf; 

3. from the Irish and Manks MacLiaigh, son of the leech or doctor; 

4. from the Norse Kleggi, a horse fly; and 

5. from the Gaelic Mac Giolla Luaig, the son of the servant of Lughaigh, a 

Celtic saint. 

The name does not appear to have any connection with the English Clegg. 

The name Maqleog is known from a 7th or 8th century Ogham inscription. The 

names MacClewage and MacCluage are known in 1511, Clevage in 1521, Claige in 

1622, Clouge in 1624, Clauge in 1652 and Clague in 1655. Several variations have 

been recorded since then, including Cluaig, Cloauge, Cluage, Cloiage, Cluag, Claig, 

Claigue, Cloag and Clage. 

The name appears to be spread widely throughout the Island, being least common 

in Ballaugh, Jurby, Andreas and Bride and the heaviest concentration being in 

Douglas, Braddan and Marown. 


7.2.1 The early Clague family were farmers living at a farm known as Ulican situated in 

the valley of Baldwin in the parish of Braddan. The name Ulican seems to be a 

diminutive of the Irish uladh meaning a tomb, cairn or, later, a penitential station, 

i.e. a place where a stone altar was erected, usually over the tomb of some saintly 

person, as a place of devotion. It is not far from Keeill Abban. The farm is no longer 

in existence being flooded when the Baldwin dam was built. 


7 - 2 Clague Family History, Volume I 

7.3 William Clague—1650 

7.3.1 William Clague (491) was born circa 1650. He married Ann Cain circa 1675 (the 

marriage records for Kirk Braddan do not survive prior to 1683). William was 

buried at Braddan on the 9th February, 1692 (his Will states he died the same day). 

See 7.4 for details of his descendants. 

His Will mentions his wife Anne Cleag als Cain, his heir and eldest son, William, 

and other children Paul, Christian and Ann. Also mentioned is his sister Joney. The 

three youngest children are named executors and it is noted that they are all under 

age, i.e. not yet 14 years old, which agrees with the known baptisms. 

7.3.2 Ann Cain (492) was born in circa 1650. After the death of William Clague, she 

married Patrick Bittle, a witness to William’s Will. There would appear to have been 

no issue of this second marriage as only the children of the first marriage are 

mentioned in the Decree of Administration issued when Ann died intestate on the 

14th of August, 1701. She was buried at Braddan on the 14th of August 1701, the 

register reading Anne Caine als Bissal. See 7.4 for details of her descendants. 

Her Decree of Administration appoints her four children, William, Paul, Christian 

and Ann, joint administrators with a note that the two eldest are sworn in Court to 

be faithful to their sisters in the administration of the estate, inferring that the two 

girls were still under age. A legacy of 2s 6d was allowed to the husband, Patrick 

Bittle. 

7.3.2.1 Patrick Bittle maried Ann Clague als Caine. He was buried on the 11th of 

March, 1711, at Braddan.7. 2.4 

7.3.3 Joney Clague (494) is mentioned in the Will of William Clague as being his sister.

7.4.1 William Clague (450) was born circa 1680. He married Margaret McYlrea at 

Ballaugh Church on the 15th January 1701/2. William died in 1761 and was buried 

at Kirk Braddan on the 22nd June 1761. See 7.5 for details of his descendants. 

William inherited the family farm on the death of his father, William (491), in 

February 1691/2. On the 25th January 1726/27, together with his eldest son 

William, William senior signed a marriage contract with Thomas Kelly and his wife 

Averick on behalf of their daughter Christian Kelly. It was agreed that William 

senior was to give half his farm to the young couple with the remaining half to go to 

them on his death. The following month William senior signed another marriage 

contract, this time in behalf of his daughter Jane, when she was to marry Robert 

Lewin of Creg e Cowin, Braddan [her cousin?]. Here he agreed to give the young 

couple a dowry of £7 to be paid within five years of the marriage. 

When William died in June 1761, the marriage contract between his son Robert and 

Margaret Cowell was published in court and accepted as his last Will and 

Testament. In this he agreed to give the young couple all his worldly goods. 



7.4.1.1 Margaret McYlrea (451) was born circa 1670-80, the daughter of Thomas 

McYlrea (495) and Mary (see Thomas’s Will of 1711 which mentions his son–in–law 

at Oolikan). She married William Clague on the 15th of January, 1701/2, at Ballaugh. 

She died in January 1724/25. Although she was probably buried at Braddan, her 

burial is not listed in the Braddan records. However, the date is given in her 

administration. See 7.5 for details of her descendants. 

From her father’s Will of 1711, we know that her mother’s christian name was 

Mary, that she had brothers William, Thomas and James and a sister Mary. Her family 

were probably farming at Balla-ne-Cooley 

7.4.2 Paul Clague (496) was baptized at Kirk Braddan on the 29th June, 1681. He was 

mentioned in his father’s Will of 1692. There is a burial at Braddan on the 7th of 

June, 1742, for Paul of Ulican, which would appear to relate to this Paul. 

7.4.3 Christian Clague (497) was baptized at Kirk Braddan on the 23rd November, 

1684. She was mentioned in her father’s Will of 1692. 

7.4.4 Ann Clague (466) was born circa 1690. She was mentioned in her father’s Will of 

1692. She married Thomas Lewin on the 29th of November, 1724, at Braddan, see 

Volume II, 16.1.1 . She was buried on the 20th of December, 1761, at Braddan. 

SeeVolume II, 16.3 for details of her descendants.

7.5.1 William Clague (454) was born circa 1703. On the 25th January, 1726/7, together 

with his father, he signed a marriage contract with Thomas and Averick Kelly and 

their daughter Christian Kelly, see 11.3.1. The couple married on the 28th of 

January, at Braddan. William was buried on the 3rd of March, 1737-8, at Braddan. 


7.5.2 Jane Clague (460) was baptized on the 5th May, 1706 at Kirk Braddan. She 

married Robert Lewn (see Volume II, 16.4.1) of Creg-e-Cowin on the 12th of 

February, 1726, at Braddan. There is a burial for Jane Lewn als Clague of 

Creg-y-Corim recorded at Braddan on the 1 of November, 1738. However, this 

conflicts with recorded baptisms of her children as late as September, 1746. See 

Volume II, 16.5 for details of her descendants. 

7.5.3 Thomas Clague (462) was baptized on the 21 December 1708 at Kirk Braddan. No 

other details are available. 

7.5.4 John Clague (463) was baptized on the 25th July, 1711 at Kirk Braddan. He was 

dead by 1738. No other details are available. 

7.5.5 Robert Clague (412) was baptized on the 17th of January, 1712/13, at Braddan. 

He married Margaret Cowell at Braddan on the 8th February, 1740. He was buried at 

Onchan on the 13th June, 1786. See 7.7 for details of his descendants. 



In 1742, at the time of the baptism of his eldest child, Mary, Robert was stated to be 

of Ulican Farm, situated in the valley of Baldwin in the parish of Braddan. 

In 1770 the family moved when Robert purchased some Intack land, known as John 

Looney the Coopers land, in Onchan near to Strenaby Farm. 

7.5.5.1 Margaret Cowle (413) was born circa 1715. She married Robert Clague on the 

8th of February, 1740, at Braddan. She died on the 8th of January, 1800, and was 

buried with husband at Onchan. See 7.7 for details of her descendants. 

She was possibly the daughter of Patrick Cowill (452) and Mary (453). 

7.5.6 Paul Clague (464) was born circa 1716. He married Alice Cowley on the 24th of 

April, 1739, at Braddan. Paul seems to have died in the first half of 1800, but so far a 

burial has not been found. See 7.19 for details of his descendants. 

After the marriage the couple appear to have moved to Lezayre where all their 

children were born. In 1786 Paul and Alice made a Deed of Settlement in favour of 

each other, excluding their children, in which everything was left to the longer 

liver to dispose of as they wished. In 1788 this Deed of Settlement was accepted as 

the Will of Alice. In February of 1789 Paul made a settlement in favour of his 

daughter, Alice, who was then living with him together with her husband, John 

Corlett. This settlement was confirmed in January of 1790. In July of 1800 the 

settlement was accepted as Paul’s Will. 

7.5.6.1 Alice Cowley (115) was born circa 1715. She married Paul Clague on the 24th of 

April, 1739, at Braddan. She was buried at Lezayre on the 12th of February, 1788, 

the Deed of Settlement mentioned above was accepted as her Will. See 7.19 for

7.7.1 Mary Clague (414) was baptized on the 21 July, 1742 at Braddan. She married 

Robert Quine 16th of January, 1768 at Braddan, see Volume III, 23.1.1. See Volume 

III, 23.2 for details of her descendants. 

7.7.2 William Clague (415) was baptized on the 5th August, 1744 at Braddan. He is 

mentioned in his father’s Will of 14th February, 1786 so must have been still alive at 

that time, when he would have been forty-five years old. Several grand-children are 

mentioned in the Will but none of them appear to be William’s. If may be safe to 

assume that either he was childless or unmarried at that time. No other details are 

available. 

7.7.3 Charles Clague (416) was baptized on the 1 January, 1747 at Braddan. He is not 

mentioned in the wills of his father or his mother so he had probably died by the 

14th February, 1786. 

7.7.4 John Clague (328) was baptized on the 19th March, 1748 at Braddan. He was 

born at Ulican Farm, Braddan. He married Margaret Cain at Onchan parish church 

on the 6th February, 1779 in the presence of witnesses named Charles Calvin and 

John Quale. There were seven children of the marriage. John was left all of his 

father’s lands in 1786, consisting of the Intack lands described above. He must have 

purchased other land at Strenaby as in 1791 he sold the Intack land to William 

Quine for £100. John died at the age of eighty and was buried at Onchan on the 5th 

February, 1828. See 7.8 for details of his descendants. 

7.7.4.1 Margaret Cain (329) was born circa 1755. She married John Clague on the 6th of 

February, 1779, at Onchan. See 7.8 for details of her descendants. 

7.7.5 Margaret Clague (417) was baptized on the 18th May, 1752 at Braddan. She 

married John Quine on the 8th of April, 1780, at Onchan, see Volume III, 23.4.3. She 

was appointed sole executrix by her mother in 1800, when she is described as 

Margaret Quine, alias Clague. See 23.5 for details of her descendants. 

7.7.6 Paul Clague (418) was baptized on the 3rd August, 1755 at Braddan. He is 

mentioned in his father’s Will, when he is left a Crown. At this time he would be 

thirty years old and, using the same logic as in above, it would seem that he was 

childless and possibly unmarried. No other details are available. 

7.7.7 Robert Clague (419) was baptized on the 9th October, 1757 at Braddan. He is 

mentioned in his father’s Will, when he is left a Crown. He would be twenty-eight 

years old at this time, and using the same logic as in above, he would appear to be 

childless at this time. No other details are available.

7.8.1 John Clague (330) was baptized on the 7th of November, 1779, at Onchan. He 

married Alice Quine on the 22nd of October, 1808, at Onchan. A burial has not been 

located but he was alive aged 81 at the 1861 census. He farmed 130 acres at Strenaby, 

Onchan. 

7.8.1.1 Alice Quine was baptized on the 24th of May, 1784, at Onchan, the daughter of 

Edmund Quine. She married John Clague on the 22nd of October, 1808, at Onchan. 

She was buried at Onchan on the 16th of September, 1867, when her age was 

recorded as 84 years. 

7.8.2 Robert Clague (210) was baptized at Onchan Parish Church on the 16th June, 

1782. He married Catherine Cannell (see Volume V, 1.5.1) at Braddan Church on the 

3rd November, 1810, when the witnesses were Robert Lewin and Edward Corkil. 

Robert Clague died on the 19th September, 1855 at the age of seventy-three and is 

buried at Lonan. See 7.10 for details of his descendants. 

In 1841 Robert had taken a lease on the farm known as Ballaquark in Lonan. This 

farm consisted of 80 acres, a farmhouse and other cottages. The census of that year 

shows the family living on the farm. The census of 1851 shows Robert and 

Catherine were still residing on the farm together with their son-in-law, another 

Robert Clague (386), their daughter Catherine, son James and grandsons Robert 

James and John James. The widow Catherin was living on the family famr in 1861.

7.10.1 John Clague (337) was baptized on the 26th May, 1811 at Braddan. He died on the 

13th June, 1811. 

7.10.2 Robert Clague (48) was baptized on the 7th February, 1813 at Braddan. In 1841 

he was living with his parents on the farm at Ballaquark, Lonan. He married Isabella 

Killip (see Volume III, 21.6.3) at Lonan parish church on Saturday the 16th 

December, 1843. The witnesses were Thomas McKeale and J.W. Kerruish. At this 

time the new Parish Registers had not long been in use and the Vicar, the Reverend 

Joseph Qualtrough, often added extra details. In the case of Robert and Isabella he 

said that they were in good circumstances”. Robert is described as a Farmer aged 

thirty (which agrees with the details of his baptism) and Isabella is described as a 

farmers daughter, aged twenty-six, the daughter of Patrick Killip”. 


It would appear that much of Robert’s early life was spent on his parents’ farm, 

Strenaby Farm in Abbeylands, Ballaquark. By 1851 they had set up home in a 

cottage on the farm. When Robert’s father died in 1855 Robert took over the farm


lease and the family settled here for over twenty years. The 1861 census shows the 

family living on the farm. By 1881 they had moved out to a cottage on the Glen Road 

where Robert spent his retirement.Robert died on the 13th June, 1882, aged 

sixty-nine, and was buried at Lonan on the 15th of June. See 7.11 for details of his 

descendants.

(see Volume III, 21.6.4) on the 10th of November, 1842, at Lonan. The 1851 census

buried on the 18th of July, 1866, at Lonan. See 7.15 for details of his descendants.

Lonan. She married John Kermode on the 16th of October, 1841, at Lonan. See 7.17

7.11.1 Isabella Catherine Clague (47) was baptized on the 20th of April, 1845 at Lonan. 

She married Philip Kinrade (see Volume III, ) on the 18th of October, 1879 at 

Braddan. She was buried at Braddan on the 30th of March, 1918. See Volume III, 

1.20, for details of her descendants. 

In 1851-71 she was living with her parents at Ballaquark, Lonan. Isabella gave birth 

to two sons, Alfred Clague and John Robert Clague, before her marriage to Philip 

Kinrade. In 1881 she and her husband were living on Gretch Voar, Lonan. In 1891 

she was keeping a boarding house at 8, Windsor Road, Douglas. In 1901 she was 



living at 15, Richmond Grove, Douglas, with six of her unmarried children. Living 

with the family was a Margaret Clague aged 46 of Lonan, described as a married 

aunt, and William Clague aged 12 of Liverpool, described as a cousin. 

7.11.1.1 Alfred Clague (169) was born in 1867. A record of his birth has not been traced, 

but he appears in the census of 1871 and 1881 when he was living with his 

grandparents Robert Clague and Isabella Killip. In the 1881 census he is recorded as 

their son rather than as their grandson. This must be an enumerators mistake. He is 

known to have spent many of his early years living with his grandparents. As a 

young man he lived in Douglas with his aunt Emily Clague or the Hoggs. It is 

interesting that the 1871 census records Theophilus and Catherine Hogg visiting 

with Robert and Isabella Clague. Alfred is also present, aged three years. Are these 

the Hoggs he eventually lived with in Douglas? 

He left the Island with his step-father, William Kinrade, for the gold mines in South 

Africa. This appears to have been around 1890 as neither he nor William appear in 

the 1891 census. After the death of William, Alfred became quite wealthy. It was 

around this time that a rift or feud developed within the family. A veil of silence 

surrounded his name. He was never mentioned by his Kinrade half brothers and sisters. 

As in so many family feuds, the exact reasons are lost. However, it is noticeable 

that while Alfred was himself quite wealthy, his mother was left in very reduced 

circumstance to bring up the surviving children. He returned to the Isle of Man 

where he is known to have married and to have had two sons, Stuart Clague (283) 

and Douglas Clague (284). Each of the sons is also known to have married and each 

to have had a son and daughter. 

7.11.1.2 John Robert Clague (170) was born circa 1875. (The IGI shows a marriage 

between John Clague and Isabella Clague on the 22ndof February, 1876 at Braddan. 

This entry has not been checked and may refer to a baptism.) In the census of 1881 

and 1891 he is shown as John R. Kinrade, son of Philip Kinrade and Isabella Clague. 

In 1901 he was living with his widowed mother at 15, Richmond Grove, and was 

employed as a grocer’s carter. Throughout his adult life he apparently used the name 

Kinrade, though he is thought to have signed with the surname Cottier on occasion. 

This may be a hint as to his father. He died unmarried and without issue. 

7.11.2 Catherine Clague (216) was baptized on the 12th December, 1846 at Lonan. In 

1861 she was living with her parents at Ballaquark, Lonan. She married Theophilus 

Hogg on the 18th of March,1871, at Lonan (see Volume III, 20.13.1). See Volume III,

buried at Maughold on the 19th of January, 1927, when his age was recorded as 76

In 1861 and 1871 he was living with his parents at Ballaquark, Lonan. In 1881 he 

and his family were living at Kion–ne–Kinnin, Maughold, where Robert was 

employed as a farm servant. In 1891 the family were living at Ballagorey Old Farm 

where Robert was employed as an agricultural labourer. In 1901 the family were

7.30.1 John Clague (4707) was born circa 1810. He married Elizabeth Quine on the 7th 

of November, 1835, at Malew. An agricultural labourer, he and his family were 

living at Ballashott, Malew, in 1841. The family were living at “The Hill” in 1851. In

her youngest daughter at Cronk–e–Chule, Lonan. She was buried on the 10th of

It seems that Elizabeth had a younger sister, Catherine, who married Thomas Cooil 

on the 19th of October, 1839, at Malew. Catherine & Thomas Cooil had no children 

of their own and in later years appear to appear to have provided a home for the 

nephews and nieces. 

Thomas Cooil farmed 43 acres at Ballabeg, Malew, in partnership with Ann Quirk 

who was described as a sister–in–law in the 1861 census. Jane Kewin, a 13 years old

Family History, Volume I Carney 8 - 1 

The Carney Family 

8.1 Origins 

8.1.1 Although documentary evidence has not yet been found to establish the exact 

place of origin, it can be firmly stated that the family is of Irish descent, and most 

probably from County Down. When and why they came to the Isle of Man has not 

yet been determined, but the period of the Irish potato famines, the mid-1840s, is 

the most likely date. The name is recorded variously as Karney, Kearney and Carney. 

The modern spelling on the Isle of Man of Carney is known from about the middle 

18th century. 

The Oxford Dictionary of Surnames states that the name is irish, being an anglicised 

form of O Catharnaigh, warlike. The name appears in the book “Personal Names of 

the Isle of Man”, by J.J. Kneen, where it is derived from O’Cearnaigh, a descendant 

of Cearnach, “the victorious one”. 

8.2 Cornelius Karney—1800 

8.2.1 Cornelius Karney (387) would have been born in approximately 1800, at County 

Down, Ireland. The name of his wife has not yet been determined. On the marriage 

certificate of his son, his profession is stated as “Plasterer”. There appears to have 

been at least three children of the marriage. 

8.3 The Children of Cornelius Karney 


109 Cornelius C 1826 County Down, died 1853 aged 27 

488 Eliza C 1828 County Down, died 1890 aged 62 

487 Catherine C 1829 Count Down 

8.3.1 Cornelius Kearney (109) would have been born in approximately 1825/6, in 

County Down. He married Susanah Ennett on the 30th of December, 1849 at Kirk 


8 - 2 Carney Family History, Volume I 



Braddan (see 9.3.1 for her family details). In the marriage register Cornelius is 

described as being of full age. His name is recorded as Karney, his occupation is 

given as labourer and he is a bachelor of Lord Street, Douglas, the son of Cornelius 

Karney (430), a plasterer. Witnesses to the marriage were John Maquire, William 

Craig and James Corran. Sometime after his marriage, Cornelius and Susanah moved 

to Liverpool where their daughter was born in February 1851. The family appears 

to have returned to Isle of Man by 1853 where Cornelius died on the 1 of September, 

1853 aged twenty-seven. See 8.4 for details of his descendants. 

If the age given at his death is correct, he would have been born in the last quarter of 

1825 or the before the 1 of September 1826 which would mean that he was actually 

twentythree or four when he married. 

Cornelius (109) is buried at Kirk Braddan in Section 1, Block 3, Grave 1900. The 

memorial inscription mentions his two sisters, Catherine and Eliza, and a Rose 

Maguire see 8.3.4 below. 

8.3.2 Eliza Kearney (488) was born in 1827/8 in County Down, Ireland. She died, a 

spinster, on the 23rd of February, 1890 at the House of Industry, Douglas, when her 

age is given as sixty-two years and her place of birth as County Down. 

8.3.3 Catherine Kearney (487) was born in approximately 1829, in County Down. In 

the 1881 census she is recorded as an unmarried, Boarding House Keeper, aged 

fifty-two and born in Ireland. She died at 11, Osborne Grove, Douglas, in 1894 a 

spinster aged sixty-five years. Present at her death was Ellen O’Hare of County 

Down, Ireland. Catherine is buried with her brother and sister at Kirk Braddan. 

8.3.4 Rose Kearney (489) was born in approximately 1838, in Ardglass, County Down. 

She married John Maguire (490) a shopkeeper of Senna road. She died in 1900 aged 

sixty-two years and is buried with Cornelius and his sisters at Kirk Braddan. 

Present at her death was a Catherine Smith of County Down (related to Ellan 

O’Hare). The exact relationship between Rose and the Karney family has not yet 

been established, but, as she is buried with the family, it seems likely that there was 

a fairly close relationship, though possibly only by marriage. It is noted that a John 

Maquire was a witness at the marriage of Cornelius and Susanah. 

In 1881 she ws living with her husband at 15, Fredrick Street, aged 45. His 

occuption is recorded as “grocer & seafarer”. In 1891 she was keeping a sweet shop 

at 15, Frederick Street, Douglas, aged 63. 

8.4 The Children of Cornelius Kearney and Susanah Ennett 



121 Mary Ann A 23rd Feb 1851 Wigan St., Liverpool 

52 James A 26th Dec 1853 Douglas, Isle of Man 

8.4.1 Mary Ann Carney (121) was born on the 23rd of February, 1851 at 1 Court, 

Wigan Street, Liverpool. On the birth certificate, her mother is listed as “Mary 

Carney, formerly Innett”. The variation Innett is of no consequence but the 

christian name, Mary, may be of further interest. In 1861 she was living with her 

mother and step–father at 8, Hanover Street. In 1871 she was living with her 

mother and her step–father at 33, Barrack Street, Douglas. She was employed in the 

potato factory. She married Robert Lewin on the 4th of July, 1872 at Kirk Braddan 

(see Volume II, 16.15.2). In 1881 she and her family were living at 4, Bigwell Street. 

Logding with the family was Susan Muftin, a 59 years old widow. this was 



presumeably her mother. In 1891 she and her family were living at 17, Bigwell 

Street. She died on the 7th of June 1905. There were eight children of this marriage, 

but only four survived to adulthood, see Volume II, 16.16 for details of her 

descendants. 

8.4.2 James Carney (52) was born on the 26th of December, 1853 in Douglas. He 

married Catherine Kelly (see 11.8.2) on the 20th of October, 1878 at Kirk Braddan, 

when the witnesses were John Kivell and Robert Lewin, his brother-in-law. He died 

on 13th of January, 1923 aged sixty-nine years. See 8.5 for details of his 

descendants. 

In 1861 he was living with his mother and step–father at 8, Hanover, Street. In 1871 

he was living with his mother and step–father at 33, Barrack Street and described as 

a mariner. Full details of his seagoing life have not been determined, but he is 

known to have been away from home for extended periods. He is believed to have 

suffered a stroke at which time he gave up foreign sailing and served as First Mate 

on the Liverpool-Douglas sailings. It is assumed that at this time he was employed 

by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, but neither this, nor the identity of his 

earlier employers, has been confirmed. 

In 1891 he and his family were living at 6, Lord Street, Douglas, when he was 

employed as a seaman. In 1901 he and his family were living at 4, St. Barnabas 

Square and he was employed as a ship’s porter. He was described as “Labourer” at 

the marriage of his daughter Eleanor, in October 1912.

the marriage were John Henry Cromwell and Isabella Carney. Robert Corkish’s 

address is given as 2, Athol Square, Douglas and his occupation as Mason. Robert 

emigrated to Pugwash, Nova Scotia, Canada, prior to the First World War. Agnes 

and the family were delayed in joining him until after the War, during which 



Robert served in France with the Canadian Army. From his service record we learn 

that Agnes was living at various time during the War at 12, Nelson Street, 4, St. 

George’s Street and 31, Big Well Street. Agnes moved to Pugwash, N.S., with all her 

children, except for her eldest daughter Catherine who had married in the summer 

of 1918, in the summer of 1919 after Robert had been demobilised in Halifax. After 

the death of Robert in 1934, Agnes moved to Ontario with her youngest son, Daniel 

(62) and his three youngest sisters. The family lived for a while with the eldest son, 

James (60). In 1936 Agnes returned to the Isle of Man with her unmarried children, 

Daniel, Mary, Jean and Peggy. Agnes died at 10, Princess Street, Douglas, on the 

20th of April, 1942 with her eldest daughter, Catherine, in attendance. She was 

buried at Braddan on the 23rd of April. See Volume IV, 6.11.5 for details of her 

descendants. 

8.5.3 Isabella Carney (139) was born on the 30th of June, 1884 at 13, Upper Milk 

Street, Liverpool. In 1891 she was living with her parents at 6, Lord Street, Douglas 

and attending school. In 1901 she was living with her parents as 4, St. Barnabas 

Square. She married Thomas Johnson (140) on the 1 of May, 1909, from 16, Nelson 

Street, Douglas. The witnesses were Robert H. Quayle and Harriet Emily Callin. She 

followed her husband to Saskatoon in the summer of 1912 with their three sons, the 

youngest of whom, George (144), was only six months old at the time. Her sister 

Maud accompanied her to help care for the children. Her daughter, Irene, recalls 

that Isabella operated a bakery for a time in Imperial, Saskatchewan. This would be 

sometime betwen 1922 and 1926. It appears that the owner, Mr. McEwan had died 

and that Bella did the baking while her friend, Mrs. McEwan, looked after the shop. 

Isabella died on the 2nd of November, 1962, aged seventy-eight years. See 8.6 for 


8.5.3.1 Thomas Johnson (140) was born on the 7th of May, 1884 at Foxdale. At the time 

of his marriage to Isabella he is described as a bachelor and joiner of East Foxdale. 

His father was Ed Johnson, a farmer. He emigrated to Saskatoon in approximately 

1911, accompanied by his brother-in-law Thomas Oates (husband of Thomas’s 

sister). For a while he worked as a carpenter before going into business for himself. 

Soon after his arrival, he worked with an elderly motor engineer, mainly on the 

repair of farm tractors. He learned the art of chromium plating, which adversely 

affected his health. He took over the business when the elder partner retired. He 

died on the 19th of April, 1957. See 8.6 for details of his descendants. 

8.5.4 Cornelius Carney (376) was born on the 20th of November, 1886 at 6, Lord Street, 

Douglas. He died on the 7th of January, 1887, aged seven weeks. 

8.5.5 Edward Carney (145) was born on the 7th of December, 1888 at Nelson Street, 

Douglas. He married Christine Eleanor Shimmin on the 1st of November, 1914 at St. 

Barnabas Church, Douglas, see Volume IV, 23.12.2. This Church, together with 

many of the streets associated with the Carney family, was demolished in a large 

development of the late 1920s. Edward died on the 15th of January, 1958 aged 

sixty-nine years. See 8.10 for details of his descendants. 

In 1891 he was living with his parents at 6, Lord Street. In 1901 he was living with 

his parents at 4, St. Barnabas Square. Trained as a rope maker and became a foreman 

rope-maker at Quiggan & Co. Ltd., who made ropes for the IoM Steam Packet Co. 

and shipped their products world-wide (rope making has now ceased). Edward was 

a keen gardener. He played Rugby football and was a committee member of the St. 

George’s Association Football Club. 

8.5.6 Eleanor (Uttie) Carney (123) was born on the 17th of January, 1892 at 12, Nelson 

Street, Douglas. In 1901 she was living with her parents at 4, St. Barnabas Square. 

She married Thomas Cannell (124), on the 1 of October, 1912, at St. Barnabas when 

she is described as ‘21, a spinster of 12, Nelson Street, daughter of James Carney, 



Labourer’. Thomas is described as ‘23, a bachelor of 1, King Street, son of Henry 

Cannel, Coastguard deceased’. The witnesses were John Cain and Agnes Cannell. 

Thomas died on the 15th of January, 1958. Eleanor died on the 2nd of May,1971. See 

8.11 for detials of her descendants. 

8.5.7 Maudina Carney (135) was born on the 2nd of June, 1894, at Fleetwood House, 

North Quay, Douglas. Her registration of birth records her name as Catherine, 

which has caused a great deal of confusion. For some time during the research of 

this family history, it was assumed that Maud or Maudie (as she was known 

throughout her life) and Catherine were two distinct people. However, it is now 

accepted that Maud was recorded as Catherine at the registration of her birth. The 

most likely explanation is that there was a mix up between the registrar and the 

mother, Catherine (53), who was illiterate and probably would not have realized 

that the wrong name had been recorded. The following is a summary of the current 

evidence. 

Item 

Notes 

Catherine 

Birth 

The name is recorded on a birth registration for the 2nd of June, 1894, but is otherwise 

unknown in the family. No registration of death for an infant or child has been 

found. 

Maud 

Birth 

Baptizm 

Name 

School 

No birth registration has been found 

A baptism for Maudina Kearney has been found at St. Matthew on the 8th of August, 

1894. This would be consistent with a birth at the beginning of June, The parents 

are recorded as James and Catherine Kearney. 

Maud and Maudie are natural contractions of Maudina. 

Entry number 485 in the Register of the Hanover St. School, Douglas, records a 

Maud Carney born on the 2nd of June, 1894 

The above information would seem to provide conclusive proof that Catherine and Maud 

were the same person. 

Maud emigrated to Canada in the summer of 1912 with her sister Isabella, taking the 

place of an elder sister who had a change of mind. She settled in Saskatoon. She married 

Arthur Duncan (136) on the 22nd of February, 1915, at Langham, Saskatchewan. The witnesses 

were H.E. Mason and E. Hartshorne, both of Lanham. Her daughter recalls that 

Maud, together with a friend, were involved in a wedding catering business. Maud died 

on the 14th of May, 1930 in, it is believed, an automobile accident. There were two 

children of this marriage. 

8.5.7.1 Arthur Duncan (136) came from the Midlands (possibly the Willenhall area), 

where the family name is also recorded as Duncombe. Arthur’s birth or baptism may 

have been recorded under Duncombe. This has not been researched. His children 

were advised to change their names to Duncombe before obtaining passports (it is 

not clear whether this advice was tended in the U.K. or in Canada). His daughter 

states that he was born on 17th March, 1882, and that he was eleven years older than 

her mother. The record of his marriage at Langham gives his ages as twentysix, i.e. 

he would have been born in 1894/5 and would have been five years older than 

Maudina. At his marriage his occupation is given as ‘baker’ though he is known to 

have later worked at Richard Road Machinery. Arthur is known to have returned to 

the U.K. in approximately 1936. He died on the 5th of February, 1966. 

8.5.7.2 Frederick Charles Duncan (137) was born on the 18th August, 1915. He is 

known to have moved to the U.K. in 1938. He married Alice Parsons (540) on the 5th 

of April, 1947, at the church of St. Anne, Willenhall. There were two children of the 



marriage. Jane Duncan (551) born on the 14th of November, 1950 and Philip Duncan 

(552) born on the 22nd of June, 1954. He died on the 19th of April, 1982. 

8.5.7.3 Maud Duncan (138) was born on the 29th of February, 1920. Maud moved to 

the U.K. in early 1937, in her words “I came by liner for the coronation”. She married 

William Bert Rathbone (550) on the 22nd of July, 1939. There were three children of 

the marriage. Marilyn Hilda Rathbone (554), born on the 9th of July, 1944, William 

Arthur Rathbone (553), born on the 19th of December, 1939, and Brian Francis 

Rathbone (555), born on the 12th of March, 1947. 

8.5.8 James Wilfred Carney (377) was born on 12th of July, 1896 at 4, Big Well Street, 

Douglas. He died on the 13th of July, 1897 aged one year.

Family History, Volume I Ennett 9 - 1 

The Ennett Family 

9.1 Origins 

Susan Ennett married Cornelius Carney on the 30th of December, 1839, at Braddan. 

Continued from 8.3.1. and see 9.3.1 below. 

The original family name would appear to be Annett and to be from Northern Ireland. 

The name Ennett does not appear in the Oxford dictionary of surnames and it seems 

to be a phonetic variation of Annett. In turn, Annett is a diminutive of Annis found 

chiefly in Northern Ireland. The root name Annis comes from a Middle English 

vernacular form of the name Agnes. The female name Agnes derives from the greek 

agnos, meaning pure or chaste, but in folklore the name Agnes is associated with 

the latin agnus, a lamb, being the symbol for Christ. 

9.2 Thomas Ennett- Ireland 

9.2.1 Thomas Ennett (389) was born circa 1790—1800, in Ireland. He was a weaver. He 

married Susanah … circa 1820 

9.2.2 Susanah … (484) was born circa 1800 in Ireland. She married Thomas Ennett 

circa 1820. 

9.3 Susanah Ennett 

9.3.1 Susanah Ennett (110) was born in 1823/4, the daughter of Thomas Ennett, a 

weaver, probably in County Down, Ireland. She does not appear in the 1841 census 

(not yet arrived on the the Island) nor the 1851 Manx census, when she was 

probably living in Liverpool with her first husband and children. The 1851 census 

does show a Susan Kearney aged 29, a widow, living at 5, Chapel Row with her sons 

William (9) and John, (6). 


9 - 2 Ennett Family History, Volume I 

She married Cornelius Carney (109) on the 30th of December, 1849, at Braddan. The 

family appear to have moved to Liverpool where her two children were born. 

After the death of Cornelius in September, 1853, Susanah married Samuel Skelly 

(436) on the 19th of August, 1856 at KK Braddan. The witnesses were George Skelly 

and Ann Cowin. Samuel died soon after the marriage, but the exact date has not yet 

been determined. It seems that there were no issue of the marriage. 

Susanah married for the third time on the 30th of September, 1860 at Braddan to 

James Moughton, ten years her junior. The witnesses were William Callister and 

Agnes Ennett. It seems that there were no issue of this marriage. The census of 1861 

shows the family living at 8, Hanover Street, Douglas, Susan’s two children are 

listed as “Barney”. 

At the 1871 census she was living with her third husband and her children at 33, 

Barrack Street, Douglas. 

At the 1881 census she was lodging with Robert & Mary A Lewin at 4, Bigwell 

Street. She was employed as a domestic servant. Although no family relationship is 

show, this was probably her daughter and family, though Mary A’s birthplace is 

given as “Douglas”. 

Susanah died on the 2nd of February, 1890, aged sixty-six. See 8.4 for details of her 

descendants. 

9.3.1.1 James Moughton (437) was baptized on the 15th of December, 1833, at 

German, the son of John Mughtin & Margaret Cringal. A shoemaker, he married 

Susan Ennett on the 30th of September, 1860, at Braddan. He was buried at Braddan 

on the 9th of August, 1872. 

9.4 Peter Annett—ca 1790 

9.4.1 Peter Annett, the son of John Annett, married Susanah Cowley at Castletown in 

1793. There was at least one son of the marriage, Thomas, born circa 1820. 

9.4.2 Susannah Cowley 

9.5 The Children of Peter Annett & Susannah Cowley 

9.5.1 William Ennett was baptized at KK Rushen on the 5th of October, 1817, the son 

of Peter Ennet and Susana Cowley. 

9.5.2 Thomas Ennett was baptized at St. George’s on the 20th of May, 1820, the son of 

Peter Ennett and Sarah Cowley. 

9.6 Susannah Annett—1830 

9.6.1 Susanah Annett was baptized on the 9th March, 1830, at the Methodist Chapel, 

Newry, County Down. 

9.7 Edward Annett—1832 

9.7.1 Isabella Annet was born circa 1805 in County Down, Ireland. Her maiden name 

and the name of her husband has not yet been determined. In 1851 she was visiting 

with her son and famly at Friary. Her age wasgiven as 40 years and she was recorded 



as “married”. In 1861 she was living with her son at Arbory Road but is now a 

“labourer’s widow”. She has not been found in the 1871 census. 

9.7.2 Edward and Jane Annett are known, from the census return, to have been living 

at Arbory in 1851. The baptisms of their children were recorded under Ennett, no 

doubt a phonetic rendition of the Irish Annett. No direct family connection has yet 

been established, but the known facts and speculations are being recorded in the 

event that they prove to be ancestral. 

Edward Annett was born in County Down, Ireland in approximately 1832. his 

mother’s name was Isabella (1861 census) born 1805 in Ireland. He appears in the 

1851 census for Arbory, living on the farm of Jospeh Dawson. He was described as a 

Farm Labourer from Ireland. His age was given as 22, which would make his year of 

birth 1829. 

In 1861 he and his family were living at Arbory Road, Malew. Edward is still described 

as an agricultural labourer and his age was given as 28 years. In 1871 he and his family 

were living at Ronaldsway and his age was givne as 38. The 1881 census for Ronaldsway, 

Labourer’s Cottage, gives his age as 49. His name is now being spelled Ennett but he is 

still described as a Farm Labourer. Living with the family was Norman Gill, aged 5, described 

as a grandson. In 1891 he and his wife were occupying 2 rooms at 29, Chester 

Street, Douglas. e and Jane gave their birth place as County Down. Living with them is 

Emily Ennett aged 6. She is described as their daughter but was probably their 

grand–daughter. 

9.7.3 Jane Cousance was born in County Down, Ireland in approximately 1825. She 

appears in the 1851 census for Arbory, Friary, when her age was given as 25 years. 

In 1861 her age was given as 27 years. In 1871 her age was given as 39 years. The 

1881 census for Ronaldsway, Labourer’s Cottage gives her age as 48 and she is now 

named Jane Ennett. 

The discrepancies in the ages at the census of 1851 and that of 1881 have not yet been resolved. 

However, if the ages given in the 1881 census are correct, then Edward and Jane 

would have been 19 and 18 in 1851. If they had married without their parent’s permission, 

then they would naturally wish to improve their ages at the earlier census.

11.1.1 Kelly is, by a factor of 2, the most popular name on the Isle of Man. Killey is 

related to Gale, Gell and Gill and is not a variation of Kelly. 

Kell(e)y has two possible derivations from the Gaelic: either from MacCheallaigh, 

the son of Ceallagh (war,strife), or from Mac Giolla Ceallaigh (Manks Gaelic Mac 


11 - 2 Kelly Family History, Volume I

MacKellagh in 1497, MacHelly in 1511 and the modern Kelly in 1607. The variation

Family History, Volume I Killey 12 - 1 

The Killey Family 

12.1 Origins 

Catherine Killey married James Lawson on the 29th of April, 1740, at Onchan. 

Continued from 1.44.5 and see 12.3.2 below. 

Ann Quilliam married Ewan Kinread on the 10th of November, 1770, at Patrick. 

Continued from Volume III, 6.3.3 and see 12.6.1below. 

Killey comes form the gaelic Mac Giolla Ceallaigh which became Mackilleykelly. 

Over the course of time the Mac and the Kelly were dropped, to leave Killey. The 

original meaning would be “son of the servant of Ceallagh” where Ceallagh has the 

meaning of war or strife. Killie is known in 1610, Killey in 1651 and Killiah in 1693. 

This last variation gives a good indication of the pronunciation (kil-yah). 

In many place names killey has the meaning “of the church” as in Ballakilley, “the 

farm of the church”. 


12.2.1 Hugh Killey (700) was born circa 1670, probably in Malew. The name of his wife 

has not yet been determined but he had at least one son, Hugh. He was buried on 

the 23rd of February, 1748, at Malew. 

12.2.2 Hugh Killey (682), was baptized at Malew on the 17th of November, 1693. He 

married Elizabeth Quaile on the 20th of December, 1720 at Malew. Elizabeth died on 

the 18th of January, 1721. Hugh married for the second time Dorothy Kewley (see 

Volume II, 15.5.2) on the 27th of April, 1723 at Malew. He died at Malew on the 1st 

of August, 1760. See 12.3 for details of his descendants. 

12.2.2.1 Elizabeth Quaile (699) was born circa 1695. She married Hugh Killey on the 

20th of December, 1720, at Malew. Elizabeth died in 1720-21, probably in 

childbirth, and was buried on the 18th of January at Malew.

13.18.1 Thomas Moore (1450) was born circa 1555. He inherited the lands of Ballakilley 

and Baldromma Moar. His Will of 1623 states, inter alia, “I sould my tytell in 

Balldromma to my brother Philip to maynteyne my owne farme.” This sale is 

believed to have taken place in 1577. No marriage has been traced. He died in 1623.

elder brother in 1577. He bought Ballameanagh Moar in 1584. He married Ellen 

Lucas circa 1585. He died before 1609. See 13.2013.26 for details of his descendants.

1453 Philip C 1580 

13.19.1 Philip Moore (1453) was born circa 1580, in Lonan. He was possibly appointed 

Parish Clerk of Lonan in 1610, which would indicated that he was born no later 

than 1590. In 1643 he compounded for Ballakilley, i.e., he arranged a fixed sum of 

money in lieu of tithes. William Norris, Vicar General and Vicar of Lonan, 

confirmed that Philip “never paid tythes for B’killey”. So far a marriage has not 

been found, but he is believed to have had at least one son.

Family History, Volume I Watterson 15 - 1 

The Waterson Family 

15.1 Origins 

Eleanor Waterson married Wiliam Kewley on the 8th of August, 1818, at Braddan. 


Wat(t)erson/Qualtrough has two possible origins; from the Irish Mac Ualtair or Mac 

Ualteir, and from the Norse Mac Walter, the son of Walter = rule people. In addition, 

Watterson could be a contraction of Mac Otter, i.e., Watterson = Otterson, the son of 

Ottar which is also the root of Cottier. In Norse mythology Ottar is one of the three sons 

of Hreimdar and he was killed by Loki. 

The apparently unrelated names of Watterson and Qualtrough are explained by the suggestion 

that Gaelic speaking members of the family would use Qualtrough while the English 

speaking members would use Watterson. Waterson seems to be an indiscriminate 

variation of Watterson. 

Wauterson in known in 1417, Watersone in 1422 and the modern Watterson by 1504 and 

Waterson in 1511.
