Re: Arthur Corkill
In Response To: Arthur Corkill ()

I once tried to trace an Ellen Corkill who was buried in Lonan aged 51, d.8 Aug.1916, and who was recorded as granddaughter on the same gravestone as Thomas Corkill [b.1816], and wife Mary.
She was living with her grandparents in 1881 & 1891 censuses [recorded as daughter, but this wasn't possible].
I ordered her decree and found that her brother Arthur Corkill petitioned the Court after his sister Ellen's death in 1915.
Both at the same address: 12 Dale St., Ramsey.
I didn't find bapts for either of them.

I couldn't place Arthur at all, until Brian Lawson kindly found:
1891, Ramsey district 4, entry 188, 9 King street
Arthur Corkill, apprentice, 17, apprentice baker, Ramsey

1881, Toxteth Park, Lancs, 57 Ponsonby
Margaret Grace, head, married, 22, Ramsey Isle of Man
Arthur Corkill, visitor, 4, Ramsey Isle of Man.

Do you know who Margaret Grace was?

I couldn't find anything further - perhaps you could fill me in? email = Sue.Pedersen@uts.edu.au

Thanks,
