Re: Margaret Kissack nee Gelling b1830

One correction to be made. It is not John Henry Kissack who married the widow Margaret Gelling nee Kelly in 1893. It is his younger brother Henry born 1847 in Liverpool.

John Henry, bapt 39 Mar 1845 Ramsey died in Liverpool the next year. His death is in FreeBMD as John Henry KISSICK (not KISSACK) in the March quarter 1846.

Henry Kissack's birth is in the Dec quarter 1846 Liverpool.

The mother Esther Kissack death is in the Dec quarter 1847 Liverpool.

The family was only briefly in Liverpool, as they are back at Ramsey with John's parents John & Mary Kissack in 1851.

Ancestry doesn't seem to have Henry & Margaret Kissack in 1901, but they are in Findmypast both age 52 at Sunny Side, Lezayre. Henry is a School Attendance Officer. That's a job we don't see much of any more.
