Gellings of Camlork

a special for Eric in case it helps - one of the 900 or so marriage contracts appearing on CD

SSS May 1728 53:
dated 20 jul 1726;Paul Gelling (camlork braddan) obo son + heir John;Ann Kelly als Cannell (Ballavargher Marown + intended wife of Paul Gelling) obo dau Cath Kelly;to marry within a month;Gelling to settle half estate;Ann Kelly to leave Cath her part of crop + gears after death of Ann + intended husband Paul;John resigns to fa Paul any goods etc due by death of mother Ellin als Oates;witt john oates junr,james oates x, Wm Bridson

Now I have Elinor's will - d 6 oct 1710;ch john,margt + ellin - next kin mo side john + wm oats
Think Paul must be decree of Epis 1736-2 (unless that of 1760) with Ann 1734-1

There was a Paul G + Ann Kelly marr in Braddan but suspect not that couple as they had a family - I suspect both Ann + Dau's marr were in Marown
