Hi Jean,

Sorry for the late response.

I actual have a lot of detail on James Keig and Isabel Kissack.

James Keig was the son of a John Keig and Anne Cowle, below is a list of the children including baptism dates, all children were baptised in Ballaugh:
Thomas Jan st 1771
James Dec 27 1772
John May 14 1775
Anne Feb 31 1777, I'm assuming March 2nd
Jane Mar 28 1779
Mary Sept 20 1783
Robert Nov 9 1785

John Keig and Anne Cowle were married 27 Feb 1770.

They lived in a place called Bishops Turbury which no longer exists and is in the Curraghs. I believe all that remains is two stone posts as the land has been reclaimed by nature.

Isabel Kissack's parents were Philip Kissack and Catherine Corteen (by this point the name was actually spelt Kissage).

Philip Kissack is the son of Ewan Kissack and Mary Cowley.

I believe Ewan Kissack is the son of a John Kissack and Mariod Christian but he could also be the son of a Ewan Kissack.

I have records to prove everything upto Ewan Kissack and Mary Cowley.

I only came across it because of the following website. I have managed to verify most of the work so far with the records I have found so it can be considered reliable. kissack.co.uk/

I am the great x 3 grandchild of William Keig and Jane Archibald, William is son of James Keig and Isabel Kissack.

If anyone would like to speak further my email address is chriskeig@googlemail.com alternatively I am on facebook.

I would like to hear from anyone who has any information on the Keigs including burial sites, photos, GEDCOMs to share.
