Hi Thelma,
Thank you so much for taking the time to send me such a detailed list of Agnes’ descendants – that really will flesh out my tree nicely, although I am a little concerned that in your generosity a lot of personal information on living people has been made public, and I wouldn’t like to think that it could possibly be taken advantage of by some unscrupulous person!

John Corjeage (husband of Maria Kenyon) was one of two sons of William Corjeage & Ann Quirk. John’s brother William became William Cavendish, a baker in Douglas. He married and had children including a son & grandson both William, both blacksmiths, & by 1901 a great grandson also William, all in Liverpool. Presumably they could have been heirs to Ballalonna also?

It’s amazing that although John & Maria had so many children the male line came to a dead end. Agnes’ eldest brother Wm Henry (s/o Jno Corjeage & Maria Kenyon c.April 1 1835 KM) married Mary Hadden and had son John Hadden Corjeage in 1867. He married Isabella Brown in 1895 but had no children. [One of John Hadden Corjeage’s sisters, Cathrine Maria, married Albert Moss, I gather.]
Another of her brothers, John (s/o John Corjeage & Maria Kenyon c.Nov 14th 1841 KM) married Elizabeth Cowley in 1888 but had no children.
Agnes had two other brothers, Joseph who died aged 6, and Francis. I don’t know what happened to Francis after 1861, but perhaps Nigel Crowe might.

Do you happen to know when or where Katie Corjeag married Albert Moss before she went to SA? Also I haven’t got a death date for Katie or Agnes – did they die in the Wirral?
I found Nora C Moss, presumably one of Katie’s daughters, aged 9 in the 1911 census with William Henry Corjeage and his son John Hadden Corjeage at Ballalonna.

In an earlier message you said you weren’t sure how Ida Crowe fitted in. This is her birth as recorded by Brian Lawson in his index:
CROWE, Ida Margaret, 14 Feb 1881, Mic, 14, [d/o] CROWE, William & CORJEAGE, Ann

Ann was a sister of Agnes.

I was very interested indeed in your mention of early photographs, particularly of the two young men in uniform. I wonder would you be willing to scan and email any for me to see?

Thank you once again for all the information.

Sylvia
