Re: 1881 Castletown Census
In Response To: Re: 1881 Castletown Census ()

Hi JC,
These folks didn't seem to believe in graveyard stones. No Malew MI for her.
The Malew Burial Register only adds that her residence was Braddan.
Seems that the census taker in 1881 and/or person giving the info had some difficulties. Hard to know what the story was. Clearly those children were of Charles Ford and Esther Dora Taubman d/o George & Margaret Corlett.
According to info I got from a Taubman researcher Charles Ford was a private 101st Regiment, Castletown.
