Hi Ray,

I am also descended from Isabella Kelly and Joseph Clarkson. Their son William Clarkson (b.1840) was my great great great grandfather.

I have a record of their marriage:

Marriage: 2 Jan 1832 St Mary the Virgin, Prestwich, Lancashire, England
Joseph Clarkson - (X) of Oldham
Isabella Kelly - of Oldham

Witness: Simpson Lloyd; Abrm. Kay

Married by Banns by: Thomas Tolming

Register: Marriages 1832 - 1834, Page 402

Source: LDS Film 2356186

I was wondering if you've found any further information since this post. I have been unable to find anything conclusive regarding Isabella's family in IOM.

I have her born around 1811, based on her age in the 1841 census.

I would love to hear if you have been able to dig up any further information! I can be reached at terrafish@gmail.com
