In Response To: Re: Starkey/Lewin ()

If you can find a Family History Centre, it would also be very helpful to you to look at the marriage entry for James Starkey and Margaret Lewin in Malew on 11 NOV 1863. At that time the record should have both fathers' names and occupations, as well as all addresses and other details about the couple. Isle of Man, Kirk-Malew: Church records Christening, marriages, burials 1849-1883: LDS Film No.0106192.

They usually allow you to order several films at a time, and you can view them on their film readers for a month, and print out any interesting entries you find. It is so much easier and more informative to build up a family record when looking at the whole register where places or other details may be given, than picking individual entries from the IGI.

Another parish register copy on film which would be useful to get as well is where all those Baldwin bapts appear for the children of Charles Lewin and Isabella Caine. Jacob's bapt on 17 Feb 1850 Saint Lukes, Baldwin, would have the most information, because it is after the date when they started adding the extra details: LDS film no.0106187 [1849-1883], and some of the earlier children are on LDS film no.0106712 [1836-1849]. As this film only starts in 1835 that could be why Margaret's bapt couldn't be found on the IGI. Eldest? child Elizabeth was bapt 13 Nov.1831 Braddan, and you might find Margaret b.c.1833 (from the 1841 census) on the same film.
