Re: COWLEY family - Kirk Michael

Hi Donna, good to hear from you. I hope all my 'cutting and pasting works, if not I'll send to you direct, a couple of copies from my photo file will be sent direct. It's also taken me a long time to sort out the Quayle connection as well, I think I've got THEM organized!

IOMFHS Monumental Inscriptions Kirk Michael Old and New Yards, Row SL 49. in loving memory of / ANN / wife of Thomas MOORE / Barregarrow, Michael / who departed this life / June 16th 1905 / aged 75 years / also THOMAS MOORE / husband of the above / who departed this life / January 20th 1915 / aged 85 years/

According to her Monumental Inscription she was born in or about 1830.

On findmypast.co.uk here is Ann Kneale in the 1861 census (note Catherine Cowley).
