Averil, thank you for all this information about the ancestors of John Callow Looney (1846-1904) in different lines. I have entered it on my Family Tree Maker file. It shows that these Looneys came from Lonan, and are not related, as far as we have gone, to the Maughold Looneys that we have been examining. This time I have only a few points to raise.

Averil replied,
Yes – we agree
these Looneys come from Lonan, and are not related, as far as we have researched, to the Maughold Looneys that we have been examining.

Taking first the posting of 8/8/2011, 10:36 a.m., under JOHN 1816 you have the burial of 1844 William Looney on 20th Jan 1871 at RAMSEY. That would be at Maughold, as Ramsey, St. Paul’s at least, has no churchyard, and his MIs, at graves 92 and P27 state that he died on 20th Jan 1847, as you report, not 1871.

Averil replied,
It is – James William that died 31 July 1871

The Memorial Inscriptions are from the IOMFHS Memorial Inscriptions publication.

In your posting of 11/8/2011, 6:56 a.m. you quote from Frances’s CD a baptism of John, son of William Lewney, in December 1781. Are you confident that this is the future Master Mason? Unlike many old Manxies of his time, he is pretty consistent about his age. In the three censuses given we have ages and calculated dates of birth:
1851 64 1786/7
1861 75 1785/6
1871 84 1786/7
The baptism comes about 5 years earlier.

a search for John Lowny/Looney/Lewney at ht tps://www.familysearch.org/ (close gap ht tp)
brings up the only John Lowny/Looney/Lewney - baptized between 1780 – 1790 in Lonan.

Averil replied,
I can’t add anything further as I don’t have the tree of Constance Radcliffe for comparison, her tree of Callow The Dhullan.
