Lisa, I have long been waiting for a descendant of John Joughin and Cassandra Henry to appear, who could answer the question that Sue has just posed, or without trying to jump to any conclusion, “Who were the parents of John Joughin, husband of Cassandra Henry?”

The answer will have a bearing on who were the parents of John Joughin who married Margaret Kayll at Braddan in 1842, ancestors of many, including the late Frank Hampton Joughin of the House of Keys.

It will be good, therefore, if your answer were to be based on your own family tradition or records, rather than on what you or someone else has found in the records, where you will have had to pick among the possibilities.
