Hi Eric,

No apology needed - on the contrary, I am grateful for your help and glad our records agree. I did this research years ago pre-census indexes, and before the first IGI came out on fiche which I first saw at the London SoG.

And you are right - I think I did only send you the earlier Corkill/Skillicorn records, plus the Gelling connections shown in attachments to Jemima's will. (Please let me know if you'd like these again.)

Regarding your message, you have a typo at no.10 - John Corkill, not John Cowle had a son by Christian. John Cowle was her father.

About these Corkills' baptisms in Marown, but censuses recording the children as born Patrick, when registering her children's births in NZ Louisa wrote that she was born in Foxdale, IoM. I wondered whether while living in Foxdale they could possibly have used Marown church for bapts and for the burials of the little boys?

John Corkill was a lead miner, so Foxdale seems logical. He was a younger son of a younger son so the inherited land which these Corkills had owned since at least the 1600s was owned and farmed by his eldest uncle.

You asked about two of the Corkill + Corkill marriages. There were actually at least five in the three generations of the Corkill family shown in this latest thread.

Eleanor/Elinor Corkill, the second wife of Thomas Corkill was the widow of Thomas's first cousin Peter Corkill. Both Thomas Corkill, widowed in 1824, and Elinor Corkill, widowed in 1823, had been left with small children when their respective spouses died. Strangely, she was buried with her first husband, perhaps because Thomas who had died in 1860 had no marked grave.
M.I. Maughold Old Yard L13: Sacred to the memory of PETER CORKILL of Ballachrink in this parish who died February 1st 1822(3) aged 50 years / also ELINOR CORKILL wife of the above who died May 1st 1865 aged 87 years. [Peter Corkill was buried Maughold Jan.29 1823 – par.register.]

Peter Corkill was the son of Thomas Corkill's aunt Jane Corkill 1734-1802 who married Peter Corkill Snr. This Peter Corkill family arrived in Maughold from Braddan during the early 1700s and Peter was not related to Jane.

Just to confuse things further Eleanor/Elinor was also a Corkill when she first married. From memory she was an only child (father's will - which I'll have to find again). Unrelated to either of her husbands, so far as I established.

The fourth Corkill + Corkill marriage was that of Eunice Elizabeth whom you asked about.
Eunice Elizabeth CORKILL bapt. 24 May 1856 Lonan (twin of Titus), married 14 Jul 1885 to unrelated James Edward CORKILL 1859-1928 ("Ned John") from the “Dick” Corkill family of Ballajora, Maughold. Eunice Corkill "died suddenly while attending a class meeting at the Independent Methodist Chapel, Chapel Lane. She was an active member of the Church. She collapsed in her seat, dying shortly afterwards. History of heart condition. Death from natural causes". (aged 58 yrs., of Ramsey, buried Maughold 29 Oct 1914). They had 3 children. Ned remarried 15 Nov.1916: James Edward Corkill, aged 56, Widower, Grocer, of 25 Waterloo Rd, Ramsey, son of John (dec), and Mary Jane CALEY (daur of Arthur Caley, Farmer) aged 45. She died 1920.

The fifth Corkill + Corkill marriage during those three generations of one family was that of John Corkill's sister Jane 1822-1875 (daughter of Thomas CORKILL 1783-1860 & Margaret CREECH) who married her first cousin Thomas 1809-1874 the 6th child of eldest son John Corkill 1777-1847 & Joney Joughen 1769-1832 of Ballagorry Mooar, Maughold.
