Hi Eric, thanks for posting your latest - very interesting.

Can I just check a couple of figures to see if they are just typos or is there a discrepancy between sources:

By:Eric Date: 26/2/2013, 1:13 pm In Response To: Parents of John Gelling md Isabella Cavendish 1788 (Eric):

"(Broken) JOHN GELL--- in this Parish ....
this life on the .....of September 18... in the 70th Year of his age (buried 23 Sep 1823 Braddan)
Also ISABELLA wife of the above who departed this life the 31st of Janry 1856 aged 91 years (buried 2 Feb 1856 Braddan) "

John: I think you said in the previous message buried 1837, and Lawson has GELLING, John 69 Braddan 23 Sep 1837

Isabella: MI says aged 91, but if I have identified the correct baptism for her, that Online Parish Clerk transcription gives a birth date of December 1766 which would make her not far past her 89th birthday, which agrees with Lawson:

www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html
Baptism: 28 Dec 1766 St Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire
Isabella Corgage - Daughter of Willm. Corgage, Cooper
Born: 17 Dec. Register: Baptisms 1765 - 1772, Page 11, Entry 14 Source: LDS Film 1656376

GELLING, Isabella 89 Braddan 2 Feb 1856

Thanks.
