Re: Peter MYLCHREEST
In Response To: Re: Kelly - Faragher ()

Yes, I agree that the 1929 burial must be the correct one for the older Peter, father of Peter Ronald (sometimes recorded as Ronald).

MYLCHREEST, Peter Crebbin, 58, Douglas Borough Cemetery, 23 Mar 1929 [BL burials index].

MYLCHREEST, Matilda Alice, 43, Douglas Borough Cemetery, 14 Oct 1915. [BL burials index]

Peter's second name given at burial was his mother's name pre-marriage (Eleanor Crebbin), at the time he was baptised on 4 Dec 1870. This makes his age of 10 accurate in the 1881 census, as well as at burial.
It was only during his working life that he appears to have deducted 3 or 4 years from his age.

Marion, in the IOM it was usual for a child to be given the father's surname, even when the parents didn't marry later as Peter's did.

I think Eleanor/Elinor Crebbin's parents were John Crebbin & Catharine Watterson (son Evan bapt Rushen 12 Dec.1869). You will find the family members between the IOM and Lancs in censuses.
