Hi Tony,

If Frances looked through the Maughold wills in 1829 as well as summarising the Lezayre ones, then she will have found that there was only one will, so no point in your looking at the film. So we should wait to hear.

The Ballajora/Ballajorey names seemed familiar to me, and I have found a thread where I looked at them extensively before.
Please see: www.isle-of-man.com/genealogy/messageboard/manx_archive_2.pl/md/read/id/514055
And also the beginning of the thread at: www.isle-of-man.com/genealogy/messageboard/manx_archive_2.pl/md/read/id/501743 and the following messages.

Although there was more than one Ballajora/Ballajorey Corkill family, this particular one doesn't seem to suit the suggested father William for your Robert. The generations are wrong.

Please have a look through and see whether you can spot anything which I missed.

Sue
