Re: william scarff & eleanor gelling

Correct. Jane Scarffe bp 23 Dec 1832 Lonan d/o Thomas Scarffe & Eleanor Quine. Thomas Scarffe was s/o William Scarffe & Eleanor Gelling, and a brother to Jane Clucas. Eleanor Quine bp 3 Mar 1799 Lonan was d/o Thomas Quine and Catharine Sayle who md 13 Jan 1799 Lonan. Mary Quine, who married Quirk, was sister of Eleanor bp 5 Apr 1812.
I'm curious who the father Thomas Quine was. There are quite a few Thomas Quines including in Lonan, but it's tempting to think he might be the one bp 27 Aug 1775 Onchan s/o Thomas Quine and Jane Corlett. That would make him brother of John Quine bp 9 Apr 1770 who married Eleanor Gelling's sister Mary Gelling in 1801 at Lonan. This would tie a lot of things together, but it might be the wrong Thomas Quine.
