Re: ThomasCowin & Isabella Christian

Greetings David,
James' sister, Catharine, married Matthias Clague on August 19th 1859 in Braddan parish Church and one of the witnesses was James Cowan (sic). The other was a known at that time unmarried sister Jane Cowin (sic). I wonder if James could have been in the Isle of Man then. No way to know. Also. The Ancestry Tree that gave me the quotation from James Cowan's death cert seems to indicate he died in 1907, not '09. I'm not losing sleep over it but somebody made a transcription error it would seem. Now. As to the list of IoM Immigrants to Aus , on the two ships James came to Melbourne on with the 27 Clagues, no Cleggs.; I would be very interested in you sending that to me. And yes. My e mail address is the same. Again. Thanks. I don't think we can milk this for much more but Hey! You never know..
