Re: Margaret Christian
In Response To: Margaret Christian ()

Continued:

In the 1871 census following Robert Morrison’s death, Margaret was with daughter Margaret Ann at 12 Bark Lane, Ramsey:

Name Age
Margaret Morrison 30
Margaret A Morrison 12

*******
********
and 2 of her children were with their maternal grandparents at Glenoldyn, Lezayre :
Name Age
Robert Christian 67
Elizabeth Christian 68
Thomas Christian 34
John Morrison 10
George Morrison 7

*******
1881
2 South Shore Lane, Ramsey
Name Age
Margaret Morrison 40
George F. Morrison 18
Ada Jane Morrison 8
John James Morrison 5
Robert Morrison 1

(George Thomas Morrison bap Dec 1865 Andreas, parents Robert Morrison and Margaret Christian)
Eda Jane Morrison, illegit daughter of Mgt Morrison, widow bap July 1872 Ramsey.
Robert Morrison bap 11 Aug 1879 Ramsey to mother Mgt Morrison.
Can’t see a baptism for 5yr old John James.

*************
On 24 Oct 1884 there were 2 baptisms in Maughold:

John James age 9 yrs, son of John Cowley (fisherman) and Margaret, Mona St, Ramsey.
Robert age 5 yrs, son of John Cowley (fisherman) and Margaret, Mona St, Ramsey.

*******
Then in 1891:

11 Mona Street, Ramsey

Name Age
John Cowley 60
Margaret Cowley 64
Edith Cowley 17
John James Cowley 15
Robert Cowley 11

I think that 19 yr old Edith is Ada Jane / Eda Jane b 1872
Margaret’s age is wrong, unless this is a different Margaret, but I don’t think so, going by the death entry below.

*******

I think this may be Margaret’s death:
