identifying Jane Taylor nee Cannell
In Response To: Re: Taylor family ()

Is this the right Jane Cannell b circa 1825 who married Edward Taylor 9 Jan 1855 Braddan ?

Looking at the few scraps of evidence:

Her residence prior to marriage in Jan 1855 was Athol St, Douglas.

Her father was Thomas Cannell, farmer.

Witnesses were Ann Cannell and John Clague.

Her baby Emma Jane Taylor b 1857 was buried at St Luke’s Baldwin, Braddan 8 July 1857 at a time when she and her husband were living in Liverpool. Had she possibly been visiting her parents when the baby died ? Baldwin isn’t near where Edward’s Taylor family had lived. So I looked for a Jane Cannell whose family (parents and/or siblings) lived near Baldwin.

I looked at all the Jane Cannell entries of the right age group in the IOM 1851 census using Brian Lawson’s census index to make sure of finding them all, and they were all eliminated.

So I looked on the mainland and found:

If this is the right entry, Jane and Edward could have met in Liverpool rather than on the IOM.

Does anyone recognise this Ballawillan Cannell family ?
