*******************
Richard Caveen / McLaughlan b 1840 married Mary Ann Thomson in Malew in 1864. He was a baker and gave his father’s details as John Caveen, harbour master. The witnesses were William McLaughlan and Mary McLaughlan. He had been baptised (2 June 1841, parents David and Elizth Mclaughlan---he was age approx 7 months old) only a few weeks before his mother married John Caveen. This suggests that David McLaughlan died no later than March 1840, if he was Richard’s biological father. I can’t find a burial. He was alive in 1836 (or whenever Pigot’s 1837 directory was compiled) ---he was listed as an innkeeper on Quay, Castletown.
Thomas Creighton McLauchlan b 1836 married (as a minor) Sophia Hallows in Braddan Aug 1855 and he gave his father’s details as John Caveen, baker. John Caveen signed as a witness.
John Caveen and Eliz McLaughlan nee Hampton had these children:
John bap 1 March 1843 Castletown St Mary’s, father a baker.
Margaret Elizabeth bap 23 May 1851 Douglas, father an innkeeper.
Both children died young.
