In Response To: Re: Clague/Cowley ancestry ()

I had another search online for the 4 photos using Google and eventually found them on Pinterest---but you can’t get a good look at the information without registering. I did manage to scribble down some of the labels on the more recent photos before it blocked my view.

Using that information, I did some research working backwards and discovered that the parents of the 2 young women are likely to have been Thomas Clague and Catherine Jane Faragher who married in Braddan on 14 April 1874. Thomas was a coachman/car driver b 1851 Onchan, probably the son of Philip Clague and Catherine Karran (m Braddan 12 April 1845).
If this turns out to be correct, then this Thomas Clague would have been a nephew of the Thomas Clague who married Ellen Cowley.
I was wildly wrong with my estimation of the date of the photos of the man and the woman!

More to follow.
