Re: Thomas Lewney-Ann Lewney, 1868

My present thoughts are:
Robert Looney (bc 1795 Maughold) married Betty Sayle 17 May 1821, Maughold. Buried Maughold 27 May 1867 aged 75.
Elizabeth Sayle (bc 1800 Maughold) was buried at Maughold 1 Aug 1884 aged 85.
Children were:-
Robert 15 Jul 1823 Bride
John 1 Jan 1824 Maughold
Mary Ann 5 May 1821 Maughold
Betty 25 Mar 1828 Maughold
Thomas 16 Oct 1836 Maughold

Thomas married:
1. Jane Elizabeth Caine 11 Aug 1860 Lonan
2. Ann Jane Looney 7 Mar 1868 Lonan
3. Eunice Christian Callow 6 Jan 1878 Bride

Buried at Lonan 4 Jan 1882

There were issue of all three marriages.
1. John Thomas 9 Mar 1861
1. Philip 4 May 1862 died 1863
1. Eliabeth Ann 27 Mar 1864
2. Horatio Christopher 28 Jul 1869
2. William Frederick 16 Aug 1871
2. Joshua Shimmin 29 Oct 1873 died 1875
3. Eunice Margaret 8 Oct 1879

All baptized Lonan

Also Richard Looney married Esther Sansbury.

The 1881 census has a Thomas Looney (43) and family in Ramsey. I think this is the family of Thomas Looney & Mary Garrett
In 1861 they were visiting with Patrick Lanaghan in College St, Ramsey.

I don't have a Thomas son of John & Elizabeth Knowles.

Ann Jane Looney - 1871 census and burial information suggest she was born ca 1842 at Andreas. The only Ann aged 8/18 in 1851/61 was born in Irleland the daughter of a customs officer.

I suspect the Ann jane of interest was illegitimate.
