Thanks for looking, Donna.

Margaret, to combine the info in the last few messages, the parents of your grandmother, Margaret Craine, were Stephen Craine and Isabella McKibbin. Her paternal grandparents were John Craine and Elizabeth Cannell. Stephen was born 10 March 1849, baptised 23 March 1854 in Douglas, and it seems as though his mother died when he was 5 years old, and was buried 9 May 1854. His father, John Craine, then married Margaret Looney 24 Feb 1856, Braddan, and Stephen's half brother, Benjamin, was born 27 March 1858, baptised 4 April 1858 Douglas St Thomas.
