Gelling of Ballaoates 1700s

Excellent. Thanks Frances. Didn't see this in the Notebook ... did I miss it?

Braddan Burial Register: Robert Gelling Ballaoates aged 84 years Nov 26 1797.
This nicely matches to baptism of Robert Gelling son of Paul Gelling 24 Dec 1713 Braddan. Paul Gelling married Isabel Moore 29 May 1709 Braddan.

Paul G could possibly be 1736 or 1760 will.

Robert Gelling & Margaret Stevenson, md 1753, had a son Paul 1756 who must have died because the second Paul (of Braddan MI #484) came along in 1778.

I'm pondering if Paul of MI#484 married. If he did, it likely is Elizabeth Garrett md 2 Jan 1802 Braddan with 8 children 1803-1820.

Another son of RG & MS is Robert bp 1775, mentioned in both parent's wills. Perhaps he's the one who married Margaret Quine in 1800 Braddan, with 7 children 1800-1823? I found Margaret in 1841 at Toxteth Pk with identifiable children and grandchildren, and also a Joseph Gelling Joiner 27 listed after the grandchildren, who matches well to be son b 1814 of Paul G & Eliz Garrett. Hence I've put PG/EG and RG/MQ together, but maybe neither belong here.

Until yesterday I had these folks under Paul Gelling & Jane Gelling md 1756 Maughold, with a son Robert bp 1765 Braddan and a son Paul bp 1773 Braddan. However, Paul matches awfully well to the following:
Braddan Burial: Paul Gelling Bachelor aged 30 yrs Mar 12 1804.
The father of this family, Paul, may match a 1795 Marown will.

Lots to think about here.
