Re: James Oates/Mary Quiggin
In Response To: James Oates/Mary Quiggin ()

Here are some more extracts from Manx Notebook (hope Frances doesn't mind!) - 4 Will summaries (including the one posted in full by Donna), which are for Mary (Gell Quiggin) Corjeage's parents William & Margaret (Cannell) Gell, William's brother Thomas Gell (& John Quiggin, Mary Gell's first husband and father of Mary (Quiggin) Oates.) Then follows a transcription I made of the Will of Margaret Corjeage, Patrick's sister, just for interest. The edge of the page was lost in the fold on the film.
