His burial and that of his first wife are not obvious - there are only 6 burials in index for Braddan in 1717 which looks as though the register is deficient, there is a burial for a Christian Oats in Braddan 27 Jun 1709 with a will for Christian Cubon als Oates Braddan 1709; marriage Braddan 3 Apr 1703. There is a will for Alice Cubon in Braddan 1719 with a burial for an Alice Clague in same year (to be checked) and marriage Braddan 4 Jul 1710
