Looking for Quarrie and Hardy

[david wilson]

My great grandfather, Allan Thomas Quarrie came from the isle of man. He lived in Kirkby nr Liverpool, which was a small farming village at that time. He married Kate Appleton in  1889 and they had   8 children. They were Dick Joe Ted Allan Bill Fred Maggie Annie and Alice. I think they had two more other children, but they died in infancy.

A second cousin on the Appleton side of the family has traced the start of the families back to 1748.

I hope this will be of some help to you.

Hello,
I am a descendant of John Quarrie - in angi0's first post in this topic, they quote from the census data for 1851 - the John listed as being 10 years old at this time emigrated to New Zealand on the vessel 'Telegraph' in 1863 - he married one Anne Jane Dianne Hall in 1875 in Auckland, New Zealand.

Several years ago I found information on-line (I forget where - but I do recall it was a Manx site) that linked the material I had with the material about the Quarries on the Manx site - the name of the ship and the date of arrival of John Quarrie.  There was sufficient overlap of my information with this material that I consider the link to be firmly established.

A cousin of mine may have further information - but for all I know, I may be replying to my cousin's topic...

Several years ago I found information on-line (I forget where - but I do recall it was a Manx site)

? www.manxnotebook.com ? as quite an extensive fam history of Manx Quarries

[clare]

Frances,  do you have any connection to the Quarrie's or Christian families,
 and Yes, Manx is a very good sight

no connection whatsoever - the Quarries were of Scots origin tho one offspring added quite a bit to Manx folklore

I've been investigating the Manx Towle's and for some reason have a couple of photographs labelled as 'Mary Hardy'.....A guess would put the images about late 1800's to early 1900's, not sure how many Mary Hardy's there have been on island - I'll dig it out and post you can decide for yourselves if it's someone you're talking about.......and.......what her connection to the Towle's was if it is??

[Frances_mnb]

the backs of the photo is often a useful dating mechanism (see under photographers on www.manxnotebook.com) - theTowles seemed to be a Ramsey based family most born in England who arrived on Island c.1864 - Mary Towle or Mrs Towle noted in a couple of directories - a son Frederick Huxley is noted as having d in 1894 age 23 in Manitoba
