Hi,
Can anyone help me trace the wife of John Cannell and his parents. John was born in 1796 in Kirk Michael. I know he had a daughter called Margaret who was born in 1827. I thought that he was married to Eleanor Caine but could not find her on the 1851 census. Then I considered that she had died before the census was completed as I found an entry with an Isabella(Crellin) listed with John Cannell
I would appreciate it if someone could help solve this mystery.
Thanks in anticipation
Lindy

Dear Lindy,
i have only just come across your note - from almost 2 years ago about John Cannell and his wife Eleanor CAINE.
From what I can work out John remarried Isabella in 1845 after the death of eleanor in 1841. Jane was born in 1841 and also died in 1841.
However your query was a long time ago and you are probably a wealth of info on the family. Did you find the parents of John? i am favouring Thomas and Joney Collin but ???
I would love to know the update of your note, John Cannell was my 2nd great grandfather.
