G'day there, I am having great difficulty tracing family from IoM. It appears my ancestors have reasonably commom names. I know that Frederick RADCLIFFE wed Elizabeth Lucinda Winn or Wynn. Fred was born IoM married toxteth, Lancs. His father is Daniel mother Jane Ann GILL. I found Jane birth c1826 in Lezayre possibly correct. Daniel was a Police officer. I believe Daniel's parents are John RADCLIFFE and Elizabeth TEARE. Both appear to have been born in Andreas, though some things don't seem to gel. I was wondering if someone could tell me if what I am doing is heading in right direction and also if someone else is also researching same family.
Many thanks for this opportunity.
Kindest regards

see your post elsewhere under IoM re same request

1851 Census Daniel is a Butcher born c 1823, Andreas;
HO107/2524/333/11
Children;
Anna 1849
Allan 1850
ANN ELIZABETH Ratcliffe, Christened 07 May 1848, Ramsey, Isle of Mann
Parents, David RATCLIFFE and Jane GILL
Jane GILL Married Daniel RADCLIFFE, 29 January 1848, Andreas, Isle of Mann'
As Jane has different dates and POB in various Census I think you need the Marriage Cert to confirm her Father and his Occp;
1851, 1826, Lezayre
1861, 1822, Ramsey (indexed as Ramage on Anc)
1871, 1827, Isle of Mann
1881, 1827, Ramsey Maughold
Jane could be the daughter of JOHN/CATHERINE;
HO107/1463/8/German
As Jane/Daniel name a Son Daniel Hampton Ratcliffe, Chr 04 April 1851, Ramsey, IOM then the Hampton is probably a clue to either Jane or Daniels Mothers maiden name.

the Jane Radcliffe age 39 in Ramsey 1861 + 1881 is wife of Thomas radcliffe master coach builder not of Daniel Radcliffe butcher

ah - but if you had indicated non-manx census - there is a 39 jane who matches in ramsey (just to show how common that name is in north of island)
presume the stange place is Kirk Andreas
Re sending for cert - I suggest asking on the MB I referenced on her other request - the fathers' names are not officially required until post 1849 marriage Act (I said there that IoM was different) - some parishes jumped the gun by buying English style pre-printed registers that had these questions
-
Ah, thanks for the info re Manx Marriages.
Sorry I just presumed you would be looking at Lancs Census as Fred was married in Lancs :-[
Death Regs;
West Derby, Lancs;
RADCLIFFE;
ALICE, Sept 1864, 8b 302
CHARLES, Sept 1864, 8b 277
DANIEL, March 1870, 8b 241, Age 19
I wonder if Alice/Charles died of the same disease.

I couldnt find where despbubs had posted her other request and you had answered there so was just going on what I could find.
Cheers,
Trish :)

I should have checked your profile to see you were a Manx expert :)
Off to bed for me.

G'day there all,
WOW, no wonder I'm confused. All your info/research is incredible. Thank you. I found the census'. I also checked police history for IoM and Lancashire, the areas Daniel resided. I can only find a John Radcliffe as Police officer. Now I am having main problem with Jane Ann GILL. Which marriage certificate would I order, as I don't know the parents. Do I concentrate on Daniel's dates?
Thanks again, hope this makes sense.
Kindest Regards
