Hi,

My name is Jackie, and I am researching Kinvigs in the Isle of Man.

My GGGG Grand Father Thomas KINVIG b. 5.09.1784 Arbory IOM married 28.5.1809 Braddon, IOM.. to Isabella CURPHEY b. 28.12.1784 Douglas IOM.
Their daughter Eliza b. 20.06.1815 married William MUNCASTER.

I have got a bit further back on the KINVIG line if, this line interests you.

My email is

It's a while ago that I left that message and it's very nice to know that someone finally replied  ;D

I have the Kinvig line I'm researching back to William Kenvigg 1615 and forward to the death of my husband's grandmother in 1949. The line starts in Arbory and then they moved to Liverpool between 1851 and 1861.

It was a hard slog but now that more records are on line it's a heck of a lot easier.

I have quite an extensive tree but unfortunately I don't have any of the names you mentioned on it.

Thanks for the reply.

My Kinvigs (Kenvigg)  go back to
John Kinvegg 1615 and Ellen Beggagh (Bodaugh)
and their son
John Kinvig abt 1640 Arbory and Elizabeth (Bessie Cubbon).

All the best with your research

For some reason I'm not getting notices of your posts  ???

I also have a John Kinvig 1640 married to a Bessie (Elizabeth) Cubbon but I have John's father as William Kenvigg.

I have no proof of this except some research done on behalf of one of the Kneen family who was researching her husband's Kinvig family tree.

http://www.kneen.com/Kinvig.htm

Bessie Cubbon's mother was Christian Crosse and her father was Fin or Phinlo Cubbon.

The Kinvig family came into possession of Ballagrenia (Ballagreyney) in Arbory through this marriage to Bessie Cubbon. There was a contract bargain.

There is a summary here if you look at the 1674 entry  for Christian Cubon nee Crosse.

http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/famhist/willsums/ay1699.htm

Phinlo died in 1680. His death is mentioned here under 1680/81 entry #016.

Hi mab,

You are right with William, my error. I do have William  m. Ellen Beddagh , for some reason I wrote John, sorry about the error.
I had Bessie's parents as Chriatian Crosse and Phinlo Cubbon with a question mark.
Thanks for your reply.

Yes she is in the family tree that I have worked on for some time now. She is my husband's 1st cousin 4x's removed  ;D

I have a family tree on Ancestry.uk called The Tate Family Tree......http://person.ancestry.co.uk/tree/3397183/person/6908975872/facts

Margaret married William Radcliffe on 04 Nov 1843 in Arbory.

Her parents were Thomas Kinvig and Jane Quayle. Thomas' parents were William Kinvig @ 1737 m to Margaret Juke in 1768.

I found the following Radcliffe children for Margaret and William: William abt 1844, Thomas abt 1847, Ann abt 1850, James abt 1853, John abt 1856, Jane about 1859, Margaret abt 1861, Mary abt 1863.

Then again I could be wrong but I have been researching the Kinvig lines for some time now. I can get the line back some considerable time.

Post by: Frances_mnb on Wednesday 24 August 16 21:13 BST (UK)
until 20th century 95% of Kinvigs were in Arbory or Malew with a few in Rushen (the southern parishes of the Island)
www.imuseum.im should help you on most of the parish registers  (tho the marriage reg pre 1729 for Arbory is lost)
I have on my website (www.manxnotebook.com) summarised most 18th C wills - my CD Rom has many more details of their landholding which will be required to really track the families

 - A W Moore in his Manx Names (see www,manxnotebook.com) has the earliest date for name of 1641 but there are earlier notes in various records post 1600 - I'm not 100% convinced by his derivation of the name tho

Hello Margaret :)

This is exciting after all these years.

I have all that you have listed up til "Jony Taylor b 1766  m 1788  William Crebbin - Rushen" I didn't know that Jony had married William Crebbin etc so thank you for that.

I did get the Kinvigs and Cubbons back one more level.

William Kenvigg abt 1615ish.

Father of John Kinvig that married Bessie Cubbon.

It's been so long since I looked at that part of the tree I can't remember why I decided that William was ours but I think it was because of this tree......http://www.kneen.com/Kinvig.htm

The owner of the site who was a Brian Kneen has sadly passed away. Many years ago we had a few discussions about the Kinvigs. The tree was created by his daughter and she did have some professional help in compiling it so I decided to go with that info.

Now for Bessie Cubbon I have firm research.

Elizabeth "Bessie" Cubbon was the daughter of Phinlo "Fin" Cubbon. Fin was born abt 1620 an died 09 Dec 1680. There was a will and I have a picture of it. Basically he leaves his goods to his daughter Ellin, son Thomas and his wife Christian Cubbon. Bessie is not mentioned but she had already been endowed in another manner in 1663.

Christian Cubbon nee Crosse was Bessie's mother. There was a marriage contract and a precis of the details of Bessie's endowment is on the Manx Notebook but I can't see where there is a search facility to find it.

Basically in 1663 Christian Cubbon sets up an arrangement whereby the land owned by her and her husband Fin will ultimately go to her daughter Bessy upon the death of Christian. This is how the Kinvig family came into possession of Ballagrenia (Ballagreyney) in Arbory.

Hi Mary Ann,

I agree, this is exciting!

My husband's paternal line has been extremely challenging as his father was fostered as was his paternal grandmother Edna Cain, however, through persistance along with DNA matches, we have been able to find many of his ancestors.

I find the Kinvig line extremely interesting as it can be traced so far back in time. Thank you so much for sharing all this information which will  take me a while to assimilate.

I haven't been able to find a marriage for Jony Taylor and William Crebbin, which I estimate would have taken place abt 1787 probably in Rushen IOM. Nor have I found a death date for Jony as yet.

Thank you Mary Ann for posting this link and also to Frances_mnb for such an incredible website.

I found the summary of wills for both Christian Cubon nee Crosse (1674) and  Phinlo Cubon (1680). This is great!

I  also found a summary of a will for William Crebbin dated 23 April 1799 -  Rushen in which his four daughters, including our Catharine and wife Joney als Taylor are mentioned. I have his burial - IOM Burial Index on 24 April 1799 at Rushen.

I didn't know that William Crebbin and Joney Taylor had a daughter called Jane, who is listed first in his will summary.  The other daughters are: Margaret bapt 1790, Eleanora 1797 and Catharine 1795 - a son, William bap 1793 is not mentioned in the will summary for some reason.

William Crebbin died in 1799. His last child was born in 1797. He must have been fairly youngish and would have left Joney/Judith a widow with children.

I found a marriage in Rushen of a William Clucas to a Judith Crebbin widow on 20 Feb 1804. It's too bad that her previous maiden name isn't mentioned but it could be her  :)

I’ve been searching high and low for any record of my great grandmother Minnie Kinvig of the IOM. My dads entire family passed away years ago and he knows next to nothing about his heritage except he had a Grandmother named
Minnie Kinvig from IOM. From what I have found I believe her parents were William Kinvig and Lizzie McCarthy but I’m not 100%. I’m guessing they were born in the late 1800s, which isn’t much help. Is there anything you ca provide or any direction to point me? It would mean so much to give my dad info that he’s longed to know for his 70th bday next month. There are just so many Williams I don’t know what to do. I’d truly appreciate any guidance. Thank you so much for your time. Kim

I'm sorry but I didn't get notification about your post on Rootschat. I have Minnie Kinvig on my husband's tree. Not related to him but someone in her family married someone in his.

If you need any further info let me know.
