Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Re: Isle of Man census...anywhere from 1800-1850'w

Hello Maggie,

I also have KEWN ancestors in Lancashire, who supposedly came from the Isle of Man (although I have never been able to prove this). However, I noted you thought you knew your John KEWN's mother's maiden name may be an Elizabeth KELLY. 

So I had a look at the IGI. Have you seen this christening entry on the IGI. The age agrees :

JOHN KEWIN  Male Christening:  21 NOV 1830   Braddan, Isle Of Man, England
Parents:   Father:  JOHN KEWIN  &   Mother:  ELIZTH KELLY    Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. Source Information:
Batch No.:  Dates:  Source Call No.:  Type:  Printout Call No.:   
C038021  1626 - 1849  0106708   Film  6909377   
Film or fiche number 0106708  ;Film/fiche search results
Parish register transcripts of Kirk-Braddan, 1624-1883.  Church of England. Parish Church of Kirk-Braddan (Isle of Man)

I also found the marriage for this couple :
JOHN KEWN    Male  Marriages:   Spouse:  ELIZABETH KELLY 
Marriage:  28 NOV 1829   Braddan, Isle Of Man, England  Extracted marriage record for locality listed in the record.

M038021  1683 - 1733  0106708   Film  6909378   Film 
M038021  1733 - 1817  0106709   Film  NONE   
M038021  1817 - 1844  0106710   Film  NONE 

I have not personally researched Isle of Man records, however perhaps someone could advise you if this film would give details of their parents names possibly given at the time of their marriage?

I checked but could see not siblings baptised to John Snr and Elizabeth, nor could I find a christening for John Snr in the same Parish. However, there were quite a few Elizabeth Kelly's christened in the Parish of the correct age to be John's mother.

I hope some of this proves of help to you.
Good Luck with your search,
Kindest Regards, Amanda
