Information for William Kermeen born in Foxdale 1870
« on: Friday 25 February 11 07:03 GMT (UK) »
I am on a quest to find my father's family history, and if I am lucky to find my distant Manx living relatives so this is the purpose of my post.  My father was Robert Arthur W Kermeen son of Muriel Jane Grant and Arthur William Kermeen who came to Canada around 1910.
Arthur Kermeen's father's info: William appears to be the son of William Kermeen and Elizabeth Evans. The 1881 census has them in Waterloo, Great Crosby, Liverpool.   Arthur William Kermeen was born 1899 in West Derby Liverpool to father William Kermeen DOB 12 Oct 1870, Died 28 Oct 1950 and Edith Slater. They married at West Derby R/O in 1898. William Kermeen was born in Foxdale Glenfaba, Isle of Man.   I would greatly appreciate any information Debbie Modderman/kermeen!!! 

The information I am looking for would be the parents of and further family information on William Kermeen married to Elizabeth Evans. 
children: William Kermeen son of William Kermeen and Elizabeth Evans
born in 12 Oct 1870
Margaret (MADGE) Kermeen
          1875 –
Emma Kermeen
          1877 –
Walter Kermeen
          1880 – 1936
SARAH LOUISE (LUCY) KERMEEN
          1882 –

Welcome to RootsChat Debbie  :)

The 1871 census shows a brother Robert for William:

1871
RG10/3836 60 34
9 Albert Rd

William Kermeen, head, 26, Joiner (Journeyman), b. Isle of Man
Elizabeth, wife, 27, b. Shropshire Westbury
William, son, 5 mo, b. Lancashire Waterloo
Robert, brother, unm, 24, Joiner, b. Isle of Man
John Evans, brother in law, 10, scholar, b. Shropshire Westbury

The William Kermeen/Elizabeth Evans marriage details are on http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html , showing William's father as another William

Quote
Marriage: 15 Apr 1869 St Helen, Sefton, Lancashire, England
William Kermeen - Full Joiner Bachelor of Waterloo
Elizabeth Evans - Full Spinster of Waterloo
    Groom's Father: William Kermeen, Miner
    Bride's Father: William Evans, Book keeper
Witness: Edw. Kendrick; Caroline Rickard
    Married by Banns by: Langdon Hawes curate
    Register: Marriages 1864 - 1884, Page 89, Entry 178

From there, this 1851 census looks like a good match:

1851
HO107/2523 92 13
Patrick, Isle of Man
Foxdale

William Kermeen, head, 42, Lead Miner
Ann, wife, 38
Eliza, dau, 14, Employed at home
John, son, 11, scholar
Mary, dau, 8, scholar
William, son, 6, scholar
Elizabeth, dau, 3
Robert, son, 4
Sophia, dau, 2 mo

All born Patrick

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch has this christening:
William Kermeen, 8 Dec 1844, Patrick, Isle of Man
parents William Kermeen and Ann Kneale

There are a number of christenings to William Kermeen and Ann/e Kneal/e on the IOM , from 1835 on.

The 1841 census reference for the family is HO107/1465/10 3 2, possibly indexed as Hermens.
