Looking at Lawson's BMD site http://www.iomfhs.im/lawsons/LawsonBMD/Main_Site_index.html

Marriage 28th June 1908 at St George, Douglas
Gill, John Henry
Holmes, Agnes

Volume D, Page 381b


A quick (very quick!) search of Lawsons Births, finds this:
12th May 1899
Douglas Gill  son of Norman Gill and Elizabeth Ann Foster

So now you have John's mother's maiden name, too!

Norman Gale age 25 a Tobacco spinner is at 18 Fort St in 1881 with wife + 2 ch
in 1861 entered as Noman William - the william from his fa's name
in 1861 Agnes born Lenark [?lanark] Scotland - appears to be a widow as head of household at 23 Shaws brow
in 1851 newly married Wm Gale (born Marown) age 29  a shoemaker at 58 Sand st (today Strand street - main shopping st in Douglas)

it is possible that Wm was bapt Andrew Wm Gale/Gill s/o Wm Gale/Gill + Elizth Clucas Marown 18211021

Thank you very much indeed Mr Garrad. You have given me such a lot of information and I appreciate it very much.
I will look at the lawsons BMD ( now that you have mentioned it) to see if I can find  John Henry Gills wife and children. Thanks again for your help.
