Looking for Info on Collister Family

[Martian123]

Hi all,

I am trying to find info on John Collister (b1827 Isle of Man) and Wife Elizabeth (b1825 Isle of Man).  Their eldest daughter Elizabeth was born in Isle of Man abt 1945 but their remaining children (John, MaryAnn, Isabella, Jane, Eleanor) born in Cumberland from 1850 - 1859 ish.

1861 census has John as a Fireman at Tin Works, 1871 census as Coal Engine Stoker

Any pointers to marriage or birth records welcome - I can't seem to find any.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Martin.

Thanks so much for this - I already had the 1861/1871 Census records, but the marriage record is great, pins them down to Marown - its a shame it doesn't have fathers' details but Thomas is likely to be Elizabeth's father.

- Yes - Elizabeth Christian, baptised 18/03/1827 to Thomas Christian and Elinor Cottier

Buying a copy of the 1845 marriage cert should give their respective fathers names
