Hi
I am trying to trace my Great Great Grandmother's family. Her name was Elizabeth Crellin who married, I believe, 3 times one of them to my Great Great Grandfather William Henry Cunningham (I think he came from Ireland).
Elizabeth was born in 1856 in Peel IOM and was a twin but her twin died quite young but was one of 10 children of Thomas Crellin and Jane Cowle who died in 1878 and he remarried an Ann Leece. I have not been able to trace Elizabeth's death and have only been able to find her on the 1901 Census under the name of Rabbit (her third husband) after that I cannot find her. Is any one able to locate her siblings (including marriages, deaths and births). Their names are Emily, Thomas, Ann, Margaret, Elizabeth (GGGM), Jane (Twin), Robina, Harriett, Lydia, William Henry and Rhoda.
Many thanks in advance for any help received.

Indexing of BMDs for the period are pretty much complete.
You give names yet not ages/birthplaces(towns/villages). You need to give all you can.
You can do a lot of looking yourself at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/
where was she in 1901? what was the household (name, birthyear,birthplace)

Hi
Elizabeth Crellin was born in Peel IOM in around 1856 and on the 1901 Census she is was in Birkenhead, Wirral with her third hubsand, Denis Rabbit, who was some 20 years older and from Ireland. On this Census she is down as Ellen Rabbit aged 54 born around 1854 living with Denis and her children William H B:1884, Jane B: 1890 and Mary B: 1892, all born in Birkenhead (Mary being my Grt Grandmother).
Elizabeth seems to have been called a few names i.e. Ellen, Elizabeth and under mostly Cunningham even when she was married to Denis Rabbit. If anyone is able to find a death for her which may match any of the above. I would be most grateful.
Going back to her siblings, Emily B: 1848 Peel, Thomas B:1850 Peel, Ann B:1852 German, Margaret B: 1854 German, Elizabeth as above, Jane B: 1854 Peel (Elizabeth's twin), Robina B: 1858 German, Harriett B: 1860 German, Lydia B: 1861 Peel, William Henry B: 1864 Peel and Rhonda B: 1867 Peel.
Many thanks :)

No compulsory registration of births in IOM until 1878.
