many thanks for the reply.  I am decended from Robert and Jane, Robert being my G G G G Grandfather.

Do you have any thought or info on where the Archers might have originated from?  It seems clear that they are not an "original" Manx family. 

I would be happy to share any information I have on Archer/Fargher/Cowin though I should admit that much of my information is collated from other researchers.

regards

Mike

I'm looking into Daniel Cowin c1807.  Married (1) Margeret Scarffe.  They are listed on the 1841 census but disappear from the 1851 census.

Daniel and Margaret had the following children: 

Margaret (1840)
William D (1846)
Emily E (1852)
Robert Francis (1854)

all born Douglas .

In Feb 1858 Daniel married (Sarah) Jane Corleen who is subsequently listed in 1881 with William D (as step son)  There were 8 or 9 children of the second marriage.

The mystery is:

Where were Daniel and family in 1851?  If anyone has run across this family and can fill in the info that would be great

thanks

Mike
