Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Re: Hannah Welsh
« on: Sunday 09 October 11 11:15 BST (UK)  »
Dear Moya

Thanks for that helpful information. I hadn't realised that Robert Kneale was so young when he married.  In fact it's a bit of a mystery how Jane Hay Wells came to be on the Isle of Man as she was born in London.  I did not know that civil registration for births did not begin until 1878 as I had assumed it was a similar time to England's.  That would explain why I cannot find a record of Hannah/Ann's birth. Could you let me know where you found the information please so that I can add this to my database?
Many thanks
Joan (Meadowmaid)

I'm looking for any information but particularly birth and death records for Robert Kneale.  All I know is that he married Jane Hay Wells in 1842 and this was registered in Braddon.  Tha k you.  Meadowmaid.

Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Hannah Welsh

I'm looking for a birth record for Hannah Welsh who was born around 1851 in Douglas, IOM. It's possible that Hannah was baptised on 5th June 1851.  Her mother was called Jane Hay Wells and she married Edward Byrn Welsh in 1849.  Jane had previously married to Robert Kneale in 1842.  Oddly enough, the 1851 census gives Hannah's name as Hannah Kneale (2 months old).  Another oddity is that when Hannah married John Foster Kennedy in 1873, the marriage certificate calls her Annie.  Any help would be so useful to me.  Thank you. Meadowmaid.
