Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Place in the Isle of Man

Thank you so so much! That's the proof I was needing. On Elinor's will it mentions her husband Thomas, therefore his name is confirmed and also that she passed away before him. Much appreciated

Coming back to the original enquiry, I just came across this will of Thomas Christian where the name of Ballanekilley appears

Thanks, I suspected that much. It has only been found that my 2nd GGF and GGM were from the IOM so I am just learning about the peculiarities of the island.

This is the will I was referring to

The thing is I have not yet been able to find any record linking her to my confirmed GGF Christian. Not on the specific Manx database not on others such as ancestry or familysearch. The only link is a supposed will of the 1730's mentioning an Ellinor Christian "als Corlet" but it's a transcription not an original. And being a Christian a common surname on the island I am not sure.

For the sake of clarification, this is the branch of the Christian family I am referring to (Thomas highlighted in yellow)

Jane<--Daniel<--John<--Thomas Sr<--John (I just found him on Thomas's baptism record)

There is another branch of Mary (wife of James Killey) which I have not investigated that much yet

ps: I have doubts about Elinor Curlet being his wife, but that is a matter for another topic I believe

My apologies. It was Christian indeed. You see, in many many places I've found it as Xtian and perhaps when I typed it I left the r behind. My mistake.

And yes, we are referring to that branch of the Christians. It seems that one of my ancestors was indeed the vicar. I found out that on a marriage record mentioning the wedding of a "reverend XX Christian the Vicar of..."

It seems my second GGF and GGm were both Manx and I am now tracing back that family line. Which I must say it has been much more easy to track due to plenty of data at imuseum.im website. I found very useful the mentioning of the wife's maiden name at records.
Cheers

No specific church and the year is 1742 IIRC

Hello

I am trying to decipher the place of death of Thomas Chistian. It begins with B and ends of Killoy it seems but I am not sure
