John Harrington (1927) Castletown Bearhaven
« on: Sunday 12 April 15 20:54 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am looking for the ancestors of John Harrington born 1927 Castletown Bere. His father was John Harrington and his mother was Katie Coffey (this is the spelling on the marriage certificate although I know there are a few variations). I believe John (1927) had a sister called Mary, John left for England in the 1960's this may have been after his parents had passed away. I also believe there may have been some connection to the family that ran the ferry from the island to the mainland.

Have you got John Harrington and Katie Coffey's marriage cert?

This will give their father's names and it may than be possible to find them in the 1911 Census.
