Maddrell

[amandaconnally]

hi and thank you for your efforts. i had a feeling it wouldn't be so easy. they had common IOM names, didn't they? also, the fact that they gave different years of birth too..
I think I may go down the route of tracing John Maddrell through the Army in India as Arabella was born out there, there may be something on her birth certificate?
I've also tried John Maddrell and Ellen's marriage on IOM as I would presume that they got married before travelling to India.

thanks again for your help.

Leave it with me.
I'll see if I can pop down to the Manx Museum library - I should be able to get the PR entry from the microfilms.

There are some burials that might be worth researching?

Hugh Christian, age 6 weeks, Ramsey, 23rd September 1863
Hugh Christian. age 56, Ramsey, 7th May 1885

Both at Maughold parish.

definitely! thank you!

if the age reported for John in 1881 is correct then likely to be s/o John Maddrell + Margt Nelson -
the John + Margt Quayle have a 3 yr old John in 1841 so looks as tho their 1st child died
marriages are usually in wife's parish - maughold includes most of Ramsey  -
 however can't immediately see a hugh (or Ewan/euan if Manx) christian in 1851 tho there is a Hugh that matches burial as a shoemaker in Ramsey

Hi thanks for this. There are so many possibilities when there are not a lot of surnames. I thought maddrell was so unique when I started, now there are so many on IOM!

hi again all
i have been looking on ancestry and there are marriage dates for john maddrell on 11th feb 1832. the records show the wife to be margaret nelson and margaret quayle, both in Rushen. could it be a coincidence that there were two john maddrell both marrying margarets of rushen on the same date?!

these are from the IOM marriage index. do you think they could have been badly transcribed?

thanks
Amanda
