Norah Jane Quayle

John Thomas Quayle married Jane Gawne on 3 Dec 1870, Andreas. Jane was the daughter of Thomas Gawne and Catherine Curphey, born Andreas 1848.
In the 1871 census they are living with Jane's parents at Keilthustag, Andreas with their daughter Norah Jane Quayle, christened 22 Jan 1871.
In the 1881 census there is no trace of John or Jane on the island but there is a granddaughter living with Thomas and Catherine, aged 10 years, called Sarah J. Quayle.
It is not certain what happened to John but by October of 1881 Jane had married Charles Forbes Kidd in Lambeth, Surrey. All that can be found of John is that his father was Philip Quayle, labourer and was residing (at least) in Andreas at the time of the marriage .
If anyone knows of John Thomas and Philip Quayle and what happened to John and Norah/ Sarah I would be very interested to hear from them as Jane and Charles Forbes Kidd were my mother's grandparents.
I am very grateful to Rina Curphey who provided me with this and additional information on the Gawnes and Curpheys of Andreas.
