If anyone is interested...
My great grandmother is Alma Lucille (Craine) Hoffman. (1905-2004) To the best of my knowledge she is decended somehow from James and Isabell Craine who resided in Ballaugh, IOM. I have electronic copies of some letters passed between James & family, which actually came to me as a fluke becuase my mother who is the geneologist of the family couldn't open the .zip files. I could not say for certain where these originated from.
Angus Cowle is mentioned in a letter from January 1852 (written by James Craine to family- I left it in original format/spelling)
"Angus Cowle and Corlett Reach to Ballaugh on the 17th of January. They left Ohio on the six of Nov. They had a very Ruff Pafsage They were oblige to turn Back when 3 weeks at sea."
Many other names, events are mentioned & I am still looking for threads they might apply to. Please email me with any questions. Hope someone finds this interesting.
