Re: Edward Gelling, master b.1785 d.1848

Dear Edward,
I do not know very much about Esther Gelling Craine except that she was married to my ancestor Thomas Craine who was a master of navigation in instruction and teaching. He was from the Douglas area and they had Mary Ann, Ann, Jane, Thomas, John all from 1799-1807 in Ballaugh according to Donna Douglass who sent me this interesting information. They moved to The USA in 1842.
I know that Thomas' father Commander Thomas Craine who served Edward Gelling (1776-1851) according to the Manx Worthies 1901. I didn't know if Edward was any relation to Esther or not. Commander Thomas was married to Mary Ann Cowle.
Please let me know if she is in your line or maybe someone else on the Isle. Thank you Jan
