I've started a new thread on this in hope that it is possible to sort the wheat from the chaff. - Think it proves that the Patrick in Carolina in 18th Century is not son of the adam who had twins;

In 1706 Lib Assed has under Oristall in Michael
Oristall

Pat Cannell 29s 6d

John Stephen 7s 6d, Ellen Stephen & Adam Caine her husbd 7s 6d, Ad Callister 15s 30s

Hu Callister 31s 4d

Sum £6 4d
Oristall is on the coastal side a little north of Bishops Court - the Michael parish boundary does a sudden northwards shift to include Orista (or Orrisdale) - it may well be nearer to Old Ballaugh chuch than Kk Michael
It is the 2nd line and in particular the 15s (double rent) farm split between John Stephen (father of Ellen as confirmed by Lib Vast) who was buried 25 Dec 1717 (incorrectly indexed as Bo Stephen).
Ellen and her husband are entered in this way as the property passed to the Caines by marriage - Adam Caine + ellinr Stoen (or stephen) were marr Michael 16960804
Their family was I think:
Margt Mic 16981106
Cath Mic 17010515
Jony Mic 17020220
John Mic 17040227
Kath Bal 17061105 - buried Micahel 17131124 d/o adam + elinr stoen
Margt Bal 17091114
Mary Mic 17100204 (note O/S dates 14months apart - Margt probably died as infant)
Philip Bal 17120717 twins ac ye gill patk ye younger bapt in the house + philip ye elder in ye church [bur sp bal 17131213]
Patrick Bal 17120717
Elinor Mic 17130325

The Michael reg pre 1712 is a copy of a much damaged earlier register and has several gaps - one has note severall names omitted being not legible of ye yong childr
(as a side note the IoMFHSoc transcription is also questionable - the extant register is much worn - a better reading was given for many by the 1911 official transcription - the IGI for Michael especially pre 1700 can be summed up by SNAFU)

John as the eldest male would be heir - however he died before his father

Thus Patrick inherited the farm and can be found entered for it
