Hi John,

Thank you for your response.

This thread really runs in conjunction with my earlier thread "Teare and Cunliffe" started on the 6th November.

In that I mention the Teare sisters Emma and Lillian, who I had always assumed to be part of my ancestral family, until a few weeks ago when my cousin in Canada said she thought they were not.

Lewis Victor Crellin, b 1901 in Foxdale, featured a lot in my childhood and later visits to Peel, and when, in searching for Lillian (Lily) Teare in the 1911 Census, finding Lewis aged 9 living with the Teares in Foxdale explains a lot. It would seem that his father died in 1902,
From another source I have, I know Lewis was brought up by his grandparents in Ballanass, Foxdale.

This of course still leaves questions.....

Who was Lewis V Crellin's mother?

Are the Teares in Foxdale related to my great grandmother Ellen Teare from Bride?

And of course, Lewis V Crellin's daughter, who I met in Foxdale - I know she married and moved to Douglas - but I thought she would be a good point of contact to answer my questions.

And as a "Teare", where do you fit in?
