Re: James Boyde/Catherine Corlett

additional stuff about this family (indented)

Could Catherine Corlett be a daughter of Daniel Corlett and Catherine Quirk, who came to Newburgh, probably 1835?

(marriage: 03 Feb 1807 Kirk Michael IOM igi)

I have not been able to find Daniel and Catherine in the passenger lists, but the list of their children whom I have identified has some gaps in it, which could leave room for Catherine. (I haven't looked at the film for Ballaugh christenings, just the Familysearch site.)

(came to Newburgh in 1835)

Children of Catherine Quirk and Daniel Corlett: baptized at Ballaugh

i. Ann Corlett was baptized December 12, 1811. She married, December 12, 1844, John C. Radcliff.

(6 Radcliff children)

ii. Another child here?

iii. John Corlett was baptized January 8, 1815, and died November 10, 1911, in his 97th year. He married Margaret Corlett. (OR WAS SHE MARGARET COLLISTER?

(The following is taken from Ellan Vannin Magazine 1923-28 which is itself taken from A
History of Mona's Relief Society of 1926.

Mr. John Corlett, at one time one of the most active Manxmen of our city, was born in 1815, and came from the Island in 1836, residing here until his death, on November 10th, 1911. He lived the longest of the original group of sixteen charter members. He was a man of great industry and frugality, and a good example of those homely Manx virtues, Economy and Thrift.)

iv. Daniel K. Corlett was baptized March 23, 1817, and died February 2, 1892. He married Elizabeth Southard. “Daniel K. Corlett was a Cleveland pioneer, coming to the city in 1835 with his brothers John, William, and Philip.”

(elizabeth southard married another corlett & Geo. Bevins before daniel Kirk corlett - she had 1, 2 & 3 children with her various husbands)

v. Another child here?

vi. William K. Corlett was born in 1821, and died April 6, 1907. He married, in 1848, Mary Ann Raburn.

(igi has 06 Jul 1819 - obt has 1821 - imm 1837 THE HISTORY OF THE, MONA'S RELIEF SOCIETY, CLEVELAND, U.S.A.
Mr. William K. Corlett was a very active member during the early years of the Society. He was president for two terms, and often was called upon to give the principal address at the annual festivals. He came to Cleveland in 1837, and by his upright life he gained the respect of the citizens of this city. His death occurred on April 6th, 1907, after being interested in the Society nearly 56 years. - 6 children - 5 grandchildren)

v. ?Philip Corlett was born about 1821-2 or later

(1 child)

The list of Women in the Western Reserve who were in Ohio by 1850 gives Catherine as coming to Warrensville in 1845, but she could have come to the US earlier than that, and possibly with her parents.

I have not positively identified Daniel Corlett in the 1840 census. Supposedly he died in 1846.

Catherine Quirk Corlett is in the 1850 Warrensville census with her daughter Ann Radcliff.

I haven't yet found Catherine in the 1860 census.

(well done - good information - have much more on this family but none of your "gap" children - regards, Tim)
