Thanks Frances
Now that you have clarified the use of the word "Brother" in a will as sometimes the same as "brother in law", at this stage the only direct connection between Margaret Camaish alias Christian & our Callow family is her son in law Daniel Callow married to Mary, Margaret's daughter. I'll look briefly into what you have sent about the Vandy/Vondy connection. My main focus is tracing Daniel Callow, probably son of John Callow & Elizabeth Joughin (both died Bride Feb 1774), back further. Now I know Daniel is not a really a "Camaish" or a "Christian" that makes things much clearer.

As always thanks for your help & I look foward to using your CD of Manx Note Book, which on line has been, as has this Manx message board, so helpful to those of us so far away.
Regards
Shan
