Hi David,

Reg wrote that he was looking for Cecil Christian B 1895 Patrick, who in the 1901 census was living with his mother Margaret Christian in Castletown Road, Foxdale with siblings Maggie, Lottie and Rubie.

Your Cecil Arnold Christian born 7 Feb 1895 Malew whose mother died July 1895, and father in May 1895, son of CHRISTIAN, William Joseph & CORRIN, Susanna [BL index] was a different person if Reg's census details are correct for his ancestor.

I can't see your Cecil Arnold Christian in IOM censuses after their parents' deaths.

By the way, I hope you are giving transcripts of those wills you have to Ian to go on Brian Lawson's database? Brian always said that all he expected in return for the use of his various burials/wills/births etc. indexes was that people send transcripts of the wills they find. lawsonsiom.freevar.com/
