Thank you so much for looking it up, Mary, and so quickly!

But both from Douglas looks unlikely to be the Bride couple - what a pity.

Looking again at the IGI there was an extracted marriage between THOMAS GOLDSMITH & ELLINOR SKILLICORN on 10 SEP 1831 Bride. If this is the right couple they must have been married for 22 years before their only child was born!

If this is correct, the IGI has 3 Lonan bapts for Ellinor Skillicorns 1809-11 which are the same as her ages given in records, plus two more 1814/15, so it might be difficult to find out which one married Thomas unless she was underage at the 1831 Bride marriage which would give one clue.

Having written that I remembered Lois Ralph's wonderful Skillicorn research in Lonan, and looked up her index to deaths & wills, and found Ellinor wife of Thomas Goldsmith mentioned twice.

Her husband Philip died in Douglas in 1858 where he was a Master Mariner. Lois has his will which names "Son James, daus Elinor(Thos Goldsmith), Jane (James Kissic), Margt (Norris Kelly), Ann (James Corrin), Elizabeth, wife Margaret Skillicorn als Oates".
[He married Margaret Oates 4 Oct.1848 Braddan.]

I can't see daughter Ellinor's baptism, but she does look like a possibility to be the one Gillian is looking for.
