Frances, have now read the article about Isabel Lowey born 1732. Fascinating & upsetting for the young girl. Before my recent visit to IOM I had made notes . Possible parents of Mary Cashin who md Thomas Moore - William Cashin /Isabel Lowey . Md May 1746 in Rushen & I found 3 chn , namely Mary b 1761, Eleanor b 1758 & John 1754 , all Rushen. I also jotted down Isabel ? c 1732 died March 1786 who md Henry Lowey 1760/3. This, from reading mnb, is the Isabel mentioned. Time ran out on the IOM so I could not delve deeper to verify any parentage. I really need to find out now if this Isabel & the Loweys & Cashins are my ancestors from my father's Moore branch. It was all my maternal side that came from Arbory, Malew & Rushen. This is completely new to me that even my paternal side came from the south of the island for several generations. Thanks - your knowledge is abundant.
