Re: John Callister / Ann Grimshaw

I suspect there are two John Collister + Ann families with a son Humphrey - the 1851 above farmer 45ac is at Ballasalla (the one in Jurby!) down as a shoemaker in 1841 with a son Humphrey of age 11 so all fits - his wife is the ann Grimshaw (several IGI patron submissions re this family) - this Humphrey appears to have d 1861 in Braddan but some his children emigrated to Canada
- the John age 40 in 1841 at ballaconelly appears to have children by Eliza Mylchreest (tho I can't match all bapts but I havn't yet looked at the Jurby bapts for this period) this John would match the Wesleyan preacher d age 44 in the MI
There is a burial for an Elizabeth Callister age 32 bur Jurby 18381203 obit in puerpera [childbirth] so possibly Ann in the household is a sister ? coping with young children
This Elizabeth would match Eliza Mylchreest bapt Malew 18060621 c/o John Mylchreest + Eliza Stephen who married at Jurby 18050530 so possibly the correct match
