Looking for information about sons of Thomas Cain and Ann Killip, baptized at St. George, Douglas. John Cain was baptized September 30, 1810, and perhaps died before 1813, as he was not mentioned in his father’s will. (His burial has not yet been located.)

Thomas Cain was baptized June 5, 1813. (No further record has been located.)

Thomas Cain, the father of John and Thomas, had married at Lonan, November 16, 1809, Ann Killip, daughter of William Killip and Jane Kewley. Thomas Cain was perhaps the son of James Cain, baptized at Onchan, August 9, 1795, although I haven’t located any proof for this.

Thomas died only four years after his marriage to Ann Killip; record of Thomas Cain’s burial is found in both the Onchan and Braddan parish registers, at Onchan, June 29, 1813. His will was heard at Douglas, July 3, 1813, and does not mention his son John.

“This is affirmed to be the last will and testament of Thomas Cain stone mason of the town of Douglas, deceased, who was weak in body but of sound and disposing mind, memory, and understanding at the making hereof. He commended his soul to the mercy of Almighty God and his body to Christian burial. As to his disposable Effects he left and Bequeathed the same in manner following.
