Re: Christening Robert Cowell Bride1841

Right...Catherine Jane was my great grandmother, 'Big Granny', I can remember her well.
No one in the family knows who was the father of Robert Stephen. She never said.
My grandmother, Edith Annie, lived with her Cowell grandparents at Ballaragh until she was old enough to go to school, aged 7, in Douglas.

Yes, I used to live at the Half-Way, and get on the school bus there.
How do you fit into this line?
Are you descended from Robert Stephen's first wife, I think they had a daughter, Lily. (Without checking my files!)
Complicated family, as later in life, he married Alice Kelly...her brother was married to his sister! They did not have children

I believe he is buried in Braddan cemetry, near the new hospital....I suspect he is in the same grave as the elusive Robert Kelly, who I've been researching for years. (His second wife's father).
Good to hear form you.
