- But there is a John Corkil aged 51 (could he be 59?) with mother Christian Corkil widow aged 81, and wife Elinor in the 1851 census, a farmer of 6 acres at Ballasloe. Wife Elinor's age is given as 60, so it seems strange that he would take several years off his own age - but it could be a faded "9".
His children in 1851 fit the ones I gave for the couple before in a message under "Edward Corkill", minus the twins and the eldest children. John 24 Ag Lab, James 18 Ag Lab, & Daniel 16 Joiners Apprentice, all b.Maughold.

This is the John d 1879 "of the Curragh" His wife Ellinor d 1861 BALLASLOE
