Hi Tony,

Still looking at Elinor Christian who married William Corkill in 1802, and her possible parents, all Maughold:
Ellinor daur of William Christian & Dorothy Wattleworth 17 Mar 1773.
Ellinor d/o William Christian/Ellinor Christian 28 Sep 1774.
Ellinor d/o John Christian/Joney Kerruish 21 Jun 1783.

These are the children of William Christian & Elinor Christian who probably married in 1750 "William __ / Ellinor Christian 27 Oct 1750" (his surname illegible in reg.)
The children:
CHRISTIAN Cath [daur of] William Christian/ Elinor [bapt] Parish Church 15 Oct 1753
CHRISTIAN Catherine William Christian/ Elinor Parish Church 1 Jan 1756
CHRISTIAN Isabel William Christian/ Elinor Christian Parish Church 25 Mar 1758
Balterson
CHRISTIAN William William Christian/ Elinor Christian Parish Church 20 Aug 1760
Balterson
CHRISTIAN John William Christian/ Elinor Christian Parish Church 12 Oct 1762
CHRISTIAN Thomas William Christian/ Elinor Christian Parish Church 30 Dec 1763
CHRISTIAN Robert William Christian/ Elinor Christian Parish Church 29 Sep 1765
CHRISTIAN Robert William Christian/ Elinor Christian Parish Church 28 Oct 1767
CHRISTIAN Jane William Christian/ Ellinor Christian Parish Church 6 Apr 1770
Private baptism
CHRISTIAN Ellinor William Christian/ Ellinor Christian Parish Church 28 Sep 1774
Private baptism

- And William Christian's will:

The children's names are the same as the ones baptised, and some of the bapts have the same placename (Ballaterson) as in the will.

Unfortunately, like the Wattleworth one, this is before William Corkill & Elinor Christian married in 1802 and before Robert was born, so we don't yet know whether or not it is Elinor's family.

The Radcliffe book about Maughold says that this Elinor came from Ballure, Maughold, another well-known family.
