Thank you Frances. This is helpful, but I am still no closer to putting my Cannels together. This is what I have - apologies if not brilliantly formated..
Cannells of Ballawillan (Ballawylln, Ballawillyn)
Property Deeds
the deed SSS May 1776 63 - dated 3 Jan 1771;Thos Kelly(Kk Braddan) + wife Jane als Faile sells for £108 10s to Wm Cannell a parcel of qtrland Ballawillin
(Braddan) rent 6s 2d adj Robt Cannell + Wm Kelly on north, Thos Faile on east, Robt Lewin on southeast, Nicho Faile on south and Wm Kelly on southwest - notes that land that adjoins to Robt Lewin is part of Arderry(Abbey land) of rent 0.5d; Witt Thos Faile x, Robt Kelly

Also at Ballawillan in 1841 Census
1. William (weaver) and Catherine CALLOW
2. John KELLY (farmer) with ?children and grandchildren
3. Thomas CAIN (Tailor) and Isabella CAIN with ?children and ?brother William (Shoemaker)
4. William CANNELL (farmer) 65yrs (abt 1776)
a. Elizabeth CANNELL 35 yrs
b. Jane CANNELL 30 yrs
c. Thomas CANNELL (ag lab) 25 yrs
d. Robert CANNELL (weaver) 23 yrs
e. Philip GALE
(Who is this William? He is the wrong age to be the husband or son of Alice FAYLE)
5. Daniel and Catherine CREER
6. Thomas CANNELL (Ind) 85 yrs
a. Isabella CANNELL 80 yrs
b. Eleanor CANNELL 35 yrs
7. Robert KARRAN and Daniel CAIN
So is the head of the second family in 1851 the son of William (1776) or Thomas (1791) and Isabella (1791)?
I think there are two generations of Thomas CANNELL m Isabel(la) CLAGUE who lived at Ballawillan.

Thomas Cannell,1757--1843 of "Ballawillyn" buried at St Lukes at Baldwin (This looks like the Thomas still at Ballawillan in 1841 living with wife Isabella).
Can anyone add anything to what I have? Does anyone have access to the Braddan MI's? Maybe some of the headstones may shed some light, or at least give me some death dates to know which films to get out to find a will. None of the wills online seem to be this family. I am assuming that if someone has property, then there would either be a will or an intestate document?
