Hi Jean,

Good to hear from you again!

Thanks for the posts on Eleanor Cannel. The source of the information may be felt to be unreliable but it gives me a pointer in a useful direction. Back to Elinor Hingley in fact. Unfortunately Elinor Hingley's daughter with Robert Cannel, Elinor Cannel, can't be the wife of John Collister as it looks as though she died in infancy. I'll copy the register entries below in case anyone can see an error, or in case there's something there of use to someone else.

I'm now looking at an Eleanor Cannel d/o Charles Cannel & (another) Anne Bridson c.20 Aug 1775 Rushen. A good date but it would be neater if it wasn't Rushen.
