Re: Nelson Family info prior to 1760

Hello Catherine

The IGI has the marriage September 2, 1760, Daniel from the parish of Maughold, and looks like Ramsey is also noted (hard to read between) and Elizabeth is noted as Mrs Elizabeth Christian. But strangely noted Consent of Elizabeth's parents)
Children found and baptised
1761 Isabella Bride
1763 Jane Bride
1777 Cath Bride
1779 Daniel Douglas March 24
1779 John Bride August 29
Jane is shown as the daughter of Rev. Daniel Nelson and Elizabeth Christian.
Daniel is shown as the son of Daniel Nelson, Clerk and Elizabeth Christian.
Big gap from 1763 to 1777.
Best guess for Daniel is :
Ch. September 18, 1737, Kirk Rushen to John Nelson and Isabel Cal(l)ister. ( Children John and Isabella !!)
If Elizabeth was Mrs, looked for a marriage just before 1760 to a surname Christian and first name Elizabeth, and found :
Marriage May 8, 1759, Kirk Patrick of William Christian (Of Rushen) to Elizabeth Fargher of Patrick, then deaths :
William Christian Jnr Nov 25, 1759 Santon
Captain William Christian May 15, 1760, Maughold.
Possible birth of Elizabeth
Jan 20, 1744, to Henry Fargher and Jane McBride, Kirk German.
Thought that was pretty sure, but forgot to see if Wm Christian and Elizabeth Fargher had children, and they did Thomas 1764, Jane 1765 and William 1772. But are they another family ?
Will keep looking.
Cheers
