HI,
My g-g-grandparents, Thomas gale and Mary Wilson married at Braddan on 14 May 1870. Their fathers were Thomas Gale, a Plasterer, and Thomas Wilson, a horse shoer.
The marriage certificate shows them both of full age. They both lived in Frederick St when they were married.
Thomas Gale is buried in Braddan New Cemetery, aged 72 in 1923. The problem is that the 1881 census gives him a different age, and born in St Marks. (Unfortunately I haven't the details at hand.) Using the IGI I cannot find someone who matches the dates, other than about 5 years too soon.
Would it be possible for someone to look up the 1871 census entries for Frederick St, Douglas for me please?
Thomas Gale and Mary Wilson went on to have Catherine Anne in 1871, Thomas Edward 1873, William (my g-grandfather) 1875, Margaret 1878, Stanley 1880 d 1896, Clara and Florrie 1881, Elizabeth 1890 d 1908.
If anyone knows anything about the family, any info gratefully recieved, exchanged.
Regards, Bob
