Hi,

I have very little information on my great grandmother except that her maiden name was Olive Kermode, born July 14, 1861 in Lonan, IOM. She married Ambrose Joseph Qualtrough and had one child, my grandmother Margaret Olive. Ambrose Joseph died at sea in the United States Navy when Margaret was about 2 (Olive, I believe, still lived in IOM since her daughter didn't emigrate to the United States until she was a young woman). At some point Olive remarried someone named Hudgeon and ended up in Wisconsin, USA, possibly the Dodgeville area.

From the IGI, it appears Olive was the daughter of John Kermode and Margaret Kneale and had eight siblings: Margaret Isabelle, Eliza Anne, Frances Jane, Nessy, Eleanor, John Kneale, William Thomas and Sarah Ellen, all born Lonan. I have no information on these siblings. I believe John Kermode and Margaret Kneale were married Oct 5, 1854 in Lonan and that John was born April 3, 1831 to Thomas Kermode and ?

If anyone has any insights they can offer into my grandmother's ancestry, siblings etc. I'd appreciate it!

Meg
