I am trying to research Elizabeth Cowley, born 1820, married Thomas Corlett in Maughold 1839, died in Manchester 1874.
She always gave her birth place in census returns as Andreas, but there is no record of her birth in Andreas. Either she was baptised under a different name or she went to live in Andreas soon after her birth.
There are two entries for Elizabeth Cowley in 1820:
1) 25.6.1820 born to Thomas Cowley and Catherine, nee Quayle, in Marown OR
2) 24.9.1820 born to John Cowley and Mary, nee Callister, in Kirk Michael.

I would love it to be 24.9.1820, as my son was born exactly 150 years later!

If you have researched either of these families and they moved to Andreas in the 1820's, please let me know. Incidentally, each couple married in 1812.
