Hello Kate,
I'm doing a bit of geneology for a friend who's mother was a Kerruish. Her name was Ida Evelyn Kerruish.
I have her parents as being a James and Elizabeth Kerruish, Elizabeth is listed as maiden name of Tate.
I have Elizabeth as being born June 8, 1856, Isle of Man
I have come across a marriage on the familysearch page for a James Kerruish and Elizabeth Tate as being October 8, 1881 Kirk Michael, Isle of Man
Elizabeth died February 14, 1923 in Nanaimo, B.C. Canada
James I have as being born about 1854 Isle of Man
same marriage as above
and died May 16, 1934 in Nanaimo BC canada
I have mention in James' obituary that he is survived by 3 sons, Harold, Carl and Elisha and one Daughter Ida.
I would gladly send you what I have so far and would welcome any other information you have that I could pass along to my friend.
thanks,
arlene
