Hello Pam,

Sorry that I don't have anything on James Kerruish other than being born
about 1856 in Maughhold, Isle of Man. I don't know who his siblings or
parents are though I am sure that Kate would be working on that information.
I am amazed at how small the world is and information and people once lost
can be found again. So I am sure you will find information on your
Great-Grandfather. A pretty good bet that James and John William are
brothers.

Good luck in your searching.

Arlene
