My husband's family hails from the Isle of Man. His ggggrandfather was Joseph Dobson, born @ 1805 (possibly Malew or Lonan). He married Martha Caine in 1832 at St. Marks. Their children were all born at Lonan: Joseph @1832 who married Ann Jane Hudson in 1858; John @ 1833 who married Ann Clague at Bradden in 1857; Edward @1845 who married Lenora Gelling in 1872; Robert @1848 who married Jane Corkill in 1873.

John and Ann's children were Ann @1860; John @1865; Joseph @1866; Mary Jane @1868; Alice @1870; Thomas @1874; and Edward @1878. All were born at Lonan.

John married Louise Sidwell and they had Douglas John, born March 3, 1891 at 45 Strand Street, Douglas, Isle of Man.

Douglas John married Lily Woodhouse of Dumfries, Scotland. At some point, Douglas & Lily emigrated to Saskatchewan, Canada. They had 3 children: James 1915, Douglas 1920 (my husband's father) and Gladys 1925.

Any information on these families would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
