When Eleanor (Corlett) Lewin died in 1851 she left behind two minor daughters, Eleanor and Margaret. The probate proceedings named their uncle, Robert Corlett and Phillip Killey as guardians. I'd like to find what connection, if any, Phillip Killey has with the family.

1. HENRY CORLETT was born July 12, 1772 in Kirk German, IOM, and died April 9, 1834 in St George's, Douglas, IOM He married ELINOR CORLETT November 4, 1811 in Ballaugh, daughter of THOMAS CORLETT and ISABELLA CORLETT. Occupation: Sailmaker & Roper of Douglas

ELINOR CORLETT: Christening: May 4, 1787, Ballaugh, Isle of Man

Children of HENRY CORLETT and ELINOR CORLETT are:
2. i. ELINOR CORLETT, b. ABT 1814; d. January 1, 1851, Braddan, IOM.
ii. ELIZABETH CORLETT, b. January 22, 1819, St Matthews, Douglas, IOM; d. 1838.
iii. ISABELLA CORLETT, b. January 24, 1824, St. Matthews, Douglas, Isle of Man
3. iv. THOMAS CORLETT, b. July 21, 1826, Douglas, IOM; d. March 13, 1890, 18 Derby Square, Douglas, Isle of Man.

Generation No. 2

2. ELINOR CORLETT was born ABT 1814, and died January 1, 1851 in Braddan, IOM. She married JOHN LEWIN November 8, 1835 in Braddan, Isle Of Man, son of JOHN LEWIN and CHRISTIAN TEARE.

Children of ELINOR CORLETT and JOHN LEWIN are:
6. i. MARGARET11 LEWIN, b. September 25, 1836, Douglas Saint Matthews; d. Bef. 1901.
7. ii. ELINOR LEWIN, b. November 4, 1838, St. Matthews, Douglas, Isle Of Man; d. Aft. 1901, Lancashire, Moss Side, England.

3. THOMAS CORLETT was born July 21, 1826 in Douglas, IOM, and died March 13, 1890 in 18 Derby Square, Douglas, Isle of Man. He married (1) ELIZABETH CAIN April 30, 1850 in Braddan, Douglas, Isle of Man, daughter of (?) EDWARD CAINE and ELIZABETH CHRISTIAN. He married (2) DOROTHY TATE September 23, 1858 in Lonan Parish Church, Isle of Man, daughter of GODFREY TATE and ANN EVISON.

If the connection came from the Lewin side, here are the possibilities:

1. JOHN1 LEWIN died Aft. 1808. He married CHRISTIAN TEARE December 2, 1800 in Kirk Michael, IOM, daughter of PHILIP TEARE and ELIZABETH HARRISON.

Children of JOHN LEWIN and CHRISTIAN TEARE are:

i. ALICE2 LEWIN, b. October 21, 1801, St Matthews, Douglas, IOM.
2. ii. JOHN LEWIN, b. January 12, 1803, Douglas, Saint Matthews, IOM; d. December 26, 1838, Braddan, IOM.

iii. ELIZABETH LEWIN, b. August 7, 1806, St Matthews, Douglas, IOM.

iv. CHRISTIAN LEWIN, b. October 9, 1808, St Matthews, Douglas, IOM; m. GEORGE GILL, January 1, 1842, Bromley, Kent, England.

Hopefully someone can satisfy my curiosity...
