Re: Karrens in Onchan
In Response To: Karrens in Onchan ()

I would be interested in any information you have on Thomas Karren.
You probably have all the information I have:- the "Biography of Thomas Karren" by his daughter Isabelle Karren Thurman (This states he was originally Anglican while his wife, Ann Ratcliffe, was Roman Catholic);
the "Daughters of Utah Pioneers" article which states that Ann Ratcliffe was born on the Isle of Man - however a family group record gives her birth place as Crosby, Lancashire. I have Thomas Karren down as being born 1 May 1810 in Onchan. Parents Thomas Karren and Catherine Clark married 29 July 1809 in Onchan;
"The History of Lehi" which gives a map of the original fort showing the cabin in which he lived.
