Re: Cath. Qualtrough Fox Rothmel/Rothwell

Looks as though Byron Fox married twice as I have him marrying Ellin Killey in November 1727 a month before his mother Catherin died. John Rothmell died in 1724. Byron Fox died in 1747. Will have to check for a first marriage.

According to the 1704 Composition Book for Castletown, an Ellin Killey lived next door to the Rothmells..... a convenience marriage for merging property holdings perhaps....

Thanks again Frances.... anything further you come across would be most grateful to hear of. I will send you a copy of the Articles of Marriage between Byron's sister Catherin Fox and Robt Teare, who was a brother of Rev Wm Walker, Rector of Ballaugh (in 1717) and one of the Vicars General of the IOm at the time.
