I would love to know the connection between Issable and Finlo. It is so frustrating when no relationship is given......!!
I have found the following from Frances Coakley's site.
Archd will 1689 #18 Marown, of Christian Cretney als Fargher: died 20 Dec 1689: husb Oates Cretney; son William Cretney; dau Jane Cretney; 3 children Phinlo & John & Jane Cretney exec (all underage)
Also from IGI
Finlo Cretney bp 29 March 1684 Marown s/o Oates Cretney
Finlo Cretney married Ann Corrin 20 June 1713 Rushen
At this point I don't have a Qualtrough husband for Issable Qualtrough (Shirlogue) so am most interested why Finlo is so important to her in her will.....
Any advice, family connections, suggestions most welcome.
Thank you
