Hi Paul,
Thanks for your info.
I have been able to trace my John Christian from His birth in Rushen (1820/1) to his death in Liverpool in 1902. I even have a photo of him. More difficult has been identifying the Samuel Ingram whom his daughter, Agnes, married in Liverpool in 1870.
Good luck with your John Christian. It will be difficult as, on average, there were six christened each year on the IOM.
Regards,
Bruce
