For some time I have been attempting to link the Qualtroughs of Lonan/Lezayre with those of Rushen, Arbory & Malew. I have made a bit of headway, but seek assistance with the following.
I have a will of a Catherine Waterson als Qualtrough, (w/o John Waterson) who died in Rushen in 1704:
KK Christ Rushen
1704
The last Will & Testament of Catherine Waterson …

While the names in general are of interest, the part that is relevant to this query is:
Itm. She left all her Interests
& tytle to what Land is due to her in KK Lonnan to her
husband John Waterson if he can recovr ye same.
From research done by Nigel Crowe of Qs in Lonan and Lezayre, I have not found a "stray" Catherine Qualtrough from the Lonan line and am wondering who she is....
I have acquired information from a couple of sources of a "Katherine or Kate", poss sister of Jane who married John Lewn.... (Jane died Lonan 1678), but to date no documented evidence. The sources say this Kate married another Lewn who is/was tied up with the Lewn/Lewins of Balliargey, Onchan.
Is this Catherine Waterson als Qualtrough the one & same person as above Kate ? If not, then how is she tied up with the Lonan Qs?
Help/suggestions appreciated. Thank you.
