Re: Looney / Camaish
In Response To: Re: Looney / Camaish ()

The 1851 census in Lonan has:-

Archibald Looney 34 Mine Labourer, Maughold
Ann 31 Andreas
William 12 son Andreas
Esther 8 Daugh. Andreas
Elizabeth 5 Daugh. Lezayre
Edward 6M son Lezayre

A Matthias Camaish married an Esther Garrett Nov.20 1798. What if Elizabeth and Esther are the same person ? Ann fits in the chronological order of the children.

One child John 1801 appears to be still around in Andreas in 1851 but some of the others may have changed their name to Comish- as they do-.

An Archibald Kneale was christened to Christopher Kneale and an Elizabeth Jan 11 1818 in Maughold yet an Elizabeth Kneale married a Christopher Looney in Aug 17 1814. What if they got it wrong? Again, he seems to fit in with other children.
