John,

I am revisiting some of my old files and found this post. I have a dispute with the date of William's birth in my database of Kaighins. You say he was born 26 Apr 1793. I have the father of Anne, married to Anne Corlette as being born 7 July 1793. He was the son of Thomas Kaighin and Eleanor Moughtin. The date you give for his birth is William Kaighin, son of John Kaighin and Margaret Christian, also of Jurby. The only source I have for this connection is the Archibald Bennett manuscript, "The Kaighin family of K. Michael and K. German, IOM" and I have found several errors already in his research, so I'd like to see your source for comparison. Thank you.
