Yes, Carol, it is, at 11 Stanley View, Douglas (now an old people’s home):
William Joughin, head, married, 47, coal merchant, employer, b Andreas
Margaret V Joughin, wife, married, 40, b Onchan
William Joughin, son, single, 18, clerk to coal merchant, employed, b Douglas
Edward C Joughin, son, single, 14, scholar, b Douglas
Jane Joughin, daughter, single, 12, scholar, b Douglas
John Clague Joughin, son, single, 9, b Braddan
Jane Joughin, mother, widow, 71, b Andreas

I was surprised to hear that he emigrated to New Jersey, as I understood him to have been rather delicate, having to be looked after by the family. He died 1934 August 2nd at Ballakinnag, Andreas, which was a Teare farm, belonging to William James Teare, who was married to Edward C’s sister Jane. The death certificate records that he was 58, of no occupation. The informant was his brother, J. C. Joughin, 2 The Parade, H. M. Dockyard, Portsmouth. JCJ later distinguished himself as a naval constructor, in charge of the RN dockyards at Malta during the war. His biography was written and published by his son John under the title Island Fighter. It mentions Edward briefly as follows:
“Edward had been the most gifted of the family but had contracted meningitis which affected his brain so that he had to be looked after by friends on a farm”.

Are you confusing this man with his uncle, Edward Daniel Joughin, b at Andreas 1853, m in the Manchester area 1878 Margaret Jane Moore? His niece (Myra Joughin, Ballakew, Malew) wrote, in 1921, “We have not heard any word from Uncle Ned since he went back to Manchester two years ago. I think he must have gone to America”. This loose end has been outstanding for many years now. It would be good if you were able to continue the story.
