Could someone please help me with a Kermeen question and possibly an early census look-up.
Ann Jane Kermeen born abt 1840 married James Gawne in 1860.
They appear in the 1861 census in Lezayre
Glenoldin 1861
Ann Gawn abt 1840 Kk Bride Wife Lezayre Isle of Man
James Gawn abt 1836 Kk Bride Head Lezayre Isle of Man Farm Labourer
Soon after they had a daughter Ann Gawne chr 7 Jul 1861 Lezayre and Ann Jane Kermeen died subsequently, buried 14 Jul 1861 Lezayre.
In 1871 Ann Gawne is with her grandmother Elizabeth Kermeen in Andreas (James possibly remarried to Ann Garrett).
Ballagawe 1871
Annie Gawne abt 1862 Lezayre, Isle of Man, Isle of Man Granddaughter Andreas Isle of Man
Elizabeth Kermeen abt 1810 Kirk German, Isle of Man, Isle of Man Head Andreas Isle of Man widow Farm Labourer
Robert Kermeen abt 1851 Kirk Andreas, Isle of Man, Isle of Man Son Andreas Isle of Man Farm Labourer
Going by the presence of son Robert this would appear to be Elizabeth Harrison, widow of Joseph Kermeen and in 1861 this looks to be her family (Joseph died in 1857 age 47)although her birthplace is given as Arbory?
Ballasair 1861
Elizabeth Kermeen abt 1810 Arbory, Isle of Man, Isle of Man Head Andreas Isle of Man Widow Employed in farm Work Ag lab
Jane Kermeen abt 1853 Andreas, Isle of Man, Isle of Man Daughter Andreas Isle of Man
John Kermeen abt 1834 Lezayre, Isle of Man, Isle of Man Son Andreas Isle of Man Stone Mason or Waller
Margaret Kermeen abt 1847 Maughold, Isle of Man, Isle of Man Daughter Andreas Isle of Man
This is based on the presence of Margaret & John, children of Joseph & Elizabeth according to the IGI (in 1861 Robert is working as a servant on the farm of Charles Cowle in Andreas).
The problem is that there is no Ann Jane Kermeen recorded for Joseph K. and Elizabeth Harrison (married in Rushen 1832, this fits with Elizabeth Harrison born Arbory for which there are possible candidates) but there is one chr 28 Apr 1839 Bride to Jas (James?)Kermeen and Elizabeth Quine (no marriage found ).
Are there two different Ann Gawnes born 1861 in Lezayre, both with Kermeen mothers, or is there some other explanation. I am hoping someone with Kermeen knowledge can help.
Thanks ...Jane
