uayle and Catherine Gawne
In Response To: Elizabeth Quayle, Kirk Michael ()

The 1851 census for Michael shows:=

Thomas Quayle 67 farmer Michael
Eleanor 62 wife
William 33 son
Thomas 31 son
Ann 29 dau
John 26 son
Catherine 21 dau
Jane 14 dau
Elizabeth 11 dau

Elizabeth and possibly Jane seem rather young to be the children of Eleanor and why call another child the same name as the one christened in 1810.

I suspect Elizabeth ,1810, died earlier than 1851 and one shows up in Brian Lawson's burial index in 1844. This Elizabeth listed could be the grandchild.

The same census shows :-

Catherine Quayle widow 73 Bride
John son 32 Blacksmith Michael unmarried
Jane dau 26 unmarried

John appears to be the son of William Quayle
and Catherine Gawne.
