Re: searching for Corkish/keig historyy

Henry has caused me problems for many years, though I must say I have not looked at him for a while.

There are two possibilities for Henry born ca 1817:
1. married Elizabeth Kissack in 1839 at Bride
2. married Catherine Keig in 1862 at Rushen.

For a long time I thought they were the same person but when I completed the 1861 index I found them both listed.
I have not found both of them in any other census.

I now believe the "southern" Henry to be the son of Christopher Corkish and Esther Shimmin, born ca 1818.
Although their eight other children were baptized at Rushen, I have not found a baptism for Henry.

Maybe we should continue this discussion off the board - brian@lawsons.ca or 604-467-7984
