Hello Averil,
If Daniel had the three marriages which Bob recorded, his first children were born from 1815 onwards, and which is why I thought he must be Daniel son of John Looney & Margaret Hutchen, bapt. 21 Jun 1789. - The only one who appeared to be the right age for the marriage to Ann Cowin.
John Looney had a brother Daniel.
Constance Radcliffe wrote that all the Maughold Looney Jack/Yack families descended from the same ancestor.
How did you go with the wills?
