In Response To: Re: GAWNE:CRELLIN:KNEEN ()

Thank you. Yes, Edwin William Gawne was the son of Edwin Gawne & Ann Kneen. I had wondered where he had got to in 1891 (where it does confirm his identity by stating that he was an Ironmonger).
In 1901 he was back on the Isle of Man in Onchan, aged 37, Ironmonger.
There is a marriage on Brian Lawson's site for Edwin William Gawne, 1908, Douglas but no spouse's name is given.

Richard Murray Gawne, BA, Oxon. was the son of Edward Moore Gawne of Rushen. He was a curate, then rector, in Reymerston, Norfolk between 1874 and 1899. He married Constance Catherine Edwards of Hardingham, Norfolk in 1884 (I can't find her in 1891 but it doesn't say that Richard was a widower at that time).
Emily May Mona Murray Gawne, born India, is the daughter of his brother Lieutenant Edward Gawne (1836-1869) and Mary Hodgson (who was also born in India where they married in 1858). He served in the Crimea and India in the 79th Cameron Highlanders and was a tea planter in India (1865). Ill health forced him to retire and he returned to the island where he died at Pulrose, Braddan in 1869 (the Pulrose estate being inherited from his grandmother Catherine Moore of Pulrose, Edward being Edward Moore Gawne's oldest son).

Thanks again, Jane
