Re: GELLING of Lonan (#3 Jane)
In Response To: GELLING of Lonan ()

This is the 3rd of 4 reports on the children of John GELLING and Margaret als SCARFF of Lonan. Unfortunately, I didn't think to put a better identifier on the Subject heading until now. Many thanks to Viv Ward for giving me a great head start on this particular line, which was the weakest for me previously.

Jane GELLING, bp 12 Aug 1804 , was the third child (of 4) of John and Margaret GELLING als SCARFF of Lonan. She married Thomas SCARFF 6 May 1826 Shoemaker at Lonan. Thomas was bp 9 Jun 1799 Lonan, son of Philip SCARFF and Jane als HOGG.

Thomas and Jane lived at Barroose in Lonan. They had 9 children. Thomas was buried 20 Dec 1867 age 68 and Jane was buried 17 Feb 1872 age 67 in Lonan Churchyard.

Their children are: (birthdates are from Viv Ward and were taken from a family Bible)

1. James b 25 Feb 1827, alive in 1872. He was 14 living with his parents in 1841 but by 1851 he was a Shoemaker in Liverpool. He married Sarah METCALFE in 1853 and they had 9 children up to 1870. In 1861 and 1871 they are on Holly St in Liverpool. After the 1871 census, this family "disappears". He is mentioned in his mother's 1872 will. Perhaps they emigrated?

5. Margaret b 6 Sep 1835. I have a potential burial of 25 Jul 1926 age 90 at Lonan but it needs to be confirmed. She married James KEWLEY (b 1844 son of Matthias KEWLEY and Margaret als CALLISTER), a labourer, 28 Nov 1863 at Braddan. They had 4 children:
