Dear Mary,

Thanks. What I do know is that Margaret is a Kewley born Lonan 1854, of John Kewley and Eunice Kneale married 26 May 1838 Lonan. Their address was Ballaragh Farmhouse, Kirk Lonan.

I can't seem to find Thomas before 1888, I felt there may have been a clue in Durham being mentioned. I will start to look through the census for him as possibly a lodger in earlier years.

Sue helped me before with the marriage details for Thomas and Margaret:

( Thomas BURNS, Full age, Bachelor, Plasterer, Ramsey, Maughold, [father] Peter Burns, Gardener ~ and ~
Margaret KELLY, Full age, Widow, Ramsey, Maughold, [father] John Kewley, Farmer.)

Do you know if a marriage certificate from 1888 can be purchased? Also would there be more information on place of birth?

Sadly most relatives who may have had any information are dead. That is why I am, as many would be, trying to put together information for the next generation so what we know is not lost.

kind regards Diane
