In Response To: Re: corkill great grandfather ()

As you have the birth month for him as June this certainly makes my guess more likely.

These are their children baptised in Maughold, from the parish register:

CORKILL Jane (daur of) Robert Corkill/ Cath Quayle Parish Church 1 Jan 1840
CORKILL Esther Robert Corkill/ Cath Quayle Parish Church 14 Mar 1842
CORKILL Robert Robert Corkill/ Cath Quayle Parish Church 30 Jun 1844
CORKILL Cath Ann Robert Corkill/ Cath Quayle Parish Church 25 Nov 1846
CORKILL Elinor Robert Corkill/ Catharine Quayle Parish Church 28 Aug 1854
CORKILL Edward Robert Corkill/ Catherine Quayle Parish Church 8 Mar 1857
CORKILL Isab Margt Robert Corkill/ Cath Quayle Parish Church 22 Jan 1860

There are others where the mother's name is given as "Cathe" or Catherine without a surname, and who could be from this family. They could be sorted out from the censuses.

Looking at the 1861 census, this looks like John:
CORKILL John Robert Corkill/ Cathe Parish Church 8 Apr 1849
and this looks like Ann:
CORKILL Ann Robert Corkill/ Catherine Parish Church 3 Aug 1851.

There was another couple Robert Corkill & Cathe or Catherine having children baptised at the same time, as well as Robert Corkill and Catherine Corkill, and Robert Corkill and Cath Kermeen.
