Hi Liz - many thanks for the offer; anything you can find would be appreciated.
Thomas, the son of Thomas and Mary (Shimmin?), was born in 1802 in Douglas. He was a joiner until his death in 1872 at the House of Industry in Douglas.
He married an Elizabeth Cannell, who was also born in 1802 in Douglas.
They had 9 children; my main interest is Hannah, my gt gt grandmother, who was born 10 Oct 1839 in Douglas.

Once again many thanks for the offer. If I can reciprocate in any way let me know as I am a subscriber to Ancestry.Com.
