Re: Robert Corkell (Corkill or Corkhill ?)

I am not sure what part of the Island he lived on. He lived in the Isle of Mann and did not emigrate. My mother ( who has his photo) says he was married to a " traveller", Kathleen Duffy from Ireland, but any records I have seen say his wife was Anne. The only problem with that is then there is no record of my great grandmother CHRISTINA Corkill,
( Christina Corkill married Thomas Boswell.)
I am thinking that maybe Ann(e) was his second wife or that his first marriage was a "gypsy" marriage? I think that he was a farmer.
