Hello Again Christopher
I have found a baptism for a Thomas Looney in 1798. Of course he was not necessarily the ancestor who you are looking for!
Anyway here are the details:-
He was baptised @ St. Marks I.O.M. on Feb. 18th 1798 . He was the son of Thomas Looney & Jane Cottier who married on April 7th 1793 at Santon I.O.M. I think that Thomas had the following siblings:-
Jane bap. Feb 9th 1794 @ Santon;
Elizabeth bap. Mar. 16th 1796 @ Santon;
Ann bap. Aug 3rd 1800 @ Malew I.O.M.;
Robert bap. Dec. 29th 1803 @ Santon;
William bap. Mar. 22nd 1807 @ Santon;
& John bap. Nov. 18th 1810 @ Malew. I found that I had pencilled in this Thomas b. 1798 as possibly being the future husband of Betsey Eilbeck. I must have done that many years ago!
Hope that this is of some assistance to you.
