Hi Jenny,

I'm writing this here on your previous thread, rather than starting another one, so that people don't look up the same information which you got here before.

I have Maughold records, but not Bride where she was living, so I can't check for the unborn child. For Margaret herself at least we have a sister's name, and possible brother William as supervisor.

You wrote:
"...her sister Cathrine Christian, the witnesses & executive of her will are William Christian & John Bridson, the executive of guardian & supervision of the under age children are
William Christian and John Kneale of Bride".

If we can assume that Margaret was from Maughold or Ramsey, because at marriage her husband was recorded as being from German, whereas she wasn't recorded as being from elsewhere, these are the Maughold Margarets of a possible age to be married in 1809, with siblings:

CHRISTIAN Margaret Thomas Christian/ Margaret Quayle Parish Church 24 Jun 1787
CHRISTIAN Thomas Thomas Christian/ Margaret Quayle Parish Church 27 Sep 1788. Private baptism
CHRISTIAN Joseph Thomas Christian/ Margaret Quayle Parish Church 24 Jan 1790
CHRISTIAN Alice Thomas Christian/ Margaret Quayle Parish Church 20 Sep 1791. Private baptism
CHRISTIAN Mary Thomas Christian/ Margaret Quayle Parish Church 4 Mar 1793. Private baptism

CHRISTIAN Margaret William Christian/ Margaret Kerruish Parish Church 27 Feb 1791. Private baptism
CHRISTIAN Edward William Christian/ Margaret Kerruish Parish Church 17 Dec 1792. Private baptism
CHRISTIAN William William Christian/ Margaret Kerruish Parish Church 21 Jan 1794. Private baptism
CHRISTIAN John William Christian/ Margaret Kerruish Parish Church 25 Dec 1796
CHRISTIAN Robert William Christian/ Margaret Kerruish Parish Church 15 Sep 1799
CHRISTIAN Thomas William Christian/ Margaret Kerruish Parish Church 12 Mar 1802
CHRISTIAN Ann William Christian/ Margaret Kerruish Parish Church 21 Dec 1806

Then there are several Ramsey Margarets, but only two on the IGI with a sister Cath. One is Margaret bapt 14 March 1784 Ramsey daughter of David CHRISTIAN & Margaret SHIMMIN - but this family has lots of children and no William that I can see. Why wouldn't one of these many siblings be supervisor if the right family?

The last find seems to be the best one, on the little information we have - the children of William Christian & Margaret Cowle. Margaret bapt 17 SEP 1786 Ramsey. Cath bapt 12 DEC 1781 Bride (eldest child). William bapt 2 FEB 1785 Maughold (eldest son).
Maughold register has: William son of William Christian & Margaret Cowle Parish Church 2 Feb 1785. Rec in Church. Had been privately bapt by Thos Corlett, Lezayre.

There are 3 other children bapt Ramsey - see IGI. Parents married 03 JAN 1781 Bride [IGI].
The supervisor could be either her father William, or eldest brother William.

This is pure guesswork - please don't assume it is right. You need to do a lot more checking with par regs, other possible family wills, etc.
