Re: Nicholas KINNISH / CORTEEN / CLAGUE
In Response To: Re: Message for Marg & Averil ()

I did some research into Nicholas Kinnish of Lonan who had a son Nicholas (see his will http://www3.telus.net/lawson/twill/1734_004.html), when researching the Corteen family of Maughold who were connected to this Kinnish/Kennish family who were earlier in Braddan/Douglas.

See Nicholas's father's will: http://www3.telus.net/lawson/twill/1737_016.html which mentions both his Corteen grandchildren and his Kinnish grandchildren - Nicholas's children in Lonan.

John KINNISH & Alice CRAINE children:
?1. William bapt. Braddan 12 March 1682 “Wm Kenish son of Jo: de Duglas” [of the Corony, Maughold, married Else (Alice) Creer]. Alice Creer's sister Ellin CREER married Wm CLUAGE (Clauge) 10 Nov.1685 Braddan.
http://www3.telus.net/lawson/twill/1700_015.html. Note that her daughter Esther was married to a Nicholas Kinnish.
The two Creer sisters were named as next of kin supervisors (with their husbands also named) when their sister Ann Cannell als Creer died in 1698.
[What would we do without these wills and decrees to make the connections, especially when they were moving between three parishes!]

2. Ellin/Elinor b.c.1683 marr. Thomas CLAUGE Braddan 4 July 1710. Braddan reg. burial "Elinor Clague als --- of Ballagaree aged near 90 Feb 13 1773". Decree Ellinor Clague als Kenish 1773 Braddan LDS 106392 - 4 children: Philip, Thomas (of Ballayearey), Isabel (husband Robt Lewn), & Esther (husband Wm Cowley).

? 3. Jo bapt. Braddan 21 Sept.1684 “Jo Kenish son to Jo (De Duglas); infant buried 3 Dec 1684.

4. Ann bapt.19 Mar.1685/6 “Ann Kenish Daur to Jo:” married Robt CORTEEN (de KK Maughold) 6 July 1703, bur.8 Ap.1748 Maughold. Their eldest son married William & Alice (Creer) Kinnish's daughter: "Articles of marriage Concluded Condescended and agreed upon by and betwixt Robt Corteen and Anne his wife of Ballneshilleage in Kk Maughold parrish for and in behalfe of their Eldest son & Heyr Thomas Corteen on the one parte. And William Kenish & Else his wife of the Corraney in ye sayd parrish for and in behalfe of their Daughter Ann Kenish on the other parte as followeth....." 12 Oct.1731.

5. Nicholas bapt.16 Jan.1694/5 “Nicholas son of Jo : Kinish” married Christian Tear 28 April 1724 Malew (she marr. [2] John Kewley 1735 Lonan). The Maughold will of John Kenish who d. 3 March 1736 mentions his two grandchildren in Balldoon “Nicclas” (Nich s/o Nich b.26 May 1729 Lonan) and “Margt” (Margt d/o Nich b.29 Sep.1732 Lonan). The Lonan will of Alice Kinnish als Crain of KK Lonan d.14 May 1726 mentions her dau-in-law Christian Kinnish als Tear.

This might be too early to help?
