Re: Mysterious Joughins of Jurby

In 1841 at Begaby Adreas there is a Daniel 11 and a John Joughin 16 (both transcribed as Jenghin) with a John Halsal 65 farmer and Cathrine 45.
By their ages they could be the sons of William Joughin and Catherine Crennell.
A John Halsal married a Catherine Joughin in Bride on August 3 1837. She is probably Daniel's mother. In 1851 she is 57, widowed, a freeholder of 12 acres and living in Bride with John 26.
However there is no trace of Daniel in 1851.
He is back in 1861 widowed living with his son William, mother and brother in Ramsey and is a grocer.
It seems that he married Sophia Kelly on January 8 1857. She was buried age 27 in Maughold on December 22 1860.
