Liz - Thank you so very much. This is fantastic. I couldn't find anything prior to the 1861 census. The Castletown connection sounds right as it seems to be there that her and Edward met. Edward was a P.C. in Castletown before he became a warder at Castle Rushen Gaol where Elizabeth was also a warder. I'll try to find out more now. Thank you again. Shirley.
