Hi Donna,

He's listed on Brian's index:

The Thomas Kaighin I am looking for married Catherine Gawne 13 Jul 1819 in Maughold. I don't know when he was born. Thomas and Catherine had the following children:
John, c.20 Jan 1820, Ballaugh, died after the 1881 census
Thomas c. 25 Feb 1823, Ramsey, buried 6 Sep 1872, Maughold
William c. 6 Jul 1828, Ramsey
Edward, b. abt 1829, buried 26 May 1850, Maughold

Catherine and sons show up without Thomas in the 1841 census and in the 1851 she is shown as widow (and annuitant). So I assume he died between conception of Edward in 1828 and the 1841 census. All other Thomas Kaighins who died during this period are either accounted for or are not the correct age.

I suspect that if this is the correct Thomas that he died at sea - he was a mariner.

Catherine was buried 4 Sep 1864 in Maughold, would you mind having a look to see if she has an MI? Thank you.
