Frances Thankyou for your reply l am only new at researching family tree (love it) l can definitely see a trip to IoM in the future maybe next summer/spring. My John Henry was born 1830 Douglas IoM married in Aus 1856 (Emma Parkes) and died in Aus 1881 both m/c and d/c say he was born 1830. The John you mention is born 1826. Could there be another John and Ann??? Is there a CD or something l can buy with this info on? or do l have to visit the church? Thankyou Cheryl
