eg will 1778 margt garrett als christy - d 3 feb 1778;son paul ua,patk,john;husb john (land improved with marle) - her husbs daughters;dau margt garret + cath exexs
(?quite what is meant by 'her husbs daus' - was john a widower)
second is marriage date - this is from official transcript (I havn't checked Jurby against actual register but the official transcript is elsewhere very very good and quite conservative in its readings - my notes on entry is - jg kk bride[heading is 1757 but there is a ? against it in 1911 transcript]
then you look at baptismal dates of children - there would appear to be twins - these are usually noted in baptismal reg which I havn't fully checked for Jurby (was on my list of things to do this year but illness of a close friend has put most of these on hold)
