Re: Parish Records 1700's Agneash?

One of my thoughts was that there is only one Stephen Kewley mentioned as being baptised in the IOM on the IGI - he was the one from Onchan. But looking at the spaces in the Lonan Parish records it is not possible to say that there wasn't another Stephen born in Lonan whose baptism wasn't recorded.
Although I can only find one burial, which is in Onchan, together with the one Will for Stephen - but that doesn't prove he is the father of the Philip Kewley I am looking for.

I don't think I can find a way through this one - unless he features in a Will somewhere but I'm not sure whose Will that might be. I've checked the Kewley Wills transcribed on Brian's site but nothing is obvious [I don't think].

Thanks for your help Lois - it is appreciated.
Wouldn't it have been nice if there had been a Skillicorn Will that left a bequest for grandson Philip who just happened to be married to Cath Kelly?
The real research world is a bit different !!!

Thanks again
