Ref JJ you mentioned in the last paragraph Sue, I have this JJ bap Oct 30th 1859 in Patrick, with 9 children and married Elizabeth Ann Craine bap Jan 12th 1862 again in Patrick.
I haven't checked their marriage date yet.
-----------
I have that JJ's parents as James Wade (Ramsey although I only have the year born as 1836) and his mother Eleanor Leece (Patrick), again with 9 children.
-----------
Anyway, back to Catherine Christian; Moving up the tree from JJ bapt Lonan 1859, his parents were John Wade bap 1838 Peel, German, IOM and spouse Isabella Anne Corkill bap 1835 Maughold and married Jan 29th 1829, Lonan.
-----------
Moving up the tree again brings us to Hugh Wade 1815 Kirk Michael - died Dec 14th 1876, who was married to Catherine Christian on Jan 16th 1836, parish of German, IOM. I've got Catherine bap 1815 Kirk German and a death date of Sep 16th 1887 in Peel.
The marriage certificate (copy) I have from the Registry office, does not give any details out about any parents.
DJDouglas mentioned about the possibility of Catherine's parents being John Christian and Jane Lord, which I'd like to follow up and would appreciate information you have on them.
