I'm trying to tidy up some loose ends of the children of John Gelling d 1812 and Cath nee Killey d 1806, of Ballamillaghyn, Braddan.
In their will, written in 1802, they name their son John, their son Thomas who was "weak in his intellects", their daughter Isabel, and also a list of the other children--- Robert, William, Philip, Elizabeth and Catherine. At a later stage in the administration, a Catherine Cubbon is mentioned as a co-executor.
This burial, with matching will, from Brian Lawson's index intrigues me:
CUBBON, Catherine 71 Bra 11 May 1811 GELLING
CUBBON, Catharine 1811 Bra E 1 0106414
The only marriage entry in the IGI I can find of a Cath Gelling marrying a Mr Cubbon around that time is this one:

If the Cath Cubbon nee Gelling in the burial entry was age 71 in 1811, she'd have been born in 1740, and so would have given birth to Margaret b 1788 when she was 48.
If the "age 71" is definitely correct, then this isn't my Cath Gelling, because mine was born between 1754 and 1760.
So Donna, please would you see if there's an MI, although I know it's unlikely.
Thank you
