This was my logic:
Based on the 4 census entries below for the same Thomas and Elizabeth Gelling couple (and Eliz widow in 1871), there's a perfect match with the IGI baptisms of their 8 children, not just names and ages, but also the fact that all were b Braddan except the two youngest, who were born after their parents moved to the farm in Patrick 1833/4.
The burials of Thomas and Elizabeth in Braddan rather than Patrick also rings true.
These Patrick wills might be theirs:
GELLING, Thomas 1869 Pat E 52 0106473
GELLING, Thomas 1869 Pat E 86 0106473
GELLING, Elizabeth 1875 Pat E 70 0106480

So what I'm trying to say is this: we know that the Braddan couple called Thos and Eliz Gelling who farmed at Ballamoore, Patrick, were a Thomas Gelling and an Elizabeth Craine, but we don't know the names of their parents.
They married 10 Jan 1824 Braddan. Please would a kind person see if there's anything helpful in the marriage register ?
