Personal Notes:
Jane married William KING, son of Margaret nee CREECH and William King, a baker who lived at Castletown on the south end of the island. He was not a Manxman and even with professional help, it was impossible to trace any further back in that line. William died on 04 Nov 1785 and was buried at Malew.
Poor Margaret was pregnant with their second child when her husband died. The baby, named for his father, was born just six weeks later on 18 Dec 1785. By the time of his marriage to Jane Quilliam on 14 Mar 1815, he was living at Douglas and may have served his apprenticeship as a shoemaker there. John and Elizabeth Quilliam had given to Jane and her husband property in Great Nelson Street where they set up a shoemaking concern. I went to the street but the premises had been demolished.
William and Jane had five children. Margaret Christian bp 1816 fustly married a man named Carroll, then Henry DAVIS in 1848. Her children were Henry 1849, William 1851, Lizzy 1858 and Edith 1859. Robert 1818 wed Elizabeth WILLIAMS in 1847 and died 1877. Between 1848 and 1860 they had ten children.
William Daniel 1819 was only 9 when he died in Feb 1829. His rather touching headstone in Old Kirk Braddon cemetery says:
"This lovely bud so young and fair, called hence by early doom,
just came to show how sweet aflower in Paradise would bloom".
The youngest daughter Jane 1825 died on 15 Sep 1843, aged 18 and is buried with her brother William. On 21 Dec 1821, the fourth child Elizabeth (or Lizzie) was baptised in the same church as her sisters and brothers - St Matthew's in Douglas.
At the time of the 1841 Census, all three sisters were shown as dressmakers. As the only surviving male, Robert was more than likely learning his father's trade. The 1851 Census shows Margaret married with two sons, Robert also married and Jane deceased -leaving only Lizzie at home.
Her father's business had flourished; he employed three men as well as a general servant. Lizzie worked for her father and is described in the census as a "binder". Sarah Davies, a grand-daughter aged 12, lived with the family.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
