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.
