Well, Raymond and I have already discussed that possibility, Merry! Sadly for me, my 3 x GGM had the temerity to be an orphan when she married, in the care of her guardians (not named!) so I'm pretty stumped. But I do love IOM registers - they ALWAYS give the woman's maiden name, no matter what the event, and the Vicar was a fussy, wordy man who put comments in the margin at every opportunity. He never baptised a 'bastard', they were all 'father known unto God' - how lovely! OC

Raymond All is not lost - if James Quayle IS your relative, then the IGI hold many Parish Register entries for this name, including the date you gave. I know that the IGI transcriptions for this Parish (Maughold) are extremely accurate, as I have rellies in the same parish and have looked at the original film. OC

Reg, I think we are talking about the Isle of Man here where registration was different to England and didn't start in 1837 as we did. Sam x

That is simply not true...........it wasn't COMPULSORY until 1875, but registration was started in 1837 for all civil events........... Reg

To ALL who answered my call for information on the above. The original information I received was from a relation in Canada doing his own research which I now know to my cost was wrong. He must havw got confused with someone else. I apologies for wasting all your time and effort, I have since been told there was no Civil Registration of births until about 1878. Thank you ALL.
