Hi, I am hoping that somebody may be able to help me, I am looking for my 2x great grandfather John Corkill and all I know about him was he was born on the Isle of Man in about 1856c he married my 2x Great Grandmother Elizabeth Reading in 1878 in Barrow in Furness I know all about him from the marriage to the 1901 census I just need to find his birth, when he was in Barrow he was a Baker and Confectioner and also employed people.
I am also know his father was also called John, Corkill which could have had an H in as well Corkhill.The father was noted on the marriage certificate of John and Elizabeth as a farmer.
I am also finding it very hard to find his wife Elizabeth Reading's birth certificate she was born in about 1855c in Shirley Warwickshire I also know all about her until the 1901 census. Her father Thomas Reading on her marriage certificate to John Corkill he was noted as being a Butcher.
I have looked at all the births of Elizabeth Reading's in Warwickshire but can not find one whoose father is called Thomas.
I have not been able to go to the Isle of Man yet but I have looked at the 1861 census and have found a few John Corkill's whoose father was also John but as I have know idea where on the island they lived I don't know how to start.
Many thanks

Many thanks Jan 1954 for your help. I will look into what you found out I do know that Shirley is near Solihull in Warwickshire but as yet have been unable to find the correct birth certificate.
Thanks again

Your Ancestor employed my ancestor!!!!
Look at the census for 1891 - your John Corkill Baker had Samuel Castell - Master Baker, boarding with him. This is my great grandfather! Talk about a coincidence!
Husband is gobsmacked!

Thanks Kate Jones,
Do you happen to know where on the Isle of Man, your great grandfather came from?.
I was wondering if they had known each other before they came to England, if they didn't, I thought it might be somewhere to start.
Many thanks

Hi Delphinus,
I assume they must have known each other before Barrow, I think the Manx families stuck closely together.
Samuel was born in Douglas, and is listed in the census of 1861 in his father's home in Parade Street and 1871 in Bath Place. His father Daniel was a shipwright and was listed twice in 1861 (at home as well as on board ship in Liverpool), and not at all (as far as I can find) in 1871 - I assume he was at sea.
The family also have a long association with Onchan, where Daniel's father (also Daniel) was a farmer, and where his older brother James continued farming at Glencrutchery after their father's death.
In 1881 Samuel is shown as Samuel CASTLE (a common alternative) in Everton, Liverpool.
I'll have a look at the censuses later on, and see if anything strikes me about any Corkill families living close to any of my Castells.
Cheers
