Notes from Florence Lyon

 

The following information was excerpted from a letter written by Florence Lyon of Cleveland Heights, Ohio

on July 26, 1990.  She is the daughter of Caroline Kaighin Lyon, sister of Thomas Kaighin

* * *

Update 20 August 2006.  William G. Kaighin of Orange, California sent me a copy of the Florence Lyon

Genealogy Cart which is also deposited in the Manx Museum in Douglas, Isle of Man.  What follows in red

is taken directly from that chart.

 

Update 22 March 2007.  New information has been discovered that proves that the first generation here,

Thomas Kaighin and Margaret Quayle are incorrect.  This should be John Kaighin and Elizabeth Nicholl.

Descendants of Phillip and Jane Maria Kaighin.

 

Information in the center circle and first ring is from the Kaighin Family Bible.  Additional information is from personal acquaintance with family members or from relatives.  Information in the lower left and right corners are from the parish records which are on microfilm in the Genealogical Library of the Isle of Man Museum in Douglas.  The search was made easier because my mother had made a list of all her aunts and uncles on both sides of her family.  I took the list with me when I visited the Isle of Man in 1968 and 1973.

 

To read, start at high noon and read clockwise on the first ring from the center.

 

This family record was compiled by Florence Lyon, youngest grandchild
