Good Morning Greg,

I just visited the Kaighin site (by Googling my name) and found that both myself and my step-mother have been labeled as "strays" from Australia. My name is Amanda Jane Kaighin and her name is Kristie Kaighin (PRIVATE). I was hoping to get the password to the database so I can determine if our relatives are there and fill in more pieces of the puzzle.

Many thanks,

 

Amanda Kaighin

I am the son of Greg Keighin his father was from Illinois and my family lives in Colorado. I know my

furthest relatives live in Illinois on both sides, my closest live in Colorado. I ran across your website

and found it strange my last name is spelled KEIGHIN and you were looking for Illinois and Colorado.


My name is Jesse Alan Keighin
My fathers name is Greggory Alan Keighin
His father was Robert I believe

 

I can inquire further if you feel this is something.

Greg,

The reason our branch was told that the name was changed to Keighin was due to a land clerk's error

when land was put in the Keighin name(instead of Kaighin). It was told to my dad that David Byron?..

when the land clerk misspelled the name on the land deed....told the family that it would cost more to

correct the spelling than what it was worth.... So that was why the spelling got changed here in Illinois.

Kind of sorry excuse for our line of thinking.....

 

Thanks Greg for the work you are doing. It is really interesting. Hopefully my cousin Paula (Keighin)

Meiner will be able to update you on some of the family tree.. Here is part of my immediate branch..

Researching David Orry Kaighin of Australia

The WOOLLEY family I am researching for a friend, come from LOTHA in Tasmania. I have very little

to go on at this stage but there may be a connection somewhere once you start researching that line. I

have found that there are three separate WOOLLEY families in Tasmania.

I do also have a distant connection to the CAIN name. David Orry KAIGHIN married Evalina LUND - his parents were Thomas KAIGHIN and Jane CAIN – her father was Caesar CAIN.

Hey no problem! I went to kaighin.com. Very interesting! And yes... I would LOVE to go back to Hawaii. We went once a couple of years back, and I am beyond ready to go again. Maybe I can convince him at some point - I am even content with waiting until I am finished with college so that he's not paying college bills and travel stuff at the same time. Hopefully that can happen... I'll keep my fingers crossed =)

Anna Kaighan

Dear Greg,

I came across your site today purely by accident and noted that you were interested inquiring information relating to the Kaighans in Barrow in Furness - UK. I hope the following may be of some use to you.

My name is Anna and I am married to Michael Kaighan - son of Alan Frederick Kaighan. Michael has 2 sisters, Denise and Pauline.

Alan Kaighan has 2 brothers, Brian and Derek and 2 sisters, Marion and Audrey.

Denise has 2 children, Wayne and Christine.

Pauline has 2 children, Martin and Sharon.

 

Alan's father's name was William John Kaighan.

All of the above were born in Barrow in Furness.

 

Very little appears to be known about the family history although we believe that there are connections to the Isle of Man and Ireland.

If you would like any specific information I will gladly pass it on to you.

 

Regards

Anna Kaighan

Hey Greg,

 

I'm Darryl Kaighan, the youngest one of Brian and Jan's family. I saw your website at school some time ago, and I was wanting to e-mail you but it turns my Dad already did! A bit about myself: I play guitar and sing in a band called Steamed Clams. We've been wanting to play in America (or any where outside of Barrow!) and now that I've found family there, it gives us more reason to!

 

Thanks for reading,

 

Daz.

I'm enquiring on behalf of my wife's distant cousin, who had an aunt Catherine Ann Kaighin (died 12 July1938 at Verriaght, Lezayre Road, Ramsey). She brought up a number of children of William Henry Christian and Caroline Kaighin when Caroline died in 1889. Of particular interest is William Kaighin Christian, born around 1896.

I am searching for information about the family of John Kaighin, born at Ramsey IOM, Oct. 21. Father

Thomas, Mother Jennie Kissack, Grandmother Kate Kelly, Brothers William, Thomas, and Robert and one

sister. Brothers Thomas and Robert and sister died in flu epidemic prior to 1898 John Kaighin sailed for

three years on an English vessel between ool and New York before settling in USA. Does anyone have any

information?

 

 

Hello Greg.

 

This is Arula Kaighin Rust finally getting back to you.  Thanks for the message and the information 

The information you have on the Nebraska Kaighins is all correct as far as it goes.  My parents were William

Milton and Mildred Catherine (PRIVATE) Kaighin.  I was born PRIVATE and was adopted on PRIVATE.  I

will round up all the information you requested and get it to you.  I need to check on some dates with a

cousin, Dorothy Kaighin McConnell who is the youngest daughter of Joy Kaighin and Lockard Stanley.

 

You asked who John James married -- her name was Marie Trivier and her parents immigrated from

France to Coal City, Illinois where Marie was born.  Sadly there is no one in this line that carries the name

of Kaighin.

 

The Kaighins that we visited with are Edna Holder and Helen Kaighin.  Helen has since passed away, but

Edna's son, Roger, is continuing the search.  I believe he has traveled to IOM several times. 

 

If you will send me your address, I will be happy to send you copies of all the letters and other information

we have.  It is too much to email.  In the meantime I will try to organize all pertinent data to forward to

you.  I am so thrilled that someone is tracing the Kaighin line.  My father always wanted to make a trip to

IOM but never made it.   I wish he could see what you have -- he would be so tickled.

 

Again, thank you for getting in touch with us.  I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

 

Sincerely, Arula (pronounced Ar-la)

Greg my name is Derald Rust and I happen to be married to a Kaighin from Nebraska. Her grandfather was

from the Isle of Mann and for some reason never knew much about his family or at least never passed it on

to my wife's father. We do have some letters from the Isle but not much more. My wife's father's name was

William Kaighin. We do know of a family in Missouri with the Name of Kaighin and we know that some of

their family has traveled to the Isle, but never or at least seems never, made a connection. Don't know

where to go from here but any help would be appreciated.


Thanks Derald & Arula (Kaighin) Rust

Hi Greg

Thank you for all your help so far. I am slowly sorting out my family (Teare and Mylrea). It would have been helpful if they would have thought of different first names for their children. In the William Mylrea (ggrandfather) family there were 3 sons named William-just reused after the death of each son!.

Thank you for forwarding your contact info re John Willy Kaighin.

Do you live on the IOM?

Dear Greg

 

I come from a family that went out to South Africa in the nineteenth Century. Amongst them is my Great Grandmother, Isobel (or Isabella) Kaighin. We know she was orphaned and brought up with her sisters by an Uncle who may have had the surname John Jouchin who had a son called Charlie. She first came to Bolton as a hatmaker before emigrating to South Africa. She was born in 1864 and died in 1946 in South Africa. She married Frank Theophilus Irons (1866-1943). The family genealogy from there on is pretty up to date if you would be interested.  If information is correct she was a carrier of haemophilia, according to her granddaughter.

Charles Kaighin / Margaret Cannell

Interested in connecting with anyone researching these two individuals in the late 1790's early 1800's

How come in the 1851 census there is s Phil listed as a son? this Phil was born in Malew.

This Philip is who I suspect to be my g-g grandfather, as I can find no other Philip born in Malew, and the

time frame fits my Philip. Could he not be the son of Charles Kaighin?
http://genforum.genealogy.com/kaighin/messages/13.html

1851 German, IOM census states:
Charles Kaighin
Margaret (wife)
Hugh (son)
Ann (dau)
Elisabeth (dau)
William (nephew)
Charles (son)
Phil (son)<-- my g-g-grandfather
Is this the same family that you are referring to??
Please let me know
http://genforum.genealogy.com/kaighin/messages/11.html

Do you know did your John Kaighin have a brother named Phillip Kaighin who married Ann Comish?  All

my Kaighins came from IOM then to Yorkshire then on to Vancouver, BC!!!

http://genforum.genealogy.com/kaighin/messages/1.html

I am trying to find information or descendents of Phillip Kaighin and his wife Ann Comish. Their children are Lenora baptized Mar 3, 1867 in Bride, Isle of Man; Catherine Jane baptized Bride; Phillip John (my g-grandfather); Janetta baptized Sept 20,1874 in St. Matthews, Douglas, Isle of Man and Robina J. Kaighin b abt 1878 in Mirfield, Yorkshire.

Dear Greg,

 

To work backwards: You have my family correct.  We were married on 12th August 1995 at Bethel Baptist,

 Sutton, Near Haverfordwest in what was then Dyfed but is now Pembrokeshire, Wales. (PRIVATE) and

(PRIVATE) were both born at the Jane Crookal Maternity Unit, Westmoreland Road, Douglas. This has

since moved to a new site in Braddan.  My wife (PRIVATE) was born (PRIVATE) at (PRIVATE).

 

I have one sibling: (PRIVATE) (Kaighin) Williams. She is married to (PRIVATE) Williams. Married at

Bethel church, (Formally Sea mans mission) Christian Street, Ramsey on 1st November 1986 they have

one daughter and live in Ramsey

 

My Parents were married in 1964 at Ballaugh Parish Church and lived at Willow Cottage, Ballaugh Curragh

until about 1972.  My father has no siblings.  My parents are both still alive.

 

My Grandfather's (Edward known as Ned) Siblings: John William Kaighin - never married - no children –

lived at Ballamoar, Jurby. James Kaighin - never married - no children - lived at Ballamoar, Jurby.  Dora

Kaighin - married ? Forsyth - lived at Jurby - 2 children – boy and girl (Hazel - living 2004 married Cyril

Adams - died (early 1990's or late 1980's?) There may have been another sister who went to New York

when young. I shall have to ask my father what he knows of this.

 

Regarding Castle Lake - there can be some confusion about this - and what I will say now won't really clear

it up!  There are three (3) houses next to each (ie separated by one or two small fields)  other which were

all called Castle Lake until perhaps twenty-five years ago when one was rebuilt and renamed white gables.  

Only one of these houses is in the local government parish of Jurby the other two being in Ballaugh. The

house my parents live in is as I have said just on the Ballaugh side - however a previous vicar of Jurby

parish church called to see my parents and told them that for Church of England purposes their house is

listed as being in Jurby - the boundaries are not the same.

 

Regarding other place names I wonder if Ballamoar ; Sandygate and Curragh could actually refer to  the

same place? All three terms are not necessarily very specific. Sandygate being a hamlet, Curragh a general

term referring to the wet land extending north from Ballaugh Curragh and Ballamoar being part of the

name of a number of properties. My great uncles lived on a small farm called Ballamoar Beg (about 20 acres

I think). I can remember going there when young. I don't think it had changed much all the years they had

lived there. My great uncle John and grandfather farmed in partnership. I well remember my great uncles

cutting the last field of cereal in the parish with an old binder (pulled by a tractor) because a small bridge

connected some fields and it would not have taken a combine harvester. That would have been in 1973 I

think. I believe there is a picture of this somewhere - my great uncle can be seen using the leavers on the

binder.

 

My Great Grandmother died in approx the late 1930's, I think before my father was born. I have seen the

grave but can not recall the actual date. She was buried in Jurby Churchyard as were my great uncles and

great aunt. My grandparents were buried in Ballaugh churchyard.

William Kaighan father to William John Kaighan, Gini and Martha Was my Great-Grandfather I have very

little info But would appreciate more

 

William Kaighan was my great-grandfather. I have asked my father if he can remember anything and the

only information he could remember was that he was originally married to a lady called Smythe? and later

married someone called Mary. (my great-grandmother) it seems that not very much is known about my

family ancestry other than that we originated in the Isle of Man.

Hi Greg
         I have just been talking to a Philip Allen who was enquiring about the possible family link with the Kaighins back in 1820.  He mentioned you and said that you had done a detailed study of the Kaighin family tree. Some thirty years ago I researched our Manx history and was able to get back to about 1840.  The Family home was then Ballagarret near Bride. I was wondering if you were able to E-MAIL me anything you have relating to Ballagarret prior to 1840,
and if your have anything after that time that I can match up with my records.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi - I found your very extensive information, Thank you.  I have just started serious input into my family tree.  My great grandmother was Catherine Kaighin, married John W. Fix, my grandmother was Ida Margaret Fix married to Charles C. Klingman, my mother was Kathryn Laverne Klingman married to Paul Theodore Eisele, and I am Barbara Eisele Sofer.  I don't know if I have any information to contribute, but as a child, my mother and grandmother would take me to Riverside Cemetery to help plant geraniums on the Fix and Klingman graves.  I tried to enter your data base, but it required a password,  If your research is still ongoing and I can be of assistance, please let me know,

Sincerely, Barbara Sofer, Concord Township, OH

Do you post any pictures on your site?  I have some pictures of Josephine (my great-grandmother) and

her twin sister Hazel.

 

I am really enjoying your site, thanks so much for all your hard work.

Hello,

   I just found your website (while searching for The Kaighins of Kirk Michael), and I’m very interested in

seeing your database of names.  I’m descended from John Kaighin and Eleanor Cannell, who came to

America around 1826.  Their youngest daughter Margaret married John Varran (of France) and lived in

NYC until she died in the Bronx in August 1918.  She was my grandmother’s great-grandmother.  I believe

that Margaret’s older brothers Philip, William and Thomas settled in Ohio.

 

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Looked the Kaighin family you have on my line and found that generation 1 is different. I have no

Thomas being the head of the family.  John was born 1768 marries at 1797 his brothers and sisters were

Margaret  1770, Ann 1775, Charles,1778, William 1783, Catherine 1786. Their father was John born 1715,

he marries  Elizabeth Knickel in 1766. They farmed at Kerroo Glass. His brothers and sisters were Joney

1717, Leonara  1718, Catherine1721 who marries Thomas Cannell, Alice1724, Henry 1726, and Margaret

1730. Their  father was also a John b1685 who marries Alice Boddaugh of Kirk German.  It seems funny

but was John married twice? Who is Thomas and how did he get in the picture?

Hi Greg

This one made it! Not sure where the other messages ended up...  Nice to hear from you. I have some photos my mother gave me which I will gladly send you. Do you prefer the originals? I have a scanner which is not connected but can get that running (I think). Love to help you either way.

Hello!

 

I'm working on a family history and came across your website.  My GG Grandfather is Thomas Gale Kaighin.  My GG Grandmother is "Minnie" Wilhelmina Hazelman...your records show it as Hasselman.  My Great Grandmother is Effie Laura Kaighin Smith.  I was born in Toledo in 1956.  My parents are Joyce (MacKenzie) and Jim Payne.  My mom is the daughter of Dorothy Wilhelmina Smith (Effie's oldest child) and Howard MacKenzie. 

 

My dad, who passed away this year, left me with a large amount of fairly well chronicled family genealogy. Anything I might be able to fill in for you I'd be happy to research!  I may have some questions for you as I put together my history.  Wow! 

 

I just found your site this evening and will take a good look at it as time permits. I just wanted to introduce myself and say "hello" to a family member that I didn't know I had.

 

Best to you,

My mother's maiden names is Kennedy. I have a brother named Thomas Preston Kaighin, Jr., who lives in Savannah, GA.

Thank you Greg. My aunt Kathlyn (Kay), dad (Roland)'s sister, first mentioned you and your family research. I can't imagine the work necessary, but I can imagine the feeling when you get names of your ancestors, and theirs, and theirs, and theirs along with locations from around the world. In fact, I'm looking through old envelopes of stuff right now, and getting a glimpse into the past. House deeds, burial receipts, letters, and tons of pictures. Thoughts, memories and revelations. It's thought provoking and enlightening. I was just wondering if you're still compiling information. If so, I may have some missing names and dates for you. Let me know and I'll send them to you. And, thank you again for your thoughtful reply. It was timely and appreciated, especially from a family member. Little bits of him live on through us.

 

All the best,

Hello Greg, 

 

I happened upon your Kaighin genealogy website, and I was amazed at all the work you've done.  Very interesting stuff.  I found my family there - my mom is Karen Kaighin - but I just want to let you know that my first name was spelled wrong - it's Rachael. 

 

Thanks and good luck with your project.

Greetings Greg!
I randomly stumbled upon your website and checked it out. I also noticed that you are looking to hear from

the clan from Toledo. Although, I live in Columbus, OH, the rest of my relatives still live in Toledo. I think

my grandfather Clifford Kaighin would be very interested in your website. I plan on mentioning it to him

and hopefully he will contact you. I know a while back some members of our family researched the family

tree. So hopefully he has that info and it can be of some assistance to you. I believe my grandpa also has

info on Kenneth and Yvonne Kaighin of the Toledo area too.
Well, so here is some background on Cliff and Rose Kaighin….

4 sons beginning with the oldest Steve, Dave, Cliff Jr., and Bill
1 daughter, youngest - Laurie
Steve and Ann
3 daughters - Stephanie, Angie, and Victoria; 1 son - Matthew
Dave and Tina
1 son and 1 daughter - Derek and Trisha
Cliff Jr and Jill
2 daughters - Tiffany and Dana
Laurie and Dennis Dixon
2 sons - Josh and Sean

Have you ever thought of having a Kaighin family reunion?

 

My Grand father was James Alfred Kaighin,

There was a daughter I think died at 19 years, not positive.

I can tell you that I come from John Beddow Kaighin. My Grandfather is Luther Thomas Kaighin, and my mother is Carol Marlene Kaighin (Tinker). She was born Oct. XXXXX. She had a brother, Luther Le Otis Kaighin (deceased) and a sister, Marsha Elizabeth Kaighin (deceased). I can get you more information after I talk to my Mom. My Grandfather just lost his sister, Dorothy, this year.  I have a sister, Marla Jerene Tinker (Melius), born June XXXXX, and a brother, Brian Wesley Tinker, born April XXXXX. My aunt and uncle had no children so there are no more Kaighin's from this branch, and no other children, except my sister and mine.   That's all for now. I live in Portland, Oregon. I hope to meet up with Jack when we visit next year. I believe he is in touch with my Mom's cousins that live in Houston, Missouri - Roger and Peggy Holder.
Thanks again!

Hi Greg and many thanks for the contact. 

I researched my ancestors many years ago and discovered that we originated from the Isle of Mann as I believe all Kaighins do. My direct line goes to about 1700.  As I come across new Kaighins I log them onto my Excel list with so far over 768 names there.  Quite by accident I discovered that only one Kaighin came to South Africa who I think was a Margaret but as she did not fit into my tree I did not log her in.  Please let me have your line as you never know we could well be cousins.

Regards

Hi Greg,

 

Thanks for your email, (09/01/09). I would be delighted to assist in any way I can and will willingly give my DNA to the project, but need to know how to proceed. Please advise.  Please keep me informed on your work to date, and of any progress as I am intrigued by genealogical tracing. (Being of Manx descent, we probably have some Viking DNA). I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Greg

 

My cousin Sally Sprung has previously given you some details regarding her side of the Kaighin family and, for

my sins, I am also from that side. I am the John she refers to in her outline of the family. My mother was

Mona Esther Kaighin sister of Sally’s grandfather William Clague Kaighin (born 21st February 1903).  I attach a

file showing “my side” of the family.   I trust the above is self explanatory but should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Kind regards

Dear Greg

My maiden name was Kaighin. I was born in the Isle of Man, my father was Edward Kaighin and my mother

Margaret McQuillan, my grandfather Ernest – he was a tailor in Kirk Michael and his wife was Margaret

Kerruish.

My maiden name was Kaighin. My Father used to talk of the name Kaighin being originally a Viking name such

as MacEachan meaning son of the horse lord. I am not sure of this having any substance but certainly the Isle of

Man was invaded by Norse people who settled on the island. My father's mother's name was Kerruish. The

family lived in Kirk Michael and my grandfather was a tailor.

Hi Greg,
Do you know about the author John Richard Kaighin who wrote pieces for the Birkenhead newspaper and

published two books but one must have been racist or anti-Semitic and had disappeared. The other of which

people were more proud appears on his tombstone. In the book he talks of Mr. Philip Kaighin who had 2

unmarried children who ran a hardware and toy shop. He was a cooper by trade but believed in temperance and

was also a Wesleyan preacher. Do you know anything about this side of the Kaighin Family?

Hope this helps!

Hello. My name is Hilary Morgan and I am the daughter of William Sidney Kinley. My Dad (born 1893) was the 
8th child of Edward Kinley and Ann Jane Kaighin. They lived at Knochsharry Farm, Peel on the road to Kirk 
Michael, past Llergydhoo Methodist Chapel, which was where they worshipped, and just opposite the turning for 
the Switchback road.

Hi Greg,

Sandra Kaighin sent me an email with the link to your site today; my sister Gemma and I are on your list of

strays. Just let me know whatever you need from me and I’ll sort it.  Your site seems very interesting; I’ve also

looked into family coats of arms before in the museum etc., definitely not done as much research as you though. 

I was hoping you’d have some information on Onchan Kaighin’s as I was told there was a Kaighin’s Farm up in

Birch Hill many years ago, explaining why the lane from the Onchan Scout hut running up to Birch Hill is called

Kaighin’s Lane, being an Onchan Kaighin myself.  Well keep up the good work let me know if you need anything.

Regards

Karl

Hi. My name is Roy Kaighin.
Unfortunately I don't have a reply to your question. However, you never know when one contact will lead to

another. I was adopted by a William Kaighin who was born in Ballaugh on 23 Nov 1891. I don't know if you'll be

able tie in this person with your records.
Good luck and best wishes,

Roy W. Kaighin

I would love to help you with what little information I have. I am a Kaighin by marriage and spend most of my

time working on my family...endless work; however, I have worked a bit on my husbands.
His father, William Kaighin, was born in Ballaugh in
1891. He died when Roy was eleven at the age of 71.
Needless to say the vast age gap left Roy with little
knowledge of any other family members despite the fact
he lived on IOM until about the age of nine.
At the moment I can't find my documentation of the
Kaighins but you probably know more about his family
anyways.
 I'll pass your e-mail address on to Roy as I am sure he would love to have contact.
Regards
Diane Alton-Kaighin

My mother was Eddenna William Kaighn, daughter of Edward James Kaighn, son of William Henry Kaighn, son of James Kaighn who was one the children of Elias Kaighn, Sr. I have a lot of material including data from Camden City directories, Census reports, data from Camden cemetery microfilms, etc. I am very much interested in what you have.

I offer two references, the first, my heritage, traced to the IOM as follows: John Kaighn came to America from the Isle of Man sometime prior to 1688 and first settled at or near Perth Amboy. He was the son of Jane Kaighen of Kirk Andrew, a town in the north of the Isle. Clement mentions other members of his family in England as follows: a brother Charles; a sister Ellen, and a brother-in-law, Daniel Lane. (from John Clement's "John Kaighin and some of his Descendants" The Historical Sketch of Camden, New Jersey.) The second, the lineage of Elizabeth Kaighin, second wife of President John Taylor, traced to Thomas Kaighin, born about 1576 at Kirk Michael. (from Archibald Bennett's "The Kaighin Family" of the IOM.)

 

http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/surnames.Kaighn/1.5

My ancestor is George B.'s older brother, William Simpson Kaighn who married Nancy S. McElroy. I'd be interested in sharing information as well.

 

I had not seen the Adams letter before and am intrigued by it.  Separated from my records by being over here, I am curious if the John Kaighn referenced in the letter, is the son of John II, my ancestor, who had moved to Philadelphia; or is it the son of James from NJ?  I recall reading that John II had left the congregation and moved to Gloucester Twp and died in 1749, and John III had married in the Episcopal church 1762 and would not be still of the Quaker “Perswasion.”  Did I miss an answer in Boyer’s history?

 

Thank you,

Brian

I am looking for information re: Charles Kaighn who was married to Beulah in Oklahoma. He worked for the railroad and moved to Tucumcari, NC. He was living there when he died (I do not know the exact year but was in the 1900's, approximately 1942). The family originated in Camden, NJ where Kaighn Point is named after this family line.

I married into the Kaighn family 20 years ago and divorced out of the family 12 years ago.  Despite this my ex and I are good friends and I have enjoyed working on the family tree.  I'm finishing up college now and never bothered to renew my site dues but will in the future (1 - 2 years).

Can't say I am related here, but, my husband Has KAIGHN, HINCHMAN, COLLINS, MATLACK AND Halvsies on the MICKLE. He actually descends from a William KAIGH(I)N and Charity COLLINS. I have been unable to find anything on this William as far as a date of birth or parentage. I am sure he comes from the Isle of man, or a father does. Perhaps related to John (whom I have researched extensively, prior to finding the correct lineage) John is reported to be the son of John KAIGHIN c. 1635-1701 and Jane CANNELL??-March 1714/15 and siblings Joseph, Beth, Charles, William, Elinor, Philip, Joney, Philip, Gilbert and Ellen - of whom his mother speaks of her marriage in a letter. To my knowledge this is not proven.  My husband connects mainly to Joseph HINCHMANs line but cross marriages make him related to John also. And of course, because of the father my husband is his own cousin.  Anyone wanting to swap some info or just talk about this can email me at dmdemore at medfordnj.com or just reply to the list.

This branch of the Kaighn family in Camden, New Jersey seems to have started in the mid 1600s by John Kaighin, who emigrated from Kirk German, Isle of Man and who was a member of the Quaker church in this country.   I know that his mother was Jane Cannell and his father, John, was an educated man and a leader in the Kirk German parish, IOM.  I will send you what info I have.  My grandfather was John Lord Kaighn. The spelling changed to "Kaighn" in the 1700s.  A map of Camden shows the spelling as Kaighin in 1745.   I visited the Isle of Man in 1985 and again in 2000 and I fell in love with the country. 

 

Sincerely,  Joan A. Kaighn

My ancestor, John Kaighin emigrated to New Jersey from the Isle of Man in 1633.  I think that our families are probably connected even though the spelling is a little different.

Hi Greg

 

Thanks very much for your message.  Rebecca has been one of the more difficult of my father's all-New England ancestors… a very stubborn holdout. The Charles Kaighn I mentioned was likely Rebecca's brother, given the dates and the location of Newport, and the paucity of that name in all of Rhode Island. I had considered perhaps she was the daughter of a later immigrant, although I could not find any evidence to support this. Thanks very much also for the link to Boyer's book; I will go through it carefully to see what I can find, and will certainly let you know if and when I find anything that connects Rebecca to immigrant John Kaighn.

Hello Cousin!

My Grandmother was Vera Swyler Kaighn Nirella her Father was Wilford M. Kaighn, married to Mamie (Swyler) Kaighn. From the Camden, NJ area. My Uncle Vincent Kaighn Nirella gave me this info. He lives in Middletown, NJ. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Uncle Vince also said that the Kaighn family came over on the Mayflower with William Penn and the Cooper family, who founded the Cooper's
Hospital.

 

From Bob Christine:
Hi cousin;
Let me tell you how we are related. My G-G-Grandfather is James S. Kaighn, 4th child of Elias Kaighn, Sr. and Mary Shillingford. James (of Clarksboro, Gloucester County, NJ) was married to Mary Watson, of Hurffville, Gloucester county, and they had two Sons, John Jackson Kaighn and William Henry Kaighn. You are descended from John Jackson and I am descended from William Henry. He was my Great-Grandfather.
I am very glad to make your acquaintance.

My mother had a half-brother, Francis Kaighn, who did a lot of work on the family, and who passed away before I had chance to get the information form. I happened to go to the Camden County Historical Society one day and found a copy of his work, which incidentally showed Vincent Nirella and Danny Nirella as children of Vera Kaighn and Danny Nirella, children of Wilfred M. Kaighn and Mary Tanier.
 Goes to show it's a small world.  I'll be glad to swap information with you.


Sincerely, Bob Christine, Thursday, Jan.13,2000

I am researching my family tree and your website name keeps appearing as a site I need to look at, but it does not seem to be working at the moment.  Is it currently offline?  My great grandfather John James Duff (born in Douglas 1879) Married Mary Agnes Killen (born in Douglas 1885)in South Africa.  Agnes’ mother was Agnes Ann Kaighin. (born Peel 1865).  She had Married William Killen in Braddan in 1883.  Agnes Ann Kaighin was the Daughter of John Alexander Kaighin (born Peel 1841).  I am hoping your website will allow me to continue my search into the Kaighin side of my family.

My dad John was adopted by Herbert John Kaighan and Ethyl Till.  Mary and I met with friends of my fathers in Vancouver a few years ago and they were there when dad came home from hospital and gave us a picture.  Herbert left ethyl when my dad was 18 and lived in the Isle of Man until his death.  My dad did not know he was adopted until he applied for a visa to emigrate to US in 1951.  My dad had visited his "dad" in isle of man when he was in army and stationed in Europe 1941 – 1945.  The REAL question is who was my dad's dad?  We have a birth certificate for my dad with a very odd name on it as his last name.  My mother said there was speculation he was illegitimate child of an Irish attorney and his secretary in Vancouver.  But.....!!  She really was speculating

From Facebook:

Hi Greg.  Yes we visited the Kaighin website some time ago. I will ask Ian's Uncle, John Kaighin (his father James Alexander is dead) if he can answer any of your questions. James and John had a sister Gertrude (I think) who died young without offspring. James had 2 children Ian (my husband) and Jane (now Corkish). John had 2 children Clive (died early 20s of hypoglycaemic coma) without offspring and Barry (paralyzed from waist down following motorbike accident in his 20s.  He has one son Sam.

I have just discovered your gen site.  My connection to the Kaighins is as follows=

 

My grandfather John James Duff (born in Douglas 1879) Married Mary Agnes Killen (born in Douglas 1885) in Capetown in 1906.  Agnes` mother was Agnes Ann Kaighin. (born Peel 1865).  She had Married William Killen in Braddan in 1883.  Agnes Ann Kaighin=Daughter of John Alexander Kaighin (born Peel 1841).  I am living in New Zealand at the moment but intend to go back to the IOM permanently in 2009. I will manage a short visit this year, probably in Sept.

 

Hope to hear from you soon, Michael Duff.

Hi

 

I have just come across your site, my grandmother was Eva Catherine Kaighin, born 1919 and she passed away in 2006. She had a brother Frederick John (1911-1969) and sister Elsie (1911 – 2004/5). My nan was born in Liverpool and her parents were Frederick William Kaighin and Sarah Jane Meadows. Frederick’s marriage certificate shows his surname as Kegan, but this is the only document to do so in all of the history I’ve found so far. On this marriage certificate his father was down as Thomas, a Mariner. Please can you help me with any further lineage, I had always been told that Frederick’s father was John Kaighin but after finding this marriage certificate it looks like that is not correct. My nan always said there was a family connection with the Ramsey lifeboat.

 

I look forward to hearing from you, I hope you can clear things up for me

Hiya

 

Grandpa (George Henry Kaighin) married in 1929 in Birmingham, England might have been on there as would my dad (John William Fife Kaighin) born 1933 Birmingham, England.  So a quick history for you, could find out more from my dad if you want me to:

My great grandfather was William Kaighin from Peel, a guard on the IoM railway.  Apparently died after falling off the train drunk.  We have a photo of him in IoM railway uniform.

George Henry Kaighin, born Peel (I think 1892) moved to Birmingham, England in early 1900's and become a teacher.  We have his IoM football team cap, dated 1909-10.

George married Mary Barclay PRIVATE, of Ayrshire, in Birmingham in 1929.

John Kaighin was their only son, born PRIVATE, married Meg (Margaret) PRIVATE in 1960.

Three children:

Nicholas Robert Fife Kaighin (PRIVATE)

Christopher john Fife Kaighin (PRIVATE)  That's me

Sally Elizabeth Kaighin  (PRIVATE)

From this generation one child carries the Kaighin surname:

Ronan Adams Kaighin (PRIVATE)

But we also have Ciara Kaighin Adams (PRIVATE)

Would be interesting to hear if you have us in your scheme already.

 

Best wishes

Hi all,
 
This is absolutely fascinating!!  I hope I can fill in some gaps for you!

I am researching Gawnes and I have found a few Kaighen connections.  The one I was looking at in particular was Thomas Kaighin 'of Ballaugh' (I have 'abt 1788') who married Catherine Gawne 13 Jul 1819, Maughold.  If you have any more direct way I might research this I would be grateful for any advice.

 

I have the ref from:

"The Descendants of Thomas Kaighin and Catherine Gawne.htm From "Shining by the Sea" - A history of Ramsey 1800-1914 by Constance Radcliffe: "…Thomas became the first coxswain of the Lifeboat "Two Sisters", a position later held (1883-90) by his eldest son, also Thomas." of 11 Quayles Court, Maughold" but I was wondering if there was any more info available.

Thank you very much

Jonathan Leece

jonathanleece at thepremiergriop.biz

 

I am the Grandson of John James Kaighen who passed away about three years ago. He was buried at Lezayre Churchyard in the same ploy as his wife, my grandmother. He was Chairman of the Ramsey Town Commissioners and served as a member for many years. Both he and his father Garnet were founding members of the Ramsey Association of Buffs Club (RAOB). They had two Daughters Paulette Colquitt and Jacqueline Leece (both married names and remain married). They married Brian Colquitt and John Leece; they had three children and two children respectively. I assume you are not interested once they have lost the Kaighen name.

 

My great grandfather Garnett was also part of RNLI and I have possession of one of his original RNLI hats and also some of his mouth organs he used to play.

 

My grandfather John spent most of his early years in the army in the post WWII period. He was also a keen singer with his bother Neville. He played football for Ramsey AFC for many years. He was also an ambulance man until he was medically retired.

 

My mum Jackie lives in Whitebridge Avenue, Ramsey 300 metres away from Greta and Bill Desmond.

Thanks, Julie Richmond.

I immigrated to Texas USA when I was 13 and am now trying to see if there are any Kaighens still alive on the Island. Any information would be welcomed.  I hope this is the correct forum to post this type of message. Thank you. Rodney Kaighen.

 

Greg,
Thanks for the E-mail.
Looks like the posts you sent me are my aunt and uncle.
My name is Rodney John Kaighen my father John Rodney Kaighen my grandfather is Joseph Rodney Kaighen. Voirrey, Stevan and Crellin are sister and brothers they were children of Joseph Rodney’s 2nd wife. My father’s half brother and sister. I have some additional info my mother gave me about Joseph Rodney’s siblings. Names... John, Billy, Bertha, Florie, Nenna and a Quayle doesn't remember first name. I have not seen Voirrey, Stevan and Crellin for 30 plus years if you have any email or contact info I would appreciate hearing from you or pass mine on to them. I still remember the Island like it was yesterday even though I haven’t been there since we came to the US in 1966. My uncle worked for the Manx electric and even had his own stop "Watsons Crossing" next to Ballaglass Glen. Oh the memories...

Hi Greg,

 

Yes, you have hit it right on the nose. My husband, Keith, is the son of Joseph C. Kaighen Jr. He was born in Montana and his father was born in Missouri. He was married to Thelma, also from Missouri. There is no one left but my mother-in-law, Stella that can tell me a whole lot of the family history and to be honest with you I don't know if she can give me very much information. She is 84 now and still lives in the Detroit area.  We moved about 70 miles north of Detroit about 21 years ago to a small town. We have 3 grown sons and 3 grandchildren.

Hello Greg,

 

My name is Janice (Jan) Lawler. I was referred to your web site by Steve Bailey. Some months ago Steve wrote me and said that he thought we were related. Since then we have been sharing our family information with each other.  When he referred me to your web site today, I found the following. “Descendants of the Carns (AKA Kaighins) of LeRoy Twp, Lake County, Ohio”.  Unfortunately I have very little information on the Carns line other than on 28 June 1851 a Susanna Carn (Carne), b. 1 Aug 1833 d. 8 May 1918, married my maternal GGG Grandfather, John Orlando Hopkins, b. 17 Dec 1824 d. 2 Sep 1907.  Their daughter, Jennie Ora Hopkins b. 23 Apr 1867 in Beloit, Wisconsin d. 3 Nov 1948 in Marysville, California, Married in Hoxie, Kansas on 1 Nov 1885, Charlie Perkins b. 21 Dec 1854 in LaSalle, Illinois, d. 18 Oct 1947 in Portland, Oregon.  Their daughter, Elfie Lelia Perkins, b. 14 Jan 1888 in Hoxie, Ks. d. 4 Dec 1978 in Plainville, Ks. Married in Plainville, Ks. on 24 Dec 1906, Jasper Cleon Lawler, b. 12 Feb 1884 in Schuyler Co., Illinois, d. 11 Nov 1972in Plainville, Ks. Their son, John Darrol Lawler, b. 16 Jan 1919 in Plainville, Ks. d. 17 Jun 1998 in Hays, Ks. was my father. Needless to say, I was very impressed with your web site and all of the extensive research you have done.  I started my research in 1993, beginning with some old family pictures my grandmother Elfie Lelia (Perkins) Lawler gave me way back in 1960. Among them two of Susanna Carn and John O. Hopkins, which I am pleased to attach to this email.

 

I would also be pleased if you would let me know if any of what I've sent is of any importance to your research.

 

Respectfully,

Jan Lawler

ancestors were not prominent to be tracked. Just farmers, I guess. Do want to know who and where they

settled. I am planning a trip to the IOM and would appreciate information.

Greetings:

 

My name is W. Richard Kaighen and I understand you would like some "family tree" info from us.  If you are still interested please respond to this email and I may be able to clear up some "holes" in your genealogy as far as our side of the ancestry goes which I have back to Charles and Margaret (Connell) Kaighin from the I.O.M. who gave birth to Hugh, Charles, John, Kattie, Ann or Jane?, and Elizabeth (Betsy) Kaighin.  Charles (born 1825 IOM) and John were the only two who immigrated to America and settled around Springfield Il.  John immigrated here in 1849 and Charles in 1851.  My linage is thru Charles.

 

If interested I would be happy to give you what I have.

Dear Greg,

 

I did reply to your email earlier on but I cannot find it in 'sent items' so you either have nothing or three or four.   If you haven't received one this is just to say thank you for your very interesting letter.  

 

The problem with the farm of Kerrowglass is that there are three small farms each called by the same name.  I knew that a Margaret Kaighin had married a John Cannell and had seven daughters and one son who died in infancy and I have followed up all seven daughters to a certain extent. The story goes that John Cannell disowned his eldest daughter, Jane which is why Margaret, the second daughter, came to inherit Kerrowglass.    

 

My Charles Kaighin who married Margaret Cannell lived in a nearby farm at the time called Skerrisdale.  

 

When I was young I used to stay at Kerrowglass at weekends when my great aunt Christian Kaighin lived there and I used to sleep in a bed called a half tester, which was a bit like a four poster and had lots of curtains around it.

 

At the moment I am busy packing everything away into the loft as I am getting the decorators in and having a new floor covering which means everything has to be cleared out of my living room but I will be in touch again sometime.

Hi, Nice to hear from you especially since I hadn't a clue about any of this a few hours ago. I started this genealogical stuff about Christmastime and it's still fairly new to me. The Kaighins are the only ancestors I've found who arrived in this country after 1800. By the way, how do they get Carne from Kaighin? Do they drop Rs on the Isle of Man as they do here in mid-coast Maine? Here they also add them as in idea/idear and Linda/Linder. Anyway Susanne Carne had a daughter Jennie Hopkins who had a daughter Myra Adelle Perkins who had a son Donald Wayne Bailey who had me. Myra Adelle had some large round tintypes of family but I'm not sure where they went. I'm trying to find out. You will find mention of John Orlando Hopkins on Roger Bissell's web page about Elias Bissell. I've got a second cousin in Kansas who has a few Carne pictures but she hasn't been able to copy them well yet. I have barely begun to explore your website; have you got a gedcom you could send? I'd be glad to draw out a tree of what I know- sending a gedcom is technically problematic at present. I could also send a pdf of the Hopkins family book [about 70 megs on cd] though that is probably of limited interest.    

Thanks,

I have no proof as yet but this is what I have from the IGI
My main family names are KNEALE/CORRIN/ARMSTRONG.
So I looked for my CORRIN names and found: ? my 4th Great Grandfather who was, William CORRIN

he married Christian KERMOD(E) 13th Aug 1780 at Malew.

Christian KERMOD(E) was christened on 13th Feb 1757 at Malew.
Her parents were:
John KERMOD(E) and Margaret KAIGHAN who married on 25th May 1754 at Malew.
John KERMOD(E) above was Christened on the 8th July 1729 at Malew.
Margaret KAIGHAN was born on 7th April 1723 to ? Henry KAIGHAN and Jony COSTEAN (Nowadays

spelt COSTAIN ).
Henry KAIGHAN was born abt 1686 in Kirk German.
Jony COSTEAN born abt 1690 in Kirk German.
As I say, I have no proof of this as yet, but I hope this helps you in any way.
Regards,

Hi Greg,

I found your details on the Genealogy web site and am interested in anything you might be able to tell me

about the Kaighins from the Isle of Man, please?

This is as much as I know at the moment:

Elizabeth Kaighin was my great grandmother, born 1864 Kirk Michael, Isle of Man.  We are not sure about her Mother.  Ellen Kaighin was Elizabeth's grandmother which makes her my great great great grandmother and was

born IOM 1803 but we don't know her maiden name.

Any leads would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Greg,
I have a distant connection to the Kaighin family of Ballacregga, Kirk Michael through son Charles who became heir when his brother John emigrated to America.
 I recommend you read David Craine's book "Manannan's Isle" which contains a LOT of info about this family. Included are several family letters. One written by Jane Kaighin alias Cannell to her son in America when his father died is especially poignant.

Dear Mr. Kaighin
I am researching my grandmother’s family (Ashburner)
.  Her great grandfather was William Ashburner who married Elizabeth Kaighin, (father Thomas Kaighin of Lhergydhoo, German) in 1832.  They had three sons Thomas, Richard and William before moving back to build ships in Barrow in 1844 approx. I'm hoping to get more information on Thomas and his ancestors.

Dear Greg,

I said I would let you know what I found and I have more or less got to the end of his story. My gt. gt. Grandmother Jane Black had 5 children. Eleanor Cannell, I have yet to find her marriage or death. William Cannell my gt. grandfather, both children of William Cannell, from Kirk Michael. Margaret Eda Cannell daughter of John Cannell, from Kirk Michael, Christian Ann Kaighin(who died age 19 years in K.M.) and John James Kaighin children of John Kaighin who married Jane on 7th. October 1883 in K.M.  Eleanor and William had already moved away and the 3 younger ones continued to live with John and Jane until, Christian died in 1894, Margaret Eda married William Hampton of I.O.M. and moved to England. John James Kaighin, the son, remained in K.M. and married Ada Torrance Humphrey they could not have children and adopted 4 Illegitimate children and brought them up in a loving family in K.M.  I am in contact with the son of one of these children who now lives in Yorkshire.  Jane died and was buried in K.M. in 1911 and John Kaighin senior died and was buried in K. M. on 26 January 1917 (plot 69).  It seems William and Margaret Eda remained close family and Eda and her husband visited K.M. annually to stay with family.  So it looks as if this particular Kaighin line died out with John James (junior) who died 13th. February 1951 and is buried with his wife Ada in K. M.  I think this is a wonderful conclusion to what could have been a very sad tale. I have backed all my research with the relative documents so you can rely on the details for further reference if ever you need to. My continuing work now is to find out what happened to Eleanor and trace which particular William and John Cannell were Jane's partner's and whether there was a very good reason for her not marrying earlier. It all takes time.  Thank you for your interest and I keep looking at the I.O.M web site to see if anyone can help me or maybe traveling along similar lines.

Kind regards

 

Shirley

Ballacregga is about 0.5 miles from K Michael village on the Peel Road. It is a farm of about 100 acres and reaches from the sea cliff [many acres lost to sea erosion-- about 1 metre per year] to higher ground called the Cooildarry. The soil is sandy. For most part of the 20c it was farmed by the Corkill family-who were the last farmers in the parish to use draft horses.
