The Descendants of John Beddow Kaighin and Annie Castleman

~ The Ballakaighin and Corvalley Kaighin branch

Legend

Family	A unique number I have assigned to each family in my database. They are sequenced by date or approximate date of the first marriage.
Corr Family (Corresponding)	Follow this number to the corresponding family either up a generation or down a generation. The first entry in each family grouping is the marriage record. So the Corresponding Family number will be the family that the father of that family came from. A number in the Corresponding Family column next to a child indicates the subsequent family he produced. A secondary purpose of this column is to indicate a continuation or an end of the Kaighin line in that branch. - “UNKNOWN” means no link to the previous generation found. - “Name” means the female married a non-Kaighin male, see the “Spouse” column. I.e., “Carran” means that female married into the Carran family. - “infant”, “child”, “teenager” indicates early death. - “Illegitimate”. If the father is known, his last name will be in the “notes” column if it is not Kaighin. - “no issue”. Indicates no children - “unmarried” – Self Explanatory. - In the case of multiple marriages by a male, there will be multiple numbers like “1350 / 1380” - In the case of multiple marriages by a female, there will be multiple names
Fam Date	The date of marriage if available. If not, then an approximate date prior to the birth of the known first born. If the letter “p” follows the date, this means “prior to”.
First Name	Self explanatory. I’ve conventionalized all names to avoid duplicity and ambiguity. It also helps when sorting the data if all like names are spelled the same. Example, Elizabeth, Beth, Liz, Lizzie, etc., are all spelled Elizabeth. Many times, the same person will have their name spelled multiple ways on different records or events. All variations will eventually be added to either the “notes” column or the “IGI Christian Name Spelling” column. - A side note about the surnames John and Joseph. Prior to about the middle of the 19^th century, I could find no Kaighins in the Isle of Man with the surname Joseph. However there are many entries in the IGI with that name. Without exception, all Josephs prior to 1850 or thereabouts turned out to be Johns. Every one of them had a corresponding entry of “John” in the IGI. This is due to a transcription misinterpretation probably by the IGI transcriber. In early records, John was very often written as “Jo”.
M/F	Male, Female, Husband, Wife or Unmarried
Event	B=Birth, C=Christening, M=Marriage, U=Unmarried
Date	Date of event
Death / Burial	If I found the date of both events, I always listed the date of death.
Father First	Self explanatory (Surname of father is assumed to be Kaighin. Any variations in surname spelling will eventually be added in either the “notes” column or the “IGI surname spelling” column.)
Mother Last	Self explanatory. There were often multiple spellings of the same surname, so I always used the spelling that was used in the majority for that individual.
Mother First	Self explanatory. Spelling is also conventionalized in this column for sorting purposes.
Spouse	Self explanatory. There were often multiple spellings of the same surname, so I always used the spelling that was used in the majority for that individual.
Location	Location of the event.
Of	Place or Places individual was (or is) known to have lived
Emigration	If emigrated, lists sequence of stops if known.
Notes and Sources	Sources listed here as well as anything else I found pertinent or interesting. As of July 2, 2005 I am still annotating my sources in the databases, so all sources are not yet listed. In any web pages I create using the database, all email address have had the “@” removed and replaced with “#”. This hides email address from spam “spiders” that search web pages for email addresses.

One of the sources I used for the first three generations below is the work of Archibald Bennett. Click here to review his manuscript. This family can be traced back at least three generation prior to what I have listed, but I still am having problems verifying sources for these families. Some of Bennett’s conclusions do not match records and wills that I have from the same period so I will not include it here.

Family 3800 is not the earliest generation that I can go back with your branch. However, since the parents in Family 3800 are third cousins, it gets very confusing so I’ve omitted the previous generations. There are also some questions about the links in these earlier families so they may be inaccurate. My link to you is with Eleanor’s (in family 3800) great grandfather.

If you are having any problems deciphering any of this let me know. I’d be happy to walk you through this over the phone.

And anything in red below is information that I don’t have or I doubt its accuracy. If you find anything in red that you know the correct information about, please let me know.
