The First Kerrowglass Branch

The Kaighin Descendants of John Kaighin and Elizabeth Nicholl

Editor’s Note. This branch of Kaighins has been updated. It is now a consolidation of my branch and what I have referred to on this website as “The Other Cleveland” branch. Newly discovered information has led me to prove that the ancestors of “The Other Cleveland Branch” were not Thomas Kaighin and Margaret Quayle as previously stated on this website and as shown on the Florence Lyon Genealogy Chart which some members of this branch are in possession of, and a copy of which is also deposited in the Manx Museum in Douglas. The parents of John Kaighin, emigrant and husband of Eleanor Cannell were John Kaighin and Elizabeth Nicholl of Kerrowglass, Kirk Michael. They were also the parents of my GGG Grandfather Charles Kaighin. More research still needs to be done on this branch, so this page is not complete. If you would like to be notified about any changes to this page or new information regarding this branch, please email me.

Legend

Family	A unique number I have assigned to each family in my database. They are roughly sequenced by date or approximate date of the first marriage.
Parent Family	Follow this number to the corresponding family either up one 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 Child 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 “13500 / 13800” - In the case of multiple marriages by a female, there will be multiple names
Child Family	Subsequent Kaighin family produced in the male line.
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.
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.
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 Information	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.
Memo, Notes and Sources	Sources listed here as well as anything else I found pertinent or interesting. As of April 29^th 2007 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.
