Message Board Post:
My grandmother was Clara Jane Kelly (from Kirk Michael) who married Seymore K. Cannell (of
Marown). After they were married they went to live on the Ballagloney farm in Marown. The
farm had been in the family even in the time of the Russian Wheat Famine. Because of the
famine my grandparents began growing wheat and that's where they made their money.
When my father did his research (he was an academic) he traces the family back through the
maiden names in the family as well so the info I have is quite extensive. He also went
back to the IOM and searched parish records and went to graveyards so his work is
extensive.
I don't know how this ancestry works but I am not a subscriber and since I have all
the family trees I'm not really going to become a subscriber. I'm going out of
town for Christmas and will probably lose my free access to the site. My phone number is
604 469 9995 in case we lose contact. I'll check the site by webmail but with
Christmas activities it might be sporatic. Bye for now. Attaching photo of Seymore, Clara
and family at the Ballaglonney farm at Marown.
