I am looking for information on John Carlyle, master mariner of Annan. He was born around
1795 and married an Isabella Graves. They had, as far as I know , three children , Mary ,
John and Thomas. Mary died at 8 years old. John junior died in Rio de Janerio aged about
29 and Thomas was our ancestor.
John senior owned a sloop called The Marquise of Wellington built at the Kelton shipyards.
Earlier , at the time of his marriage he was sailing on the Rosina of Carlisle.
John senior died on a voyage between liverpool and the west coast of scotland in his early
thirties.
Isabella shows up on the 1851 census living in Port Street Annan with son Thomas . My
problem is that I cannot find either John or Isabella's parent's. I have their
marriage certificate from Annan but it doesn't mention parents! Can anybody help?
