Further back in time to…. 1650


The parents and grandparents of Thomas of around 1755 are speculative and not validated. I spent time checking background research on several parents who named their child Thomas Quine around this time. I eliminated the other potentials based on information recorded about their families in later times and was left with this couple whom I believe are probably the parents of our Thomas Quine.

The Quine Family – Level 8
John Quine
Married 27 Oct 1741 at Onchan
Isobel Creech born 16 Feb 1718 at Braddan,
Their children, all baptised Braddan:
Alice, 2 Jan 1742
John, 4 Apr 1745 (probably died before 1748)
John, 27 Mar 1748 (married Margaret Clague, Children Margaret born 7 Jan 1781 Braddan, John born 5 Nov 1786 Braddan)
*Thomas, 3 Apr 1753 (married Isabel Corkill?)
Margaret, 27 Feb 1757
Isabel, 3 Feb 1760
Patrick, 30 Jan 1763
Isabel of 1718 married when she was 7 months pregnant. There is a 21 year gap between first and last child. This is acceptable as she was still only 45 years of age when her last child Patrick was born. It seems strange that there is a three year gap between all seven children. The odds of this being just a coincidence are quite high. There is a record of an Isabel Quine alias Creetch buried Braddan 30 Jan 1798, this is probably her entry.

The Mormon site contains entries for the parents of John Quine’s wife Isobel Creech that can take us back further. The surname was spelt as Creetch in that age.
