Hi Virginia, I live in South Jersey outside Camden.I even have a picture of Bertha somewhere. When I find it I will post it on her Ancestry page and let you know. Can you get on my Tree? It is Penn/Whalen and has all kinds of things on the Bakley's. That is what I am still doing as you can tell from me still being on-line tonight. Yes, I remember Leona. My GrMom was very close to her siblings so as I grew up, I spent some time with the Bakley's.She was the next to youngest child of Franklin and Mary. I have some pics of Mary Groff and Franklin I can send you also. My e-mail is nancywhalen@comcast.net so lets correspond there.

Thank you so much for this info. I thought I would never find any info on Bertha. I did know she was born in 1888. I wished I had asked my Grandmother about her parents. And yes any other information you can share would be great. By the way my name is Virginia. Do you know of a Leonia Bakley? My mom remembers that name. My Dad Bertha's grandson passed away in 1993.
I am so excited!! This is so much fun finding new stuff about your family. My family and I live in Northern New Jersey. Where are you?

Well I hope I hear from you again. And thank you so very much.
Virginia

Just left you a message on the Ancestry message. Please let me know what info you would like on Bertha as she was my grandmother's sister. Her father's name was Franklin Leopold Bakley and mother was Mary C. Groff. Bertha was born Oct 1888 probably in Camden, NJ. She was the first child ( grandmother was second child) with 8 siblings, 3 of which died as children. Let me know if you would like anymore info. I have a little more on the Bakley's and Groff's.

I am looking for a Fred Corkhill. I have very little statistical information to go on. He lived in Ontario, served in the Second World War and was very close with the Brown family. He also apparently died quite young.

Edward Corkhill, age 9 and born in England
is listed in the 1860 Census for Nueces County, Texas

I am not related to this family, just passing on this information. I was actually looking for someone else in this census and noticed this not-so-common name, so I just wanted to share this information with the list. The link for the census is listed below.

Re: Margaret Corlett m. John Corkhill 1817

2005-01-13 14:29:43Z

Unfortunately that's all I know about this Corkhill family. And yes, the name seems to have had many different spellings over the years. There's a site "Manx notebook" that has enormous amounts of information. On the 1871 Liverpool census, living in the household of my 3x great grandparents ( Henry and Catherine Boardman) there was a boarder listed by the name of Edward Corkhill. It states that he was 16, a sailor and born on the IOM. Perhaps he was a relative.

John and Esther CORKILL / CORKHILL of the Lezayre Parish

2005-01-12 10:41:38Z

Hello. I'd just like to repost my interest in the family of John and Esther CORKILL / CORKHILL of the Lezayre Parish (Ramsey) on the Isle of Man.

They had ten children there, and I am descended from their son, Evan CORKILL, one of the oldest. They were married in 1822, and he was born in 1827.

Around 1858, he married Elizabeth QUAYLE (?) in Liverpool, England, and they began living there. Their five children were born there between 1860 and 1871.

Around 1872/1873, Mrs. Elizabeth CORKILL died, and in 1873 the children were placed in the "Liverpool Sheltering Homes." In 1874, they were "shipped to Canada" as "British Home Children." (In England, "child migrants.") When they arrived in Nova Scotia, at Ages 14 to 3 ..., they were separated and each went to live with a different family.

Re: Margaret Corlett m. John Corkhill 1817

2005-01-12 10:37:31Z

Hi Liz. My ancestors were John and Esther CORKILL / CORKHILL, who were married in the Lezayre Parish in 1822. I believe that Ramsey is part of that Parish.

They had ten children there, and my ancestor, Evan CORKILL, was one of their older children. As an adult, he became a Mariner, and he really doesn't appear there in the 1851 Census. Around 1858, he married in Liverpool, England, and moved there. I believe his wife's name was Elizabeth QUAYLE, but I don't know anything about her parents, etc.

I didn't get much research done during 2004. In past years I found out that there were several different CORKILL families living on the Isle of Man during the 1800's, possibly in many of the Parishes. There seems to have been CORKILL's there from the late 1700's.

So far, I have seen the name spelled, CORKILL, CORKHILL, COCKILL, CORNHILL, and CORKHILS.

Good to see Activity on Board !

2005-01-12 10:12:18Z

Hello. I just wanted to say that it is good to see activity on this Message Board.

My CORKILL / CORKHILL's were from the Isle of Man. Evan was born there in 1827. As an adult, he was a Mariner, so I don't know how much time he spent on the IOM. In the 1850's he married in Liverpool, England, and then moved there.

Evan was one of ten children, and I don't remember having found anyone researching them. The parents were John and Esther CORKILL of the Lezayre Parish (near Ramsey).

Evan married an Elizabeth QUAYLE (?), and I haven't found out about her yet.

William Corkhill

MagicLadyMA — 2004-12-09 16:56:05Z

I have located a William Corkhill who resided for some time in Lawrence, MA. He was known to be there in late 1896 and joined the Knights of Phythias in that city. From there he disappears. I cannot locate him prior to 1896 and therefore GUESS he may have immigrated from England, possibly brother of Mary Ellen Corkhill Dunbar, son of William and Elizabeth of Liverpool, England. The younger William would have been aged 21 in 1896. If you find any other information about him, I would appreciate knowing. I own a pocket watch that belonged to him and would like to know more of the history of the former owner.

William Corkhill

MagicLadyMA — 2004-12-09 16:56:05Z

Just got your reply to my previous post concerning William Corkhill who resided for a time in Lawrence, MA. I have little information about him except he was 21 when he lived there and joined the Knights of Pythas. I have a pocket watch with the Knights logo, the name William Corkhill, Lawrence, MA. When I wrote to the current Knights of Phythas, they were able to give me very little information, except what I basically already knew from the watch. However, it is rare for someone to join such an organization and have a pocket watch made or given to them at such an early stage. I thought perhaps a relative may have given it to him? Any other information will be appreciated.

William Corkhill

MagicLadyMA — 2004-12-09 16:56:05Z

Hi Betty
Thanks for the information. I really know nothing at all about "my" William Corkhill other than the Lawrence, MA connection. I am only guessing that he immigrated from England because I can find no references to him prior to the late 1800's and none after.
Corkhill is not a family name, rather I am curious as to the owner of the pocket watch that I bought. I would love to hear if you ever connect young William Corkhill to any of the people you are researching! Thanks again!

I am looking into my family's history through stories and what I've found here I have some info.

First myself. I am Michael Richard Corkhill. I was born 7/13/1976. My Parents are Charles Edward Corkhill and Maria Corazon Sundiam.

My Father was born 10/22/1952. His Parents were Richard Michael Corkhill and Norma Jean Jumps. Under the listing here at Ancestry.com it shows the following Children with no further information
Charles Corkhill (my father)
Robin Corkhill
Sharon Corkhill
Richard Michael Corkhill
Marianne Corkhill
Donna Jean Corkhill

There's one that isn't included here and that's Gary Corkhill. I know he died sometime during the Vietnam era due to a motorcycle accident.

This is where my trail ends. I'm searching for what I can find on the rest of my ancestors. Please Email me at edgelynd@hotmail.com or edgelynd@yahoo.com.

Re: Corkhill Family Tree

2004-04-20 12:02:41Z

Hi Mark. I was just going through my folders of CORKILL / CORKHILL papers, and I discovered someone had sent me Census information on my ancestors.

In 1841 in Ramsey (College St.), Mrs. Esther CORKILL, widow, was living with her children:

John, 15
Evan, 14
Margaret, 10
Robert, 9
Anne, 6
Lewis, 4
Catherine, 1

Children not mentioned on this Census are:

William, should have been ~15
James, should have been ~8

I hear that several different CORKILL / CORKHILL men and/or families moved from the IOM to Liverpool in the mid-1800's.

Re: Corkhill Family Tree

2004-04-20 11:09:17Z

Hello. I thought it would help if I posted the information on my ancestors and some of their children:

Lezayre Parish (Ramsey ??)

John CORKILL married Esther _____ on 9/28/1822

John William CORKILL, born 5/25.1823

Evan CORKILL, born on 3/23/1827 (my gr-gr-grandfather)

Margaret CORKILL, born 5/10/1829

Robert CORKILL, born 11/2/1831

James CORKILL, born 9.25.1833

Margaret Ann CORKILL, born 6/12/1834?? (?)

Anne CORKILL, born on 7/26/1835

Lewis Corkill was born on 9/9/1837

They reportedly had ten children, but I don't have the complete list handy at the moment. I have no proof of any of the above; it is information I found on-line.

I have seen their names spelled both CORKILL and CORKHILL.

(I've also seen it spelled for other people: CORNHILL and COCKILL, etc.)

I would like to find out the parents of John and Esther CORKILL who were married in the Lezayre Parish in 1822.

And, I would like to know if anyone else is researching this family.

Margaret Corlett m. John Corkhill 1817

2003-12-28 16:45:39Z

My 3x great grandmother, Catherine Corlett, had a sister Margaret Corlett who was born abt. 1796 in Ramsey, Isle of Man. Margaret married John Corkhill on Mar. 31, 1817 in Ramsey. They went on to have many children according to the LDS site. I believe they moved to Co. Derry, Ireland because my 2x great grandmother, Eliza Boardman Healey visited from her home in Liverpool. Anything known of this family?

Re: Corkhill Family Tree

2003-11-19 13:37:05Z

Hi Elizabeth. I forgot to mention that, if you want more people to help you, you really need to mention the approximate years when your relatives lived.

For instance, do you know when your great-great-grandfather,
Michael CORKILL, was born? Or, do you know when his children were born?

And, the Benjamin CORKILL, do you know when he might have moved to the USA? And, did he come directly to the USA, or could he have moved to Canada first? Would Benjamin have come to North America in the 1800's or 1900's?

My great-grandmother was born with the name, Mary Elizabeth CORKILL (1858 or 1860 in Liverpool). She and her four younger siblings lost their mother in 1873, and were sent to live in the Liverpool Sheltering Homes. In 1874, all of them were "sent to Canada" as "child migrants."
(In Canada, they are known as "British Home Children." All of them were sent to live in different homes in Nova Scotia.

I believe their father, Evan CORKILL, was still alive, and he re-married a few years later (to another Elizabeth), and they lived in West Derby. He probably didn't have any more children, as he probably was an older man at this time.

Re: Corkhill Family Tree

2003-11-19 13:28:39Z

Hi Elizabeth. Thank you for writing. I just checked the message I posted in 2000, the one you responded to, and I have found new information since then.

Yes, the CORKILL name is on the Isle of Man and goes back to the early 1700's, at least. However, I have found out that it originally goes back to surnames, like McCORKLE. (There is a web site which tells the story of this surname.)

A quick summary of my family is that Evan CORKILL, my great-great-grandfather, was born on the Isle of Man in 1827, the son of John and Esther? CORKILL. They had many children. I have not traced John CORKILL back, but they seem to have been on the Isle of Man going back into the early 1700's.

Evan CORKILL married in the 1850's. He might have married Elizabeth QUAYLE in Liverpool, England, but they don't seem to have been living there at the time. They might have been still living on the IOM. But, they might have moved to Liverpool, as they reportedly had five children born in Liverpool in the 1855 to 1870 timeframe.

(I'm not positive on the QUAYLE surname, although there was a CORKILL / QUAYLE marriage in Liverpool in the 1850's)

If you check my other messages on this CORKILL Message Board, and the one at www.genforum.com
you will find a few other pieces of information.

And, there are other researchers studying this family on the Isle of Man. So, if you use a "search engine" for the name, CORKILL, you will probably find other information.

In my great-grandmother's family, I have found two spellings of the name, CORKILL and CORKHILL. And, I have also seen it spelled .. CORNHILL and COCKILL, etc.

There is a web site for the Isle of Man .. and that Message Board has CORKILL information also.

Corkhill-Catherine-IOM-Liverpool

lizbon — 2003-11-08 02:19:15Z

I THOUGHT that my 3xgreat grandmother's maiden name was HUNT but now it may be CORKHILL. On my 2x great grandmother's(Eliza Boardman Healey Burgess) death cert from NSW, 1925, it states her mother's maiden name as Catherine CORKHILL. The IGI shows her maiden name was HUNT. Census records have her being born on IOM. I see on the boards that CORKHILL is a Manx name. Anyone have a missing Catherine CORKHILL that was born IOM abt 1812-14? She later emigrated to Liverpool and married Henry Boardman in 1840. She died Liverpool 1889.
