Kit and Macbev, thankyou both, more information I didn't have.
Yes, there was a James. I have Ann 1818, John 1821-1901, Ellin 1823, Elizabeth 1825 (prob died young) William 1828-1860, Thomas 1830,Elizabeth Jane 1833, Benjamin 1835, Joseph Edwards (sic)1837 and James 1840.
Yes, there is a parallel family with similar first names. They are related I am sure, but have not worked out how. William Sayle says in a letter I have had no news of Charles, but of course doesn't specify who Charles is.
I have more biographical information from the Manx Museum site that when William Sayle died "his further descendants went to New Zealand and the farm (Larivane) was finally sold in 1930" . I wish I could find his will to work out who they might be.
