William Corlett

It appears after reading the probate of William, that he may have been ill in the last years of his life, as it mentions that he died in the Lunatic Asylum in Braddan. This was the Ballamona Hospital which catered for all types of illness.

The death and burial register list William's age as 70, but from records he really was aged 72.

No death notice located at this stage via the iMuesum online newspapers.

When research was undertaken many years ago on the Ancestors of William Corlett born c 1825 and Married to Eleanor Cowley, his parents were listed as William Corlett and Jane Cowlle.

With the use of new records available for research now, I have discovered that this set of parents and therefore previous generations back, are incorrect.
I have used the Census of 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 to assist with establishing the now correct parents of William Corlett. Also further records have become available via the familysearch site to assist with this change as well.

Please contact me regarding any of this research if you have queries or want further information provided.
