Hello Betty

I have checked the LCR for EVAN CORKILL and the only one that I could see
that looked likely was for an EDWARD CORKHILL who was born 1831 in Ramsey.
There is a Ramsey on the Isle of Man, so it is possibly the same man. He
passed for his certificate in Liverpool in 1855.

Trust that this is of assistance.

Regards Jim & Christine
