He married Jane Taylor circa 1620. See 1.2 for details of his descendants. 1.1.2 Jane Taylor (5923) was born circa 1595. She married John Korkish circa 1620. She died in 1659–60. Her Will states her name as “Jane Taylor alias Korkish”. This appears to be an early convention by which the maiden name was stated followed by the married name. See 1.2 for details of her descendants. The Will of Jane Korkish names 7 children, a daughter–in–law, a grand–daughter Joney and a grandson, John. This grandson would appear to be the John Corkish (see 1.3.1 below) that moved to Kent and made a claim in October of 1716 for the balance of his inheritance from his grandmother. This would indicate that he was born before the end of 1659 and that consequently his father was born no later than 1640. 1.2 The Children of John Korkish & Jane Taylor continued from 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 Number &Name Type & Birthdate Place/Notes 5635 Henry C 1630 Rushen 5924Jane C 1632 5925 Margaret C 1634 5926Ann C 1636 5927John C 1638 5928 Mary C 1640 5929 Catherine C 1642 NOTE: The birth order has not yet been definitely established, but it seem likely that Henry was the eldest son if not the eldest child. He appear to be the only child who was married at the death of his mother in 1660. 1.2.1 Henry Corkish (5635) was born circa 1620. He married Joney Maddrell circa 1650. He died in 1715. His Will states that he was from Balla Corkish and there is a burial of Harry Corkish on the 11th of January, 1715, at Rushen. See 1.3 for details of his descendants.

It is known that John was alive in 1660. 1.3.1 John Corkish (5874) was born circa 1655. He moved to Kent. He was a benificary under the Wills of his grandmother, Joney Taylor, and his father. On the 23rd of October, 1716, John Corkish of Kent enters a claim for goods due to him under the Will of his grand–mother, Jane Taylor alias Corkish. The claim is for one fourth of the estate.

She was not mentioned in her father’s Will of 1715. However, a grandaughter, Margaret Waterson, is mentioned in the Will which may indicate that Joney had married and was then dead. 1.3.3 Henry Corkish (5930) was born circa 1650. He was not mentioned in the Will of his grandmother in February of 1660 which probably means that he was not yet born. He is presumed to have farmed at Surby, to have married and had at least one son, Henry. See 1.4 for details of his descendants. 1.3.4 Richard Corkish (5638) was born circa 1662. He married Jane Harrison on the 14th of June, 1718, at Rushen. He died on the 28th of March, 1728, and was buried on the 4th of April at Rushen. See 1.45 for details of his descendants. He was mentioned in his mother’s Will. His Will names his three children Harry, Richard and Catherine. As they were underage at his death, brother Henry and sisters Joney and Margaret were appointed supervisors. 1.3.4.1 Jane Harrison (5642) was born circa 1665. She married Richard Corkish on the 14th of June, 1718, at Rushen. After the death of Richard she married a second time to William Harrison on the 29th of July, 1732, at Arbory. She was buried at Arbory on the 23rd of July, 1745. See 1.45 for details of her descendants. William Harrison married Jane Corkish (als Harrison) on the 29th of July, 1732, at Arbory. He was not mentioned in his wife’s Will of 1745. Possible burial 3 Nov 1743 at Arbory. 1.3.5 Jane Corkish (5639) was born circa 1664.

Three of her children, Margery, John and Joney, are mentioned in the Will of her father in 1715. She is mentioned in her mother’s Will of 1699.

He is known to have farmed at Surby Moar. He is presumed to have married (though the name of his wife has not yet been determined) as his Decree of 1760 mentions his two children. A wife is not mentioned and is presumed to have pre-deceased him. He died in 1759 and was buried on the 2nd of September at Rushen. See for details of his descendants. 1.5 The Children of Henry Corkish & ... continued from 1.4.1 Number &Name Type & Birthdate Place/Notes 1076 John C 1700 Rushen 5989 Joney C 1705 Rushen 1.5.1 John Corkish (1076)was born in the parish of Rushen in approximately 1700. He married firstly Mary Cottier on the 5th of February, 1725, at Rushen and secondly Isabel Costain (see 13.3.7) on the 16th of December, 1732, at Rushen. This also was a second marriage for Isabel. He was appointed joint administrator of his father’s estate in 1760. John died in 1775 and was buried at Rushen on the 27th of August. See 1.6 and 1.8 for details of his descendants. The Will of Mary Cottier, February 1731, records the names of her three children, all underage. (Did she die in childbirth?) Three supervisors are appointed for the children, namely John, Ann and Margaret Cottier, presumeably her brother and sisters. Margaret Cottier was married to Thomas Taylor. In May of 1732 the supervisors agreed that the goods of Mary Cottier should be placed in the hand of the father, John, who gave as pledges his own father, Henry Corkish, and Edward Waterson. The marriage contract between John and Isabel Costain confirms the name of John’s father, Henry. The fact that no mention is made of Isabel’s parents would indicate that they were dead at this time. 1.5.1.1 Mary Cottier (4770) was born circa 1700. She may have had a brother, John, and sisters Ann and Margaret, as these three names are mentioned as supervisors to her children at her death. Her parents have not yet been identified. She married John Corkish on the 5th of February, 1725, at Rushen. She died on the 18th of December, 1731, and was buried the next day at Rushen. See 1.6 for details of her descendants. 1.5.2 Joney Corkish (5989) was born circa 1705. She married John Cubbon on the 15th of July, 1727, at Rushen. She was appointed joint administrator with her brother of her father’s estate in 1760 but relinquished her rights to her brother.
