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 5924 Jane C 1632 5925 Margaret C 1634 5926 Ann C 1636 5927 John 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. His Will mentions his sons John (living in Kent), Henry (Harry) and Richard and his daughter Margaret who was married to Thomas Gell with three children Margery, John and Jony. 1.2.1.1 Joney Maddrell (5922) was born circa 1630. She married Henry Corkish circa 1650. She was mentioned in the Will of her mother–in–law Jane Taylor, above. 1.2.1.1.1 The name of her father has not been established but her mother was Jane Corkish. She died in late 1699. Her Will mentions her children Richard, Margaret, Joney and John, her grandson Thomas Watterson, her brother John and Kathrin Qualtrough and Chris: Karran. 1.2.2 Jane Corkish (5924) was born circa 1632 1.2.3 Margaret Corkish (5925) was born circa 1634 1.2.4 Ann Corkish (5926) was born circa 1636 1.2.5 John Corkish (5927) was born circa 1638 Printed: Tuesday, 12th February, 2008 © Brian Lawson 1999, 2005 1 - 4 Corkish - Diirect Family History, Volume IV 1.2.6 Mary Corkish (5928) was born circa 1640. She married Thomas Quork circa 1665. She was buried at Malew on the 6th of January, 1699–1700. Her Will mentions her husband, Thomas, and children Jane and William, both of age. 1.2.7 Catherine Corkish (5929) was born circa 1642. 1.3 The Children of Henry Corkish & Joney Maddrell continued from 1.2.1 and 1.2.1.1 Number & Name Type & Birthdate Place/Notes 5874 John C 1655 Rushen 5641 Joney C 1658 Rushen 5930 Henry C 1660 Rushen 5638 Richard C 1662 Rushen 5639 Jane C 1664 Rushen 5640 Margaret C 1666 Rushen Note: The birth order has not yet been definitely established. 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. Mentioned in his mother’s Will. 1.3.2 Joney Corkish (5641) was born circa 1658. She was named in her mother’sWill of 1699 together with Thomas Watterson. 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. She seems to have died before 1728 as she is not mentioned as a supervisor to her niece and nephews on the death of her brother Richard in 1729. © Brian Lawson, 1999, 2005 Printed: Tuesday, 12th February, 2008 Family History, Volume IV Corkish - Direct 1 - 5 1.3.6 Margaret Corkish (5640) was born circa 1666.She married … Gell. 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. This means she married probably no later that 1710. 1.4 The Children of Henry Corkish & ... continued from 1.3.3 Number & Name Type & Birthdate Place/Notes 1075 Henry C 1675 Rushen 1.4.1 Henry Corkish (1075) was born circa 1675, probably in the parish of Rushen. 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.

  • Manx Gaelic and Physics, a Personal Journey, by Brian Stowell
    keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man.

A number of such texts have already appeared in print, others appear here for the first time. This article seeks to bring all such known texts together under one roof in order to serve the interests of various fields of study concerned with traditional lyric-text material. Keywords: Native Manx speakers; songs; rhymes; chants; end-phase of Manx 1. Introduction The purpose of this article is to present the raw material of the songs, rhymes and chants found in and recorded from Manx tradition from the last native Manx speakers between 1883 and 1972 and to make it available to scholars as a resource. Manx Gaelic is one of the Insular Celtic languages that in recent times experienced language obsolescence, and has thereby attracted interest from scholars at an early date in the recent history of language and linguistic research.

  • Continuity and Hybridity in Language Revival: the Case of Manx CHRISTOPHER LEWIN Aberystwyth University, Wales
    Language in Society, page 1 of 29. doi:10.1017=S0047404521000580 Continuity and hybridity in language revival: The case of Manx CHRISTOPHER LEWIN Aberystwyth University, Wales ABSTRACT This article presents a typology of phonological, morphosyntactic, and lexical features illustrative of factors conditioning the usage of speakers and writers of Revived Manx, including substratal influence from English; language ideologies prevalent within the revival movement, especially forms of linguistic purism; and language-specific features of Manx and its orthography. Evidence is taken primarily from a corpus of Revived Manx speech and writing. The observed features of Revived Manx are situated within Zuckermann’s(2009, 2020) framework of ‘hybridization’ and ‘revival linguistics’, which takes Israeli Hebrew as the prototypical model of revernacularization of a non-L1 language. However, Manx arguably pro- vides a more typical example of what to expect when a revived minority lan- guage remains predominantly an L2 for an indefinite period, with each new cohort of speakers able to reshape the target variety in the absence of a firmly established L1 norm. (Manx, Celtic, language revival, language ideology, language shift, language contact)* INTRODUCTION This article presents a brief description and analysis of some of the categories of linguistic features found in contemporary Manx, by which present-day usage may diverge from the norms of the traditional language. Manx today is a revived Celtic language with no traditional native speakers. According to Zuckermann (2009, 2020) and Zuckerman & Walsh (2011), languages revived initially as an L2, such as Israeli Hebrew, inevitably have a permanent ‘hybrid’ character, blend- ing the substrate of the L1 of the ‘founder generation’ of revivalists with forms and patterns incompletely assimilated from the target language—even if they then become a fully vernacularized mother tongue of subsequent generations.
