Filling in Gaps & Connections

I notice in the entry under Sir William Hillary that his son Sir Augustus Hillary married Susan Curwen Christian, the eldest daughter of John Christian of Ewanrigg or Unnerigg Hall, Cumberland in 1829. The John Christian link goes to this page, though this biography makes no mention of Ewanrigg, the Christian Family home in Cumberland.

Sir William Hillary settled in the Isle of Man at Fort Anne in 1808 and died in 1847. In 1823, John Christian moved back to the Isle of Man and also lived in Fort Anne. It may simply be that John Christian bought the house of his daughter's father-in-law, though it would be interesting to join up these connections and include it in the biographies of these two men prominent in Manx history.

I am also guessing that the "...ancestral home in Lezayre." is the Christian Manx family home, Milntown.
