On 17 December 1699 Thomas Crie was living in the household of Alexander Crie and Alexander Crie in Cala-fountain, Forteviot, Perthshire. Callarfountain is shown on the current 1:25000 scale OS map at Grid Ref 102208 with Hilton Hill a few hundred metres to its NW. It is little more than 2 km from the centre of Perth and in Forgandenny parish but was formerly a detached part of Forteviot parish. Groome's Gazetteer of Scotland says, under Forgandenny, "In 1891 the Boundary Commissioners transferred to Forgandenny parish the Hilton detached part." Under Forteviot, Groome mentions, "the Hilton section, immediately W of Craigend village, and 2 miles ENE of the main body [of Forteviot...]". What is important for us if that this Hilton portion is N of the River Earn with no crossing place for some distance and so in effect detached from both Forteviot and Forgandenny. It is in fact just along the road from Aberdalgie parish.¹ Thomas Crie was baptised on 17 December 1699 in Forgandenny, Perthshire, Scotland.¹ He was the son of Alexander Crie.

His son Thomas Crie was baptised on 15 February 1725 in Kirkton of Mailer, Forteviot, Perthshire, Scotland; No mother's name is recorded but the baptism in Forteviot and the marriage of the father Thomas Crie in Forteviot suggest that Margaret Lenie was his mother.

There appear to be an error here, namely that her father was in fact William, not John, Jamieson.²

Jane Rachael McMahon was born in 1812 or 1813 in Dublin, Ireland.¹ She was the daughter of James McMahon and Isabella Edmonds.

Her father James McMahon died on 29 January 1814.^2,3

On 7 June 1841 Jane Rachael McMahon was living in the household of Charles Cowle and Isabella Edmonds in Balagaue, Andreas, Isle of Man, along with Mary Ann Cowle, Eliza Cowle, Charles Hamilton Edmonds Cowle, Edward Edmonds Cowle and Isabella Ellen McMahon. Mary Ann was shown as Margaret, but at 20 years old she must be the same. Ages however seem to have been rounded down to the next 5 years. All were born in the Isle of Man except Isabella Cowle and her daughter Isabel McMahon, who were born in Ireland. Missing from the household were James Terence McMahon and Jane Rachael McMahon who were now about 30 years old.⁴

On 30 March 1851 Jane Rachael McMahon was living in the household of Charles Cowle and Isabella Edmonds in Ballaghaue House, Andreas, Isle of Man, along with Mary Ann Cowle, Eliza Cowle and Charles Hamilton Edmonds Cowle. Charles was aged 61 and "Farming 217 acres employing 6 labourers." Jane was his step-daughter aged 38, unmarried and a "Lieutenant's daughter." Mary, 32, Eliza, 31, and Charles H E Cowle, 29, were all unmarried. Also living in the household were various staff.^1,5

On 7 April 1861 Jane Rachael McMahon was living in the household of Charles Hamilton Edmonds Cowle in Ballaugh, Isle of Man, along with Mary Ann Cowle. Charles was "Farming 220 acres employing 9 men/2 boys." This seems likley to be the 220 acres farmed by his father in 1851. His step-sister Jane, 49, and sister Mary, 42, were unmarried.^6,7

On 3 April 1881 Jane Rachael McMahon was living in the household of Mary Ann Cowle in Ballakaneen, Andreas, Isle of Man, along with Eliza Cowle. Mary, 65, and Eliza, 61, were "retired farmer's daughters" whereas Jane, 72, was a "retired Doctor's daughter." This belies her description as Mary's sister and confirms that she was her sister-in-law.⁸

Jane Rachael McMahon died on 3 December 1882 in Andreas, Isle of Man. Her birth date was given as 1808 but this must be suspect as it is at variance with several censuses. Her occupation was housekeeper.⁹

A reredos in the chancel of the Parish Church, Andreas, Isle of Man, was erected by Eliza Cowle in November 1893 in memory of her parents Charles Cowle and Isabella Edmonds and of her brothers and sisters, including James Terence McMahon, Edward Edmonds Cowle, Isabella Ellen McMahon, Mary Ann Cowle and Eliza Cowle. This is clear evidence that all those named had died by November 1893 and that Eliza was then still alive.¹⁰
