The Isle of Man, England is the home of many CORKAN family for many generations.

1888 Isle of man, death record.. "Jane Corkan 41, born abt 1847, from Peel, died 27 Sept. 1888 at Kirk German, Isle of Man."

1891 English CENSUS Isle of Man, Home for Orphan and destitute children, England .. "John R. Corkan 19,.. Jane E. Corkan 16, sister,.. Margaret Corkan 13, sister,.. Florence Corkan 9, sister." Margaret's family. It looks like her brother was trying to raise her at age 19,.. If so, it fits with the (Home Children) info below.

Margaret Corkan immigrated to Canada from England at approximate age 15!, see Home Children info 1893, below.. According to an 1891 census of the Lunatic Asylum of Christ church of Lancaster, England.. "John Corkan" was a 58 year old married labourer patient there. IF this is the correct John Corkan, is this why Margaret was sent to Canada?

1893 British Home Children immigration web site.. "contains a photo too large to see many of the children's faces, but in that photo labeled Quarrier Party, Carthaginian, June 6, 1893,.. is Maggie Corkin." Home Children was a child migration scheme founded by Annie MacPherson in 1869, under which more than 100,000 children were sent from the United Kingdom to Canada & elsewhere. Later research, beginning in the 1980s, exposed abuse and hardships of the relocated children.

The British Home Children Registry lists; Maggie Corkan (b.~1878) and Florence Corkan (b.~1881), a probable sister.
