1851 Census: household of Ann Callister
Ann, remarried, with two sons from her first marriage — one recorded under a puzzling name.

Household of Ann Callister, schedule 26, [Carrin], parish of Lezayre
| Name | Relationship | Condition | Age | Occupation | Birthplace |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ann Callister | Head | Married | 35 | Shoemaker's wife | Isle of Man, Arbory |
| John Quayle | Son | Unmarried | 10 | At home | Isle of Man, Andreas |
| Edward Quayle | Son | Unmarried | 5 | At home | Isle of Man, Andreas |
Continuous transcription: [Carrin] — Ann Callister, head, married, aged 35, shoemaker's wife, born Andreas; John Quayle, son, unmarried, aged 10, at home, born Andreas; Edward Quayle, son, unmarried, aged 5, at home, born Andreas.
Notes on transcription
- The residence looks like "Carrin," though the ending is compressed; retained as [Carrin] pending comparison with other records.
- Ann's occupation, "Shoemaker's wife," matches William Callister being recorded as a shoemaker at their 1850 marriage.
- Ann's birthplace is explicitly Arbory; both boys are listed as born in Andreas.
There is an intriguing discrepancy here: the younger child is recorded as Edward Quayle, aged five, whereas the known daughter Catharine Ann Quayle, baptised in November 1845, would also have been about five — and William Edward Quayle (baptised 1842) should be around eight or nine but does not appear at all. The census clearly describes this person as a son and places the age in the male column, so it would be unsafe to substitute Catharine's identity without supporting evidence: the enumerator may have made an error, or this may be a different child not otherwise documented in this collection.
