See: Rita Christian Browne, collector & compiler, Misc. Genealogical Papers, 10 September 1945, Manx Museum, Isle of Man: per AW Moore & notes in AW Moore's 
handwriting collected by Rita Christian Brown, collection in the Manx Museum: Daniel is the brother of Illiam Doan OR of Illiam Doan's father Deemster Ewan 
Christian. HOWEVER, per will of Daniel's mother Christian Brew, his father is Patrick Christian (who died 1632, married Christian Brew 1608, so Patrick 
probably born about 1585 or earlier), and Patrick may have been a brother of Deemster Ewan Christian. --- JM Oates.
