Sarah Looney came to the US as an infant from the Isle of Man.  She married Thomas Caley also from the Isle of Mann.  It is clear they raised Lydia Caley but not likely that these are her parents.  It is more likely that Lydia was orphaned at age 3 but the Evos. Sarah and Thomas either legally or informally adopted Lydia.  She is the Grand Mother of Bernice McCallister.
