You need to give the plot number if you know it. Braddan is one of the largest grveyards
in the IOM.
Have you checked that there is a headstone?

Many thanks for your prompt reply
Sadly I do not know the plot number all I know is that his obituary was in the Isle of Man Times on 29th April 1899 saying internment was in Braddan cemetery.
I feel sure he would have had a headstone as he was an influential business man who at one time lived in Ballasalla House, Ballasalla. Family gossip always said there was a stone and I just hoped that in this digital age someone might be able to photograph it for me.
Many thanks

Try posting a request on www.isleofman.com/Community/Genealogy.aspx
This message board has several members who may do a look up for you in their personal
copies of IOMFHS Burial & Monumental Inscription Indexes copied in graveyards by members years
ago.
Then there is a kind soul who does often photograph graves. She needs the plot reference--
as I mentioned Braddan graveyards are large.
