Trying to find an address in Sandy Gate, Jurby

[AnotherJackson]

I'm not familiar with the IOM and am really struggling with the names. I am trying to find a house the Quayle family (John Caesar and Eleanor Ann) lived in in Sandy Gate (Sandygate), Jurby. It has been listed as Close Ruishe and Close Rooish. I have also seen on the death certificate for Florence Quayle, their daughter, that she died at Clanagh Road, Sandy Gate. I'm not sure if that could be the same place or not but I thought I'd mention it in case there were any pointers there!

If any one has any ideas I'd be very grateful.

Thank you, Amy

Hi

What is the timescale - current or last century?

EDIT - looking at the census - appears to be pre and post 1911 

Both 1901 and later just show Sandygate.  Looking at the 1901 entry - several others have the same address and some also show "Cottage" Sandygate

Thanks CaroleW. I have a copy of Florence's marriage and death certificate, both from 1905. One says Close Ruishe and the other is Clanagh Road but I'm led to believe she died at her family's house. I'd love to be able to pinpoint the house and know if it's still there but they don't seem big on details!
Google maps doesn't even recognise the road!

There's an entry in "Placenames of the Isle of Man"

Sheading of Michael (Kirk Michael, Ballaugh & Jurby)
Close Rush - Close Ruish, Close Rooish, Close Rudh, Sandygate, Jurby.
Entry says "see also Close Ruy"

Close Ruy. On Cleaynagh Road just S of Gollane. Also called Close Rush.

Thank you KGarrad that's fab! I was just posting to say I'd found it on https://www.gov.im/maps/ which is far more helpful than Google maps!
Your description ties in with where it is on that map and all the extra ways of spelling it will come in handy I'm sure.
The house is still there Don't know why but it always seems much more real to me if I can see where they lived.

I had just rushed from the ground floor at Douglas Library, down to the basement, in order to check some maps!

The Ordnance Survey Outdoor Leisure Map, shows Clannagh Road as the A14, running south from Sandygate.

Gollane appears to be a building on the east side of the road,, halfway to the Lhen Trench?

And there is a building marked on the west side of the road, right where the Lhen Trench crosses it.

Have to go now, as library closing!

You're an absolute super star! Thank you and apologies for the extra exercise!
The map I found online has Close Ruishe as the building on the West side of that road, North of the tench but not by much.
Thank you again, your help is really appreciated.
