Follow the link you were given to Foxdale mines in the parish of Patrick. Did your family
have a German parish address ? Miners walked long distances to the shafts they were working.

hi toni,,as you know the address's were pretty sketchy on the earlier census's,but
the 1841,shows,,,glenrushen
the 1851 shows iom ??
the 1861 shows german
so i sort of guessed they did not move that far,,,the beckworth mine,seemed most probable..
thanks again.
only jus started this line in IOM,so the areas are still a bit of a mystery to me ::) ::) ???

My partner is actually from Foxdale and says as the crow flies from Foxdale to Glenmaye the Rushen mines is much closer to Glenmaye which he thinks falls in the parish of German .
-
Glen Maye is in parish of Patrick.

are refs at www.manxnotebook.com/catalog/b170.htm esp Lamplugh of any use - a fairly comphresensive discussion
the only one I can think that may just have been in Kk German was Cornelly or Townsend Mine but only because there boundary of Kk German has a southward small thrust between Patrick + Marown on northern slope of Archallagan
