I'm looking for some information or pictures other than what is on the Internet of my a Great Grandfather who came from the Isle of Man. I've just been to the island and was lucky enough to find his grave as well as two other graves of the family. If anyone thinks they have links to this family I would be happy to pass on what I have found. Thank you :)

Manx Heritage (www.imuseum.im) has a biography, which includes a picture?
And also a studio portrait.
Have you seen these?

Thank you yes I have seen the photo but couldn't bring up the biography. :-[
