Title: Captain William Henry Kitto my Great Grandfather who came from the Isle of Man
Post by: Peterbarrow on Tuesday 19 May 15 19:50 BST (UK)
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?

Hi,

Welcome to RootsChat  :).

Biography
He was also an MHK and Justice of the Peace.
MHK - Members of the House of Keys

That's the only bit of info regarding his biography (that I can see  :) )
