Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Re: NBI lookup. MacKay
« on: Monday 03 January 05 15:59 GMT (UK)  »
Bingo Sue,

I think I may have found your info for you regarding John & Louisa MacKay.

I found it at the burial indexes at Brian Lawsons website... http://www.lawsons.ca


MACKAY, John  81  Lezayre  9 Feb 1961   
MACKAY, Louisa  67  Lezayre  2 Apr 1958 

Did they have children? If so are they still on the Island? If so, there may still be descendants here. (I live on the IOM)

Regards
Elizabeth

Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 Census
« on: Monday 03 January 05 15:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Christine,
I suggest you write to Brian Lawson who has all the census index and information for the Isle of Man. he is a Manxman who lives in Canada.

Go to his website at http://www.lawsons.ca and from there you can email him direct.... ask him for a census lookup.

Regards

Hullo Audrey,
Brian Kneen is doing a one-name study on Kneens. If you go to his website at www.kneen.com and make contact with him there I am sure he will be able to assist you.

Kind regards

Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Re: Kirk Rushen - Faragher

Keith, if you go to http://www.isleofman.com and click on Manx Genealogy that would be a good place to start.  This bulletin board is a wonderfully fruitful place where you will more than likely link in with others researching the Manx name Faragher.. Len, being one who is always willing to assist.

Also at the same site, you will find http://www.manxnotebook.com which also has copious amounts of info on Manx genealogy, history, and there is a site search engine you can use. 

Brian Lawson's site http://www.lawsons.ca has wills, marriage and burials indexes which are a great boon to researchers also.

Happy hunting.

Isle of Man / Re: HALWARD/HALLWARD

Helen,
The IGI gives no instances of the name Hallward/Halward. It certainly is not a Manx name.

Isle of Man Resources & Offers / Link: IOM Property Owners 1867
« on: Wednesday 20 October 04 13:59 BST (UK)  »
Another useful index site for the Isle of Man is

Isle of Man Property Owners 1867, and index compiled from James Wood's Atlas & Gazetteer of the same period. 

URL: http://www.freewebs.com/woodsatlas1867/

This index was originally created in 1986 and placed on microfiche, which is still available for purchase from MacBeth Genealogical Services of Melbourne, Australia.

Enjoy

Cornwall / Cornish connection with Isle of Man
« on: Saturday 07 August 04 14:15 BST (UK)  »
 ;)Just to let Cornish posters know that there appears to be a strong genealogical connection from early 1800s at least on an occupation basis (leadminers) with the Isle of Man

If you want to check out Manx Genealogy go to http://www.isleofman.com and click on Manx Genealogy to make a posting at the Genealogy Bulletin Board.

Good luck

Elizabeth
