Isle of Man / Re: Wade family of Injebreck

Another ref: out of the Newspapers, seems JW was a budding author;
Manx Advertiser January 6th 1820 Preparing for the press
Notes on the Actual State and Capabilities of the Isle of Man by J. Wade Esq of Injebreck and  Druidale Captain of Michael and Master of Arts of the University of Cambridge
Sadly no sign of him in Cubbon's Manx Bibliography, have MS holdings of  MNH been checked? Seems unlikely he had an army career if he was an M A Cantab.?

Isle of Man / Re: Railway House Kirkmichael

Hi
I have rent records for The Railway Cafe, let to Mrs McQuillan 1942 at 16 shillings per week, with tenant paying the rates. In 1946 the rent increased to £12 10s per quarter (£50 per year), in 1949 to £60 per year. The ledger finishes Feb 1953 with the same lady still the tenant. This is the same building  previously operating as The Railway Hotel.

Just spotted your query regarding the Wade family. I probably have quite a bit about the farming activities of John W, it would take time to assemble. However I once spotted an entry in "The Edinburgh Magazine and Literary Miscellany" Volume 81 referring to a birth at Dunmow, Essex on 23 Jan 1818 (?) of a child to "the lady of George Wade, Esq" being her 16th child (with 15 surviving). It adds "the brother of the above-named gentleman (John Wade of Injebreck, Esq, in the Isle ,of Man) has nine children living". It asserted that the 24 children were 12 male and 12 female. This may all be established already!

These Moores are still well remembered on the IOM. They owned an estate called Billown in Malew Parish. They were a long established family but inherited a vast sum from a cousin in NZ Mrs Annie (?) Townsend about 1905.

Billown now property of John Whittaker of Peel Holdings plc etc

Isle of Man / Re: GELL family of Patrick, Isle of Man

My 2x  great grandmother was Elinor Gell, dau of  William Gell of  Ballelby Patrick and Isabella Mylchreest. I did considerable research on the line, including land records, but have never had any contact with other descendants. The family seem to have been money lenders as well as farmers, and had money lent out on mortgage. The W illiam of 1826 was nick-named "King of Dalby" as reported to the Crown Surveyors at the time.
