Had   a  few   spare   minutes   in  Manx   Museum  library  today  &   looked  at   KWC   entry  books----no  sign   of   your
boy , in  the   possible  years.   Some   boys  did  enter  at   10  years.

Hi again
I realized at the time that I was probably looking for that obscure needle in the haystack!! However, I have read a bit about the school as given, and it would be nice to think that maybe ...just maybe... this is where my grandfather went to school!
Many thanks
Cecile

there were many smaller private schools on the Island which took in boarders - eg Victoria College in Douglas
any thing with a Manx Connection
