Baptism

[galajune]

Hello.
Where will I find my grandmother's baptism in Peel ?.
Also where can I find how long my gran & her family stayed at an address in Peel from 1895 to 1900?.

 Why I'm asking now is because myself & my partner are camping in Peel & Laxey from 20th June to July, So I thought if I do get some answers from you kind people, then we have plenty of time to go where the answers are.

Thank you for your time

Best Regards,

You should check the Civil Registry at Deemsters Walk, Bucks Road, Douglas
www.gov.im/registries/general/civilregistry/welcome.xml

or

the microfilm copies at The Manx Museum
www.gov.im/mnh


Just remember that Peel comes under German parish!

is it baptism or civil birth record you want - civil reg started 1877
For Civil Birth recs the Manx Museum has indices but you will need to get a certificate from General Registry - this will cost.
If it is the baptism then if in C of E the museum has film, if in methodist chapel then probably still with Methodists but ask at Museum - or if Roman Catholic then Museum might have these (depends on year) - advise getting bus into Douglas (Museum opens all days other than Sunday 10-5pm - Registry Mon-Fri but closes earlier)

Finding out where they stayed etc is not that easy apart from Census years - the 1901 census + all earlier ones are held by Museum (but not the 1911)

Hi . Thanks for your reply ..it's a baptism as I already have the birth cert , my gran was born in Charles St, Peel 1895 and her brother was born 1892 in South Quay, Douglas. ( it's no longer there as I was told last March ).
So, There's no chance of finding out where the family were living after 1895 to 1900 ?.

Where is the Museum ?,
I last visited IoM in 1956

Do you know where they were in 1901 ? - you might (just might) get an address from a newspaper entry of a birth etc - there was the Peel City Guardian in this period that might help - the new iMuseum (open Weds thru Sat) just down from Museum offers a search of the newspapers which are now digitised and searchable - however not sure if Peel City Guardian included but all papers still on microfilm at Museum - however it sounds as if they rented for which few if any records exist - if they owned property then much easier as all property transfers have to be officially noted  - can't recall just when the Museum records stop and you need ask at General Registry but it is c. 1900) but I think Charles street was mostly rented

Museum - up above St Thomas's - think of strand street (main shopping street) go right to end away from sea terminal then turn left and start climbing the steep hill (Crellin's hill) - if you look at the plan at www.manxnotebook.com/towns/douglas/windsorp.htm then the museum occupies the area shown as finchhill cottage - the Sefton hotel occupies the plaots named Marina house etc on the sea front - there is a carpark in Chester street (by side of shoprite) which has a lift to 8th floor and then a bridge across the road that save the steep climb.

Yes, I do know where they were in 1901...they were back in Blackburn. Lancashire, without my gran's father, we think he did a runner and he's nowhere to be founded...I did look up on Manx deaths and he's not there

They were in rented houses .

We interesting to visit the museum .

Thank you so much and you have been a great help 
 I will print all your messages and the map so I won't forget...I don't have a good memories , lol

As an ex-Manxie (well, OK! a comeover!!) I concur with Frances_mnb.

It is a VERY steep hill, so park in Chester Street car park if you have a car.
In any case take the lift to 8th floor - Museum is signposted in the car park!
