The grimshaw, cannell + boyd[boddagh] lines can be traced further back - re Ballaugh see
www.manxnotebook.com - and my summaries of 99% of Ballaugh 18th C wills
according to Constance radcliffe "Shining by the Sea - history of Ramsey" - George Holmes bought hotel in 1873 and ran it for over 20yrs with dau Elizabeth - only the children post 1875 are noted as born on IoM
Elizth Holmes bur Bal 18850515 (address Royal Hotel Ramsey) age 39;george Holmes bur Bal 18940209 age 58 (address Ramsey) - in 1894 Elizth Holmes shown running the Royal - guess the dau. as per constance radcliffe
