Wade family of Injebreck

I can't find any Manx ref to a 'Colonel' but in the 1790's there were many local militias established (inc on IoM) that give such titles to the landed gentry that ran them.  He looks as tho on Island well before 1812 (most of the land sales are c. 1809) as Quayle acknowledges him as a source of information for his 1812 "Agriculture of the IoM"
