Manx family history

HERE is a link to a gigantic relative on the Isle of Man of my slim 5'8" husband . . .  The Caleys married into his Quayle line, hence he's related, though fairly distantly.  I've not dug into that properly yet, but it's one of the bits of oral family history handed down through the family.  I'm working on the Manx lines at the moment.  Still hoping to find the "four brothers" which is also a snippet passed down.


I was good and didn't allow myself to be tempted.

One line which is a complete dead end from the start, back in Manchester, is the marriage to a "Mary Evans from Wales." Yeah sure, there are thousands of those out there, and not even a date of birth!



I have a few bits of William Morris design pottery at home, gifts from the girls.  Some tempting things here too but I walked on by.


Anyway, I need to gird my loins and do some painting.  I'll try and add a few photos of the town later.
