Thanks Yusser, that would be nice.

I've been looking in the censuses for a likely Cowley in Kirk Michael and found an Ann Cowley, single, aged 67, living on own means at Glen Wyllin in 1901.

She is with her parents William Cowley & Elizabeth (Radcliffe? Teare?), brother James etc at Ballacregga in the censuses from 1851 to 1881, and at the White House in 1841.

I wonder if this is the right one to be Auntie Cowley - she would be pretty ancient in the 1930s! although she does seem to come from a family of long-livers. In 1901 her brother James (I'm assuming) is close by at Berk aged 70, also single, and her father William Cowley was aged 90 in the 1891 census for Glen Wyllin.

And I'm still wondering what her claim to fame could be - perhaps it was because she was a Manx speaker? (Says 'Both' on the 1901 census). I'm guessing that was increasingly rare in the early years of the 20th century and people might have visited to hear her speak or learn from her?

We used to walk from Douglas to Port Soderick on Good Fridays - when it was a nice place and even when it was derelict!
