the address was merely Foxdale cottage - not 3 which was the schedule number - district 6 covers Kionsleau, Ballamenagh ... but would appear to start in Ballamenagh which is the quarterland in which the mines were mostly situated - as you go up mines road Ballamenaugh is on your right - the old school is still there a little beyond the new school built on the site of the old deads from the mine - look at www.manxnotebook.com/gazateer/foxdalev.htm - assuming the schoolmaster lived nextdoor to the school it is likely that the cottage might still be standing as there are a few older buildings around the school
