I should add that she is almost certainly wrong about 1.Philip Brew being the one who is in the IGI as bapt.Andreas 5 Dec.1686. She has no evidence that he moved from Andreas to Ballaugh and there are several contenders in the Andreas families who are far more likely to be this Philip. She has chosen him (as others have) because he is the only one at that time in the IGI, except for Philip son of Philip bapt Andreas 1688 who is also claimed by an Andreas family who have siblings recorded before and after his bapt.

J.A.Brew has "Philip of the Lhen (born ca.1640?) whose son and heir Philip (born ca.1686) was of the Lhen in 1719.."
and
"Philip "of Wallett", 1686-1758, married Bridget Camaish of Jurby 1723, was of Conneh bwee in 1729". [I think he is most likely to be the one with the bapt recorded on 5 December 1686, son of Philip, because his siblings also had recorded bapts before and after Philip - and double-checked in wills.]

This is part of the work of the late J.A.Brew:
Parish of Ballaugh (St. Mary)

Christian Ine Brew paid 6d for a farm of waste and 2d amercement as tenant of part of the Lord's Closes in 1515.

A family of Brews from Jurby came to Ballaugh in the 17th century. They flourished at Glion Moar, a small croft. One of their descendants, Juan Brew, bought Scroundal Mill in 1770. He was traditionally author of "Yn Bollan Bane" and a descendant of Mollycharane the Miser. The Brews sold the mill in 1830.

Adjoining the Scroundal Mill was the Brew property of Ballacurnkiel, part of the Bishop's demesne, where they farmed until at least the end of the century. William Brew owned 21 acres of Ballacurnkiel in 1867 and John Brew had 4 acres at Carmodil-beg.

Robert Brew died at Ballaugh in 1827, aged 21, and William Brew was "buried alive" at Ballaugh in 1934 (Isle of Man Examiner, 21 September 1934).
