Manx Genealogy

Re: Bahee/Bridget plus Joney/Judith, etc.

one key factor is the anglicisation of the Manx away from Gaelic spellings - Donold became I think Dollin and Daniel - David I suspect was from the Scots
Joney I think was made into the 'posher' Judith by those climbing the social ladder but comes I think from same name that gives the modern Scots Jeanee or plain English/American Jane
