Manx Genealogy

Re: Howland/Curphey North Ramsey

Thank you, Nigel, for all this wonderful information! It's exciting to get a bit more of a human picture to go along with all the dates. I only wish I'd known more of this when I visited last May!

You mention Thomas Kneen - is he the one that married Catherine Kneen (daughter of Daniel and Isabella) or a different one (they were 2nd cousins as far as I can see)? Is Daniel and Isabella's cottage 30 Bowring Road? Thomas and Catherine Kneen were there in the 1881 census, I think.
I would very much like to know more about these ancestors and their life in Ramsey. I think the last part of your post might have been missing (re: more on the Callows and N Ramsey) - could you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks once again. I'm so pleased to be able to fill in a huge part of the never-ending puzzle with the details you provided.
