Hello mark,
I remebber the Pass family living in old Laxey on the I.O.M.
They ran a Sub Post office / small shop selling general household needs.
I only remember two children a son, and Barbara who was approximately the same age as me..
I moved from Laxey just after the second World war,so lost touch with school friends.
That shop is now empty, though I believe new people did take over.after the Pass family..
