Dear Ms. Coakley,
How do you find ORPHAN history on the Isle, ORPHAN HOMES, did they keep records, if so, are they obtainable? I wonder who the four orphans left on the sea shore, who took them in, they were not allowed to leave with their mother. I wonder how many other QUAKER ORPHANS could not go with their mothers. Were they MANX decendants, even though we know they intermarried, and then there were conversions of MANS TO THE QUAKERS as there were to MORMONS. Surely at the MUSUEM there would be records of some nature of the ancestry of the QUAKERS , MANX who CONVERTED to QUAKERS and their ancestry lines.

They played an intergral part on the Isle, not a GOOD ONE perhaps by the BISHOP BARROW and others, but needless to say they came to convert sinners, and they were lay preachers, men and women who met in their homes and in fields, stating the Kingdom was within the believer, not some buildings, so that would have looked very good to the MANX who burdens of tithes of fish, corn, services, to the BISHOP was pure imprisonment, whereby the QUAKERS offered freedom of belief with no taxes or oathes. but surely some records of the families were kept in MANX records.

Kindly yours,

Mrs. Rosa
