Hello Larry,
I will have a look at your Looney family DNA project and the one shown as L-5 that points back to the Isle of Man.

There is no Robert Looney born 1692 in Maughold, Isle of Man.

All the information comes from Frances – who has the Website – A Manx Note Book – www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/

Below is my reply to Sarah.

Hello Sarah,
That's exactly what I wanted to see - Thank you.
this leads right back to the Malew Looney Family, you have c1692 for Robert Looney (went to America).
AND - Robert Looney Baptised in 1689 - is your match - Well done!

correction they are still only summarised on the CD (most of a deed is legal boiler plate) - if people need a transcript or want to query my reading of a place name (not always easy as usually only mentioned once) either contact me or pay for a copy of deed from Museum - if you have access to the extremely expensive place name books by George Broderick then he usually gives the deed ref under a placename entry which may give another mechanism of finding a relevant deed.
The index on the CD is complete in all but one or two parishes to 1801, and in the smaller parishes to 1847 when the registration mechanism changed (more will be added during my return to Peel next week to while away time on boat + train) - the Museum has had a team of volunteers working on the post 1880 deeds (to be accessible via iMuseum) and probably will start on the post 1847 books shortly.
I've made a very small start on mortgages - these will be added once the deed index is complete (23,000 deeds pre 1847 with maybe 20% Douglas - there are some 1800 marriage contracts in the deeds) - maybe 10,000 ? mortgages.

Hello Shelby,
Frances has found your Isle of Man family,

I suspect the Robert is probably better linked with Ballasalla Malew than Maughold which if I understand the earlier discusion was a late guess that seems not borne out by any facts - there are several Looneys (or Lewneys) from Ballasalla that appear to have Irish links eg see 1726 decree of Thomas (+ my earlier land transfer) - s/o Robt Loony(late of Ballasalla) being out of Island several yrs - his sis Christian Looney reported her sis Cath Loony in Dublin stated he had been dead several years + that she Christian had heard nothing to contrary for 7 yrs; sibs Robt, cath + christian jt admrs;court order for Robt Looney(Ballasalla) to pay sis Christian Serjeson all due by death parents Robt + Alice Loony;Robt queried whether Christian (who had been out of Island 23yrs) was his sister but several neighbours made oath that she was
