Charlotte,
By now you will be on a steep learning curve so I will just add a few bits to help you along.
Leodest Road is known locally as "Corletts" road from one of the older surname spellings-Curleod-one of the earliest known large land holders in this area.
Corlett is a unique manx surname and has been the second most commonly used as a result most decent sized manx family trees will show the name
Due to marrying in/inheritance etc.the farm area has had many buildings on it bearing the word Leodest, Lowdas etc. and also a number of different owners of the farm.
The remains of the two Leodest (East and West) Cottages mentioned on pages 131 and 132 were still there a few years ago.
Beware speculative websites on property and Google vacuuming.
You will find Kee (not our remit) on the following pages within the book:-
Kee (Key) 9,13,22,51,77,80,115,116,128,131,132,133,135,169,178,179,189,195,220,237
Beware of many errors in the book which consists mostly of unedited/corrected papers on disk by Donald Dugdale.
However we can reassure you that as old family friends of Donald the section he wrote, shown on pages 132/133, concerning Leodest to the best of our knowledge is basically correct.
He left the Island in 1945 after completing his secondary education.
