Hi Brenda,

That mannincloud website belongs to Ian Radcliffe in the IoM, who is a member of the IOMFHS, and an IT expert.

When Brian Lawson was dying he asked me to help him with checking his will index and transcripts while he was transferring his files across to a space which had been made available to him on the IOMFHS website. While I could see what was missing it was beyond me to be able to help recover them, so I asked Ian to help him, which he did. Brian died during this process, and Ian lost his access to the FHS website. He therefore started his own website, linked to Brian's wills index, and continued fixing the broken will links he had been working on. His intention was always to transfer his work to the FHS website, and to accept everyone's will transcripts to continue Brian's work. Unfortunately every time the FHS website moves the wills around they break the links so Ian (& Jim) have to reconnect each one again.

Ian has also given a home to numerous other items, including a more complete version of Brian's births index, more marriage contracts, and also to Brian's own "Families" which were removed from the FHS website.

See also Jim Smith's will transcripts. He used the LDS films which Brian had on extended loan at their local FHC, and did so many transcripts that Ian couldn't keep up. They are at:

And of course there are all the will summaries on Frances's website, which you have seen.
