Hi,

I'm just reposting a post Sue sent me. I know you are all trying to find Brian Lawson's Wills, and I've followed the leads as well, however Sue gave me a JurbyJim site that seems to be intact? Also, Frances has some info on her site as well.

Here's an edited version of Sue's posting:
That mannincloud website belongs to Ian Radcliffe in the IoM, who is a member
of the IOMFHS, and an IT expert.
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: www.mannincloud.info/

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:
www.jurbyjim.com/IOM/Wills.html
And of course there are all the will summaries on Frances's website, which you
have seen.
