True, no Lavinia within that family.

I have read so many forum posts & starting to read books about cross checking everything as when I started this I was completely new and with little information about Lavinia on IoM, other than the census/MC, that is all I know about her.

Guess thats half the fun (pain!) of trying to work out your family history from absolutely nothing!

Loving the Manx newspapers, thank you Frances for the tip! I can't stop looking at them. Found that Theo also played the piano too....perhaps thats where my musical genes come from!! I feel like I am getting to know him a little bit just from these small snippets!!
