Story I have been told is my late uncle Alexander Roach Palmer was taken in by relatives living in Kirk Michael when he was a few weeks old due to the illness of his mother, Anastasia Palmer. Auntie Annie May (wife of Willie Collister) was a daughter from Alex's fathers first marriage to Elizabeth Christian. Florence the elder daughter also helped to care for him. Any relations of Annie May Palmer/Willie Collister could confirm this and I would love to obtain photographs of Annie May and family. I believe there was a daughter Alex called Betty Collister (Elizabeth?) Albert Palmer was Alex's father and my grandfather. The story goes that at about 6 years of age Alex's mother, Anastasia and brothers John (my father) and Douglas came to take him back home to Liverpool as Annie could no longer look after him due to ill health. I belive after Annie May's death Willie Collester married a lady called Katie Kelly(?). Any descendants of this family still living on the Island? Before Alex left I believe the Collisters moved to Laxey. Any help really appreciated. Thanks . . . Pat
