I am trying to trace an Alice and Mary (possibly born as Collister, or their mothers may have been Collisters) who were living in the IOM in about 1960. They would possibly have been about 50-60 years of age in 1960. I have a blurry photograph of them taken when my brother visited the island in 1961/2. They were related to the Collisters of Santon who lived in Croft House, Santon, in the 1880s.

My grandmother was Anna Collister (she emigrated to Australia in about 1884 and married there). She was one of the 11 children of John Collister and Esther Clague of Croft House. I believe Alice and Mary could have been daughters or granddaughters of one or more of Anna's siblings. I don't know whether they were sisters or cousins.

If anyone can identify them, or has information on any other descendants of that Collister family, I would be really interested.
