LAZARUS CANEPA CAME TO THE ISLE OF MAN ABOUT THE 1840's,HE MARRIED A MANX GIRL ALICE GREEN IN 1850.THEY HAD FOUR CHILDREN,JOHN b1851,JOSEPH b1852,ANGELENA AND RACHEL b 1855.I THINK RACHEL MUST HAVE BEEN AN INFANT DEATH BECAUSE OTHER THAN HER BAPTISM PAPERS WHICH CANON ALGER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE ME A COPY I HAVE NO OTHER RECORD OF HER.MY REQUEST IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME IS;ACCORDING TO THE 1881 CENSUS LAZARUS CANEPA WAS A NATURALIZED BRITISH CITIZEN I AM LED TO BELIEVE THAT AFTER LIVING IN THE ISLE OF MAN FOR FIVE YEARS THIS QUALIFIES HIM TO BE NATURALIZED.IF THIS IS SO COULD ANYONE LET ME KNOW WHERE THE RECORDS WOULD BE HELD AND HOW ONE WOULD GO ABOUT GETTING INFORMATION FROM THESE RECORDS.LACK OF INFORMATION ON HIS LIFE BEFORE THE ISLAND IS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACE HIM ANY FURTHER,I ASSUME HIS NATURALIZATION PAPERS WOULD HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION OF HIS PARENTS,EXACT PLACE OF BIRTH [not just the country]EXACT BIRTH DATE etc.IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH MY QUERIES IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED
