Hi Frances,
Andrew is unusual -he started a trend though - perhaps it suggests a family link to Scotland or the Scots-Irish.
Thanks for the fishing info. It is possible he was involved in the Antrim or Down uprisings in 1798 - I need to read my Manx Fencibles book! Or perhaps her family moved here to escape the problems in Ireland at that time.
Ian
