Has anyone come across a John Crix, details above, who was "best mate" of my grandfather, Albert Palmer. They served for many years with the Ramsey Lifeboat crew and when my grandfather died in 1948, John Crix was still living, presumably still in Ramsey. When the "Ellan Vannin" sank there was a passenger aboard by the name of "Mrs Crix" which could have been related. My John Crix I think is the one listed on 1881 cenus - Mother Elizabeth and her 3 children, Elizabeth, John C (then 7 years of age) and Mary Jane, which states they were living "Lane off P Street", Maughold. I am hoping through any of John's friends or relations I can learn more about my Grandfather and his family.
Many thanks...Pat
