In records as late as 1720, women's maiden names alone may be given, or the two surnames used interchangeably. In Epis. 1720 the list of 'defunctoru nomina' in Maughold has "Alice Killey als Saile". Her will [Ramsey 1720] has her name as Aylice Sayle alias Gill, and names her children as Wm Gill, Christian Gill etc., and her husband John Gill.
