Doarlish Ard
In Response To: 1851 Marown Census ()

I am sure someone has read about the Killey Family Tragedy at Doarlish Ard
that happened in 1868. I have a family interest in the Shimmin family from
Peel.
According to the latest article I have read an Archibald Shimmin was
involved in
saving some of the family. I can elaborate on the story if you wanted.

Would anyone know who owned the Property 'Doarlish Ard'? It is not that far
from St. Johns and a walking distance to Foxdale where James Killey worked.

Today the farm house is a ruin but someone must own it. I am particularly
interested in who owned it in the 1930-50's, as some hearsay I have is that
an
Eleanor Shimmin of Peel owned it.

Thanks for the interesting discussions.

Ihave had trouble getting a message to this group it seems to have changed since I last used it. What is the address I should send emails too?
