Recently I received into my possession some wonderful research on early Qualtroughs of the northern parishes of IOM (Lonan & Lezayre mainly) done by Nigel Crowe (for which I am most grateful) and am hopeful that this work will lead to at last my being able to link in all the early Qualtrough lines from Rushen, Arbory and Malew with those of Lonan, Lezayre and other northern parishes. I have many tantalising leads and possibilities but need proof through records of course. Like many researchers, I have many Williams and Thomas's etc and proving which one is which is and has been difficult.

I am seeking the help of those of you out there who have any proven early Qualtrough connections to other Manx famil/ies (through wills and other docs, parish refs etc)) as these other family connections could be the proof needed to link lines.

I would be most grateful of any assistance you can give. Thank you
